The EQEmu channel is never empty. and even if it was, it's registered so that you would not become an OP if you were the only person in the room. Usually when channels are not registered the first person to visit the room gets OP'd.

The fact that the room OP'd you makes me believe the channel was not there until you joined it. so you could have joined a non-eqemu IRC server (note the term "server") and joined a channel that was not there to begin with. This could mean anything.
If what you speak is true then you were not connected to the official EQEmu server (irc.eqemu.net).
Beyond that, speculation is up to you. this topic need not go any further..
I'll let you reply again since this is your thread, then i'm going to lock it.
