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 =).

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 (http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=7186) 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!

i guess selling cake decorations from home over the phone has its benefits afterall.

I'm actually thinking about it. I don't have a very office-based job, but I know my employers (a church) want me to spend 15-20hours in the office to be more visible (I'm in youth ministry) so having the game handy would keep me more occupied at work.

Gah, I can't wait for my copy of Titanium to get here!

No offense, but remind me never to hire any of you, for anything... ever. :D
