I have always advocated that people work with a copy of their EQ directory and not their actual directory. My own experience with UO shows that the game providers love to break the client decoders -- for no apparent reason.
But another reason to have separate directories is that Verant has been sloppy about their patches at times and some patch releases will either kill you client completely or have a higher than expected failure rate in the client (zone crashes).
Verant is doing some mucking around and last night I saw some really bad client behavior including complete screen freezes, frequent zone crashes, a GPF -- every single time when I quit.
And yes, I did reboot and still got those GPFs.
