Just curious on how many actually play the game while they are at work sitting in their cubicles, office, bosses office, lunch room.

I play at work, while sitting in my cube, mostly just sitting in EC tunnel, but sometimes i venture out and try to kill things, most times I get someone at my desk and I almost die.

Anyone else?

Tragically as previously mentioned I do play at work, although I'm behind a retarded ass firewall.

So go go Teamviewer remote support! You can usually find me chilling in the EC tunnel giving out sow.

Screw trying to go anywhere though. Hard to do at .05FPS

same here :) it's fun to just sit in the ec tunnel and watch the market but when I feel daring I make a little adventure every now and then. FD is my "boss-button"..

I have on occasion. We are on a closed network though so I have to use my laptop tethered to my iPhone for a connection but it works great. No lag at all and EQ usues VERY minimal data. so far it averages at about 8-12mb an hour

Honestly, I play almost exclusively at work. I rarely play at home.

I do, although not through my works network due to gaming ports being blocked.
To get around it, I use an iPass card on an extra laptop.

I used to in live back in 99-00. If I had something to work on then I didn't play, but often times they left the junior programmers with little to do.

I would tell people I was a professional video game player since I was getting paid to do it, hehe.

No surprise when they began layoffs. Mismanagement rocks!

I could actually connect to live from my old job. Hated that place, but now I miss it just due to this lol

I work from home, so no problem. In fact the only time I play is while i'm at work, so it doesn't conflict with my family time. Pretty much excludes me from raiding, but I can live with that.

i have shut the door to my office while doing paper work and camped simple mobs...stuff i can afk between kills and check back every 30 min.

it really isn't all that disruptive.

I usually only play at work, but I also have been working from home the entire summer. Once I go back into the office I'll still play but probably not as much.

LOL Chicanery...


I wouldn't dare play while at work...I can totally understand for people like Hotel receptionists, etc - I once saw a guy at a vendor in the mall playing WoW on his laptop. He must not be paid by commission...

I only play between projects, and when I am needed to fix stuff...all the other lull time is spent surfing the net or sittin in EC tunnel.
