It doesn't look like that actually interfaces to any games, rather
it's just a standalone IM system.  That's just from looking at the
site, though.  The screen shot looks kind of obvious that's a
standalone system...

There was an EverQuest plugin for Trillian, but I don't know if it
still works.  The plugin interfaced directly with the EQ chat system
via the "EQIM" protocol.

There used to be a few IRC bots on EQ, interfaced via IRC-EQIM
gateways.  One in particular could respond with item statistics if
you sent it a /tell.
