I've installed it and got the launcher up, I go to deploy and click on a server to join. It then runs through a list and just says "slot open for you in...." at the bottom, but nothing happens.
What's going on? I've done all the file checks and everything..

I see you're using a Mac. I've never owned one personally so I don't quite know how things work on there.
Did 25Assist download AA for you (it's an 11 step process and takes at least 10 minutes, I believe)?
If possible, try running Assist as administrator/superuser.
I hope someone more familiar with macs will be able to help you further.

is it intel mac? I'm on a mac as well, you don't need to run Assist with any higher powers like some of Windows users have to do, how it should work is just to download, extract, install and go to deploy tab from where you simply need to double click on a server, nothing more

Yeah it's just not booting up, training says to reset and repair. tried that and reinstalling the whole thing. Must just be the Mac is too old or something, I'm at work and it's from 2007, though I thought it would be able to run this game...
Our router don't block anything so it isn't that either.

it's pretty old one, I have MacBook Pro (late 2013) and can't brag about the performance of this one either

Considering AA2.5 was released before that (don't really know when exactly, but Linux/Mac support was dropped in 2006) I'd say it should be able to run it (not great, but it should at least try).
You could try and run AA without Assist, see if that works (I think Ronski might know a way to unpack the app or do I remember incorrectly?).
Another thing you could try to pinpoint the error would be to run the game from a commandline (it helped me get mine working on my Ubuntu).
Other than that, I'm out of ideas, really.

Navigate to /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/25Assist/
( click Finder as your active app, hold down option and from top bar choose GO > Library, this way you'll get Application Support visible at your Library ), then just doubleclick on AA25.app. For me it tries to connect to server where I last was online, but because Assist is not open I can't join the server. After that will the actual game main menu appear
With unpacking the app Teddy prolly means opening package contents, it can be done by right clicking on .app file and choosing "Show package contents". This way you can add for example your own forceclass script files to correct folder and use them at server

Yes, Ronski, that's what I meant.
If the game launches on it's own (in the manner described by Ronski) then the problem could be elsewhere.

Ok that way it says not compatible with my version of OS X, 10.4 something.
