Even if you wanted to get a mac, you would be crazy not to go check it out on PC first before making that investment if there are known issues. Lack of development and support for a server like that I can understand, but performance issues that break bards? On a live server now?

Besides the era, being on a live server with the polish and performance that should bring is half the point, no? I say this as a current paying subscriber to EverQuest.
I've only gotten to level 6 as a bard, so I can't offer a lot in the way of criticism for the server. However as I did say in my previous post, I'm experiencing significant server-side latency issues that spikes up only when I start pulling multiple NPCs for an AoE kite. And I'm not talking half of a zone, maybe 5-10 mobs at a time. This results in mobs randomly jumping closer to you than perceived mid-circle, which will mean certain death at higher levels. This was happening in four different zones for me.

Is this normal for Mac users? Could it have something to do with being on a Windows machine using a hacked copy of EQ Titanium to connect? Is there a Trojan in the patch files so that Secrets can see what kind of porn I'm viewing late at night? I have no idea. I tried asking some higher level bards if they had difficulty PBAoE kiting but they all seemed to be using charm and chants instead.
