spengler, who pointed me at its new Mac OS X beta) play Second Life? The only MMORPG I know of to get a toehold into my local crew is Puzzle Pirates. (Which is also out for Mac, but the basic concept isn't as interesting to me.)
In the interest of market research I've elected to put ten bucks down on a basic membership (it has a 7-day free trial but we both know I'm too lazy to actually cancel before that comes 'round), but can't really use the client, it turns out. It ran horribly on my G4/800MHz PowerBook (which is 200 MHz behind the minimum requirements, I now see), and then wrote more than half a gig of cache files to my hard disk, which I noticed when I completely ran out of disk space. So, uh, I probably won't try the Mac version again soon. I could play the Windows version at work (assuming I have some sort of reasonable graphics card in that PC; I really have no idea) but not when anyone's watching, which rather limits my availablity with it. Hmmmf.
