Anyone play EQ at work???

I'm just curious to see if anyone has had the ballz to install and play on their work PC. Very tempting to play in window-mode on slow days, but not sure how "noticable" I would be to our IT department when connected to the emulator server.

probably no attention at all. The amount of traffic EQ uses is minimal, on non-standard ports.

However if your IT blocks the ports, you're fucked.

I do.

But I'm also the IT guy... so like... I'm not going to be telling on myself. I doubt you'd pull much notice considering EQ could be run on dialup.

I play at work and it has not been an issue..then again I am on an unmonitored network that only I have access to =).

I play at work, but then again.. I'm the boss.

There a way to test to see if they're blocked or not from my PC w/o having to install EQ first?

check out the EQ Lite thread and look into putting it on a usb, then you can just plug n play

Wild. So this is like having EQ in my pocket ready-to-go at all times? Totally awesome!
