Will EQ run inside a virtual machine?
Was curious if anyone has ever tried it and if so was there any issues? VMware type.

As far as I know, VMs don't currently support 3D acceleration, though I haven't tried this personally.

I checked on that and apparently it is possible now...

Yes, it will. Modern virtualization technology supports 3D acceleration. VMware Fusion and Player both run EQ, though the mouse acceleration can be a bit wonky.

Last I tried, Windows Virtual PC wouldn't do it. VMWare might.

Everquest will not run in Linux (tried with fedora 14) in a vm using kvm because of lack of 3d acceleration. What are you trying to do exactly?

VirtualBox will do it on almost any host platform.

On Mac VMWare is the way to go. On linux, use Wine. It works.
