For those of you who are sharing an IP address, how long did it take for your request to be processed? I've submitted a request perhaps a week ago and I've yet to receive a response.

All of the IP exemptions are done in batches, meaning they likely haven't done a batch yet since you filed. This can take a few days to a week to several weeks all depending on when you file in relation to when they do another batch.

Just be patient, they'll get to it.

Generally i think this is a bad idea, if you get an ip exemption one of the other GM's will just ban you and whomever your playing with for having 2 clients running on the same IP address...

I wish they would get our exemption done soon. My husband and I like to work together. You know the saying, "The couple that slays together stays together."

it took us about 3 weeks to get the exemption.
not too bad considering these guys are doing everything for free.
They'll get to you.

um.. you cant have two clients logged in from the same ip UNLESS a GM made flagged the accounts exempt. so um.. if a GM saw two clients from the same IP and decided to ban the accounts, that same GM would also be an idiot.

Having an IP exemption does not remove you from suspicion of boxing. If we find out that there are not two people playing, both accounts will be banned, IP exemption or not.

I'd imagine an exemption is like a big flag saying "Watch me I'll probably be boxing one of these days"...

Would it not be easier to permit 2 logins from a single IP and when detected, request them to fill out an exception form? Could save some processing cycles of the admin staff?

Easier for the people wanting to get away with boxing or the people that have legitimate significant others they want to play with, sure.

Easier on the staff that run this server completely for free for you and me? No, not at all. Why should it be their job to try to police roughly 800-1200 people that all have the ability to 2 box just to save the roughly 20% of the population that needs an exemption the 2-3 week wait to have it filled?

Their server, their rules. Don't wait if you don't want to.

I suggest going and getting a few items from a Taco Bell near you. Once you return I'm sure your IP exemption will be granted.

And if not, shit, at least you've got a mouthful of crunch wrap supreme to ease your mind.

oh no doubt Ezuen, i was responding to Kalzins post, which i believe was saying a GM would ban a player simply for having 2 accounts logged in from the same IP. but granted, if at any time any player (especially those with ip exemptions) is caught controlling two toons at the same time, i'd vote for cutting off their hands
