Yeah, I had it running in the background for months, since I didn't do much with the computer. I sometimes used it for EQ to be able to play a second character, but as it's so old now (P3/600, 512 MB RAM, old GeForce2 card, 6 GB drive, and Win98) I can't seem to get it to run EQ without crashing on startup. So now it's just a "goof around on" system.
Maybe someday SOE will fix the game so it will run again, but I suspect it'll require downgrading EQ's requirements back to DX8.0 since it was them going to DX9 that left me unable to even start the game on it anymore.
/sigh
