Default 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.

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

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