Another question :P
 

We were granted our IP exemption, but we still can't log on together... what should we do?

Be more specific so that someone could potentially help you.

We petitioned for an exemption. It was granted earlier in the week and moved the resolved petitions forum, but we still can't log 2 accounts on at the same time. He works 3rd shift, so we didn't actually try to log on together until today. He was logged in and we tried to log me on and it still gives the IP block message.

Are you sure you used the exactly correct account names and such when you posted for the exemption?

Yes. We requested it for boyfriend's account, his brother's, and mine as we all used to game together periodically, often from our house with other games. We can't log on any combination of the accounts together.

I guess start another thread in the petition forum then, unless someone else here has better advice.

Sorry :(

That's ok. Thanks for trying though!

Did you check your IP when you submitted the exemption? If so- is it still the same IP? Sometimes you may periodically get a new one from your ISP. This would cause the exemption to become moot.

No, I didn't check come to think of it. The modem hasn't been reset since then though and we've never had that happen before... I'll make note of it now though, just in case!

If nothing else works (or you run low on patience) and either of you has a smartphone, you can actually just use it to tether your PC to your phone's IP. You can play right next to each other if one of you is on the home IP and the other on a smartphone's IP. Not sure if this is frowned upon by the server staff.. but just don't box and I don't really see a problem.
