I'm going to be TDY (temporary duty) but will be playing EQ on my laptop. Is there anything I need to do as far as not getting banned? I know that p99 has rules about multi boxing... I doubt anyone else plays where I am going. Just wanted to ask!

Do I have to do anything so I don't get flagged for logging in a different state than I normally am in? Thanks!

You'll be fine. There's nothing saying you can't play EQ from multiple IPs. You just (literally) cannot play from the same IP as another person unless your accounts are exempt. It won't let you.

As Drox said, you have nothing to worry about, unless A) someone else in the barracks is playing EQ at the same time AND B) your barracks router somehow treats you both as sharing an IP address (which I think would be unusual) ... and even then, all that would happen is a message about not being able to get in.

In the (very unlikely) case that happens, a VPN is a cheap (<$5/month) workaround ... but again I doubt one will be necessary.
