As promised I'm back to talk about what has happened. I downloaded a 30 day trial of VMWare Fusion and installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit onto my late 2013 iMac 27". I bought a cheap LG GP60 external DVD writer to install EQ Titanium onto the VM. Everything worked fine. I didn't need to tweak or configure VMWare or EQ for everything to work. I've set EQ to the largest screen size using the normal in game options menu and dragged the Windows window out so that a small border is around the EQ window. Everything fits well inside the iMac's larger screen size. So, I'm back in Norrath (Qeynos) and loving reliving my memories.
Now I just need to buy Fusion in 30 days time but the lack of fiddling around and the confidence that it will just work is sort of worth it.
Cheers!
