BioWare officially confirmed that they are bringing the game to Mac. I want to thank everyone who stood firm on this demand until they finally listened to our community.
Star Wars: The Old Republic, currently in development by BioWare, is an upcoming massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG) based in the Star Wars universe. The Old Republic marks BioWare's first entry into the MMORPG market, and it will be the second Star Wars MMORPG after Star Wars: Galaxies.
In the 1990s, Apple computers did not attract the same level of video game development as Windows computers due to the high popularity of Windows and, for 3D gaming, Microsoft's DirectX technology. In recent years, the introduction of Mac OS X and support for Intel processors has eased porting of many games, including 3D ones through use of OpenGL. Virtualization technology and BootCamp also permit the use of Windows and its games on Macintosh computers. Today, a number of popular games run natively on Mac OS X, though many require the use of Windows.
We promise that if The Old Republic is made to be compatible with Macintosh computers, we will buy the game and enjoy it.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned.

I'm very interested in playing this game on a Mac. I have yet to hear a good reason why this isn't available already.. There has clearly been a high demand for it since the game's release.
I don't care how "amazing" the graphics are either. Even if the game's graphics were to be watered down.. I'd still enjoy it.

Please Please Please port this game to the Mac. I really want to be able to play this game since one of my younger brothers passed away a few months before launch day so we never got the chance to play with each other and I'd like play this game for the both of us...
