if they're experiencing network slowdowns there are probably multiple people running p2p or streaming shit, both are generally against company policies also.

one person running everquest will not hurt a network that isn't already fucked to begin with, this game ran on 56k remember? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

here's another option, OP. do you have an android phone? is tethering an option for you? they can't trace that :P they might be angry they can't remote because you're not connected to their network though

Chances are really good he didn't see the game, as Rogean said, it wouldn't likely support direct x. However, an IT person not knowing what Everquest.exe is? Yeah.......................... they know what you did. Most likely it was just the person randomly logging in because he wanted to check on some setting.

It's a pretty good bet that they don't care.

If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.

Im an IT engineer at a video game company. I RDP (remote desktop protocol) into users computers almost on daily basis, Pc they are using is companys and almost any company out there (all the ones ive worked for and heard of) have as part of the hiring paperwork a page about anything and everything you do on companies pcs is company's property, you have no privacy. I don't have to do that to see what they do. My firewall shows me every connection they have open, if I find an ip that has a ton of hits I can research it, and a quick google of p99's ip will point to this page, at that point I look in logs to see what times the ip was hit over the last month/year whatever, if it's during business hours and not at lunch I either create a file about it and use later if requested or if the person is a douche I just forward the info to their lead.

Aside from firewall I have programs that will do a remote domain controller client scan and tell me every piece of software that is installed on anyones machine, good for catching p2p software or pirated software, since it shows me the keys used.

Basically as an IT engineer I have a ton of tools to see what/how and when you use your computer. If I really need to I can capture screenshots of your desktop, or logs of evything you type on the pc, msn/aim logs etc.. As I said, company's pc. Zero privacy, even in the basement in a cube by yourself. Befriend your IT guy, if you are on his network he owns you.

As others said, most of the time you get away with it because the IT guy doesn't care as long as you do your job. We have plenty of guys thaw screw off, but when they work they are total rockstars, I don't care if they screw off.

On another note, yes the screen will go black if you RDP into a directs app, but the process is still there eqgame.exe and window title, super easy to google.

P.s. - buy our game comes out may31 pc/360/ps3 named Hunted:demons forge from Bethesda [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
