You can run and play Phoenix on your iMac or MacBook using WINE.

Tested and working fine in OSX Mojave. Here is how I did it.

Open up your Launchpad - Click Other - Click and open Terminal..

The code snippets below are what you'll be typing into terminal.

Install Homebrew

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Installing Homebrew should only take a few seconds or minutes (depending on the speed of your internet connection). When it's done, the Terminal will say that the installation was successful, and ask you to run brew doctor. Do as it suggests:

brew doctor

Install XQuartz Using Homebrew

brew cask install xquartz

Install WINE using HomeBrew

brew install wine

Install DAoC

Download the game installer: https://playphoenix.online/#gettingstarted

Run the installer

Using Terminal, navigate to your downloads directory and run the installer:

cd Downloads
wine DAoCSetup.exe

While that is happening, download the Phoenix Launcher from the getting started page: https://playphoenix.online/#gettingstarted

Navigate to the installation folder.

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/"Program Files (x86)"/Electronic\ Arts\/Dark\ Age\ of\ Camelot

Run the game:

wine Phoenix.exe

I did have to reboot for the game to run..

To interact with the installation to say, install a custom UI, you can navigate to the folder by going to finder - Click on Go scroll down to and click on Go to Folder and enter:
~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Electronic Arts/Dark Age of Camelot

Click on go and drag and drop your files normally.
