I reviewed the university's peer-to-peer policy, and it acknowledges legitimate uses of peer-to-peer services. However, to validate use, I must have the dean of one of the departments approve its use for academic purposes and forward a message regarding that to the systems administrator.
Considering that a computer engineering major my freshman year was told he could not use peer-to-peer programs to download a monthly programming ezine for which he paid a subscription fee, I doubt that I'll have much luck finding a dean willing to okay an MMORPG.
My best bet is likely what JKTrix suggested. Just have to hope that I can find someone who makes a habit of doing that.
