Looking for MMO which isn't blocked by my University Resnet.

The problem I have is that the my University uses something called Resnet which restricts access to a lot of external gaming servers.  I was wondering if anyone knew of a game which might not be restricted by this, open to any suggestions but my favourite genre of mmorpg is fantasy.

Thanks

    If noone knows of a game which isn't blocked does anyone know of a way I might be able to get around the system?

    Why are you asking here?  This is a question for the University's admin/ ISO.

    Is it specific address blocks or incoming port blocks?  If the latter you need to find a game that doesn't require those incoming ports to function. No-one can tell you than unless they're privy to the list of blocked ports - like this one here: http://acms.ucsd.edu/units/resnet/incomingportblocks.shtml

    And even then, you'd need to check it on a game-by-game basis.

    I'd suggest talking to someone from your Uni's IT department and asking them about it. I'd imagine each campus has it's own degree of filtration/blocking going on, as in they tailor Resnet to their own specific template. The only way to find that out would be to ask someone in IT support on-campus.

    One alternative solution is to use a VPN to play your games if it's not blocked over the resnet if it' snot blocked. Try a commercial service it's about $10 a month or so. Blizzard forums might name a few good ones, and i'm sure the members here will know a good one also.
