My wife and I would love to play together. I posted on the petition forum three days ago and have yet to hear a reply. Can anyone tell me how long it takes for this?

[Abner]

It took over a week for us. Just be patient. I think they do a batch all at once from time to time.

[Greymantle]

Thanks for the reply. :)

Can take up to a month iirc. Be patient

All depends, I got lucky and got mine in like 3 days once. I've heard of stories of people waiting much longer, but that was a while back, since then the staff has increased I believe and I can't recall the last time I heard a nightmare story about a long wait.

Go here:

Click "New Thread"

Choose "IP Exemption" in the prefix drop down list. Make sure you include both your account and the other account's name, and the relationship of the other person you will be playing with.

Please be mindful that these are performed in batches, so it may take a few weeks to be set up.

IP exemptions are done in batches every few weeks. Stay patient and it will be processed.

IP Exemptions are also the one thread you actually don't want to bump.

The gents at strongvpn (http://strongvpn.com/) were super helpful for me. $7 to be able to play a game with my girlfriend for an extra few weeks while the poor overworked admins here got around to my application wasn't much of a price.

To be honest, I ended up liking the VPN capability so much that I kept it.

Thanks!

Sad to say I had to bump it for I forgot to put our account names. :(

Mine took about 3 weeks, I think that's about average. Look into StrongVPN I used it and it works great and is fairly cheap.

It basically routes a single computer through different servers so it appears to have a different IP Address. If one person is logged in through that, and another through your normal connection, you will have different IP addresses. It's a pretty great stopgap.

You know "watching kids" isn't a literal thing, right? It's extremely easy to simultaneously play EQ and watch kids. Heck, EQ is so easy you can gain xp and prepare dinner at the same time.

[SamwiseRed]

nah nah, that aint true.

What do you use this for?

My bro rents a room in my basement, we both play. It basically is an IP exemption work around while you wait the 1-30 days for it to go through.

We have our exemption now but I kept it to do crap like stream local MLB games and crap that restricts you geographically.

Also can use it to fix latency issues sometimes, with things like twitch TV.

Just keep in mind that using a VPN to by-pass the lack of an IP Exemption is still against the server rules if you get caught.

[mishurza]

If you are using VPN AND you actually have 2 people playing your going to be fine, you will pass the GM dual-boxer test.
