How long should IP exemptions take?

[Notch5507]

My son and I have put in for an IP exemption weeks ago. He will be coming home from college in 8 days, and still have got NO word from our posts.

Should we try again? Do to covid he will be not be allowed to go back to school until after the holidays (all classes moved to online)

We would love to be able to play together!
Thanks for any insight.

Leave the post be if you posted in the proper format. Bumping the posts will make the GMs miss your posts. The time it takes for IP exemptions is random.

If it comes down to it and your son is at your place and the exemption didnt work then i would suggest using a VPN until it does work. VPNs are allowed as long as you guys do not abuse it. 1 person per character.

They perform IP exemptions in batches, so you may have applied right after they finished one. Just wait for it.

Honestly, it can take a month or it can take months... There is really no way to tell.

Know that it's against the rules to box and as long as you aren't doing that, you are free to play together without worrying.

EQ takes little to no bandwidth so you could tether a phone as a hotspot, for example, which is something I do when traveling with a laptop and a 4G connection.
