The Paragon Market is going to give you huge problems with 10.5.8. You should upgrade to at least Snow Leopard (10.6) if you can.
It works pretty well with Snow Leopard and Lion - you can purchase stuff, but hanging around the Paragon Market for a long time will crash you once in a while.

Thanks for confirming that Cuppa. In looking at the differences between Snow and Lion it will come down to my preferences/need for the what else the actual OS gives me outside of CoH. Based on the Apple website though I see what you mean by upgrading to Snow "at least." That an interesting business model that you apparently need Snow before you can get Lion; I didn't realize that before.
Anyways thanks for the response Cuppa, you always seem to be the "goto" person for all things Mac related when it comes to these boards.

I believe you can now purchase a USB stick with Lion on it now but I don't know if you need to have 10.6 to use that.

Even if it isn't officially supported, sometimes you can skip a version without problem. For example Tiger (10.4) -> Snow Leopard (10.6) does work, I've done it myself. Apple just doesn't officially support it. It might be worth googling if this can be done 10.5 -> 10.7 as well.|

I just got a new Macbook Pro with Lion, but I don't like some of the new features. I prefer Snow Leopard. If you have Leopard, I would just do the upgrade to Snow Leopard for 29 (if I remember the price correctly).
Keeping the market open for a long time is also crashing the game for my Windows friends, so it doesn't seem to be Mac specific.
Sorry if this is covered somewhere already; I looked back/ searched through as many threads as i could but didn't find an "aha!! that exactly answers my questions" post.
Every time I try and browse through the market to spend some of my 2000 well earned ViP points on the market, CoH crashes on me. Simply freezes it up so I need to reboot and everything. I was hoping with the update this morning that this might have been on the QoL improvement list but.... it wasn't.
Now I suspect in reading through some of the other threads, this is due to with the fact that i am running 10.5.8 and, as this is no longer supported, I am SoL until I upgrade. I am not here to complain that it should be fixed for 10.5 rather was just wondering for those of you running Lion that this isn't a similar issue. Leopard is ok for me for right now but this might push me farther down the tracks into upgrading if it lets me use my 2000 points that would be "wasted" if it's a matter of simply upgrading the ol' OS (which I really should have done already anyways.)
