If you look at what you need to do to "use" eqemu, you are really doing just about nothing. You don't need to load ANYTHING on your computer. If you want to use it the way I do, you just go into one of your text files and change some lines, which points you to where some other people have set up servers. you are doing nothhing different than what you'd do if you wanted to change some of your character config files (to turnoff armor models for instance)- in fact, it is doing less than what Verant encourages people to do when it comes to the new UI files (they are files you copy into your EQ directory).

If your really paranoid, just delete that file txt before trying to play on the regular servers again and it will repatch it for you, and they could never know.

As for EQW, for the last 6 months everyone i play with has been laughing at me for NOT using it. Pretty much everyone in any high level guild has it. I didn't because i usually have bad luck (with bugs) with such things, but this week I got it to help EQemu run easier (only for the login) and WOW! my computer runs everquest 10 faster with EQW than without it- no idea why, but it helps with the regular servers as well. I kick myself for not getting it sooner like everyone said. And its not like its some big program, its a measly little file that took 2 minutes to download on my crappy connection.
