Mac Users Getting Screwed By New Launcher?

As of 0800 EST i have been unable to get the game to launch from the old launcher, no matter what i do. So i proceeded to stroll over to the forums and see what i could find, i noticed that Avatea had a post stating the following two points, which have me wondering...

"We will be discontinuing support for the current City of Heroes updater soon so bear in mind that when that happens, customers who have not upgraded to the NCsoft Launcher will be unable to log into the game using the City of Heroes updater!"

"Question 9: I'm on a Mac. Does the NCsoft Launcher work for that?

Answer 9: There will be a Mac OS version of the updated NCsoft Launcher. We will be giving you more information on this as soon as possible."




So, if i understand this, all of using the Mac version of the game are paying to not be able to play now because you have chosen to block login from the previous loader, but fail to give part of your community (no matter how small it may be) the ability to log in to a game that they are paying a monthly fee for?

I think it would be reasonable to at least have a general time frame of when we can expect this.

OSX and Linux users are getting the middle finger from NCSoft over this matter.

My feelings on the subject have already been made in other threads.

I'm not sure if I, or Manga for that matter, will be able to provide a reliable solution for subscribers not playing on Windows in time for Issue 20 release.

Thank you Tex, as long as everything works out with getting my account verified post-security update for master accounts, i dont care if im using the old updater, i havent had many issues i couldnt fix on my own.
