By the way to use EQ with Wine you need to make a minor patch - I downloaded source and built a custom version of Wine for EQ since this change can break other apps ...

(from the Everquest section of WineHQ)

Add this line:
pCaps->MaxVertexBlendMatrices=0x4;

In file:
(your wine source directory)/dlls/d3d9/directx.c

At function:
IDirect3DDevice9Impl_GetDeviceCaps(LPDIRECT3DDEVIC E9 iface, D3DCAPS9* pCaps)

Before returning (return hrc[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.], line 176 (as of 0.9.55)

Build wine as usual.

If anyone is really interested I can post a HOWTO on getting EQ up in LINUX.

DarwinePorts Wine already has this patched. As does CrossOver Games for Mac

With that said, I actually play EverQuest in VirtualBox on my 2009 MacBook Pro 13". 1280x800 lags a little, but it is still playable. I'd imagine any recent Mac with a dedicated video card would do fine that way.
