Personally I think that ghosts actually hang an open connection with people's PCs even if they exit EQ completely. I have definitely seen where people were logged off and I was still getting tons of traffic from their IP.
I probably need to do more testing with it. I am sure I will get back to investigating connections after I get free time from developing content on my server.
But, if you are concerned about ghosting, you should try my script in the quest section for zone resets on timers. You set how often you want the zone to be reset and the quest will give warnings and then reset the zone. It has made a huge difference on my server performance.
