Okay, so far, I'm having trouble (I'm new to this coding thing) with being able to play.

"This game is currently unavailable. Please try again another time."

I tried to do the coding that some forum posted up, but that's not helping me at all, since I don't know how to. This Mac is running the Lion OS X, so I hope that the whole Lion "doesn't support PowerPC" thing is not involved in this.

Is there anyone that can tell me how? Step-by-step?

How are you trying to play

How are you trying to play the game? Are you using the downloadable client, the browser version, or the Steam version?
Sometimes players in Asia are told that the game is unavailable if they're playing on Steam, and Steam for Mac is pretty...flakey.

What coding thing are you referring to?

Just trying to get the game going to my mac

Using the Steam-powered software. This is the coding I was referring to, submitted in the steam forums. I'm in the US area so I think this shouldn't be related to the Asian thingy.

Open Terminal.app

type the following:

cd /Users/[username]/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/spiral\ knights

Hit enter.

Then type

sh run.sh

And hit enter.

I'm not sure how to do this.

Okay, have you already

Okay, have you already downloaded and installed the game with Steam? You'll need to do that, and make sure it's installed to the location you listed under "type the following."

Are you already familiar with Terminal? It's similar to the Windows cmd (Command). If you know what to type, you can get your Mac to do certain things such as force an application like Spiral Knights to open.

Once you've installed the game, open Terminal.app like the Steam forums suggested.
Type the full location of Spiral Knights on your hard drive into the terminal, then hit enter.

cd /Users/[username]/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/spiral\ knights

Another user suggested trying:
cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/spiral\ knights/

After that, you can try the command
sh run.sh
or
chmod +x run.sh

This seems to be an issue with Steam for Mac, no ETA on an offical fix but hopefully that should get you into the game.
