Average wait time for IP Exemptions?

[Bame]

Hey guys,

A group of 4 friends and I all joined p99 a couple weeks ago. We had the brilliant idea to create the perfect team comp in our eyes (Warrior, Druid, Enchanter, Wizard, Monk). The only problem is, our Warrior and Druid are a husband and wife that live together. We read the rules, and put in an IP Exemption Request right away so they could play together, but for two weeks it's just sat there with no reply. These early levels have been difficult to progress as a team, either with no tank, or no healer, and now my friends are talking about giving up on the server due to no support on this issue because they just can't play together. We've read that it's taken 50 days(!) for some people to get IP Exemptions. Is this typical? We've also read that people don't even bother with the exemption and use VPN's, but we would rather not risk that, and want to do it the right way.

For any GMs reading this, the petition I'm talking about is for Bigsaunch and Runwhope.

I don't want to leave this server. I understand that petitions are handled by unpaid volunteers, and I appreciate all the work they do.. but it's a little concerning that a simple request can be ignored for so long, and I fear our group as a whole will lose interest soon if we can't get our core Tank and Healer on at the same time.

Since September? Holy crap. Ok, I may as well cave and tell them it's not worth waiting then. We've literally been checking multiple times a day thinking it will be completed soon.

My brother and I live together and play so we had to get an exemption... I think it happened on the same day. Been playing for almost a year now and its been a blast. I think they check through the requests like once a week and do them all at once

Well that's good news. I wish I could get a Guide/GM to reply to this thread to tell me what's up.

[brodysseus]

Give them a day or two at least. Also, try red! It's way more fun than blue

We put the request in on the 18th. So 11 days so far w/ no reply.

It is the holidays...keep that in mind.

I think my exemption and my friend's exemption took ~a day?

They are pretty active in monitoring exemptions too. I remember one day three of us were grinding away and my buddy got banned. It only lasted like 2 minutes and the GM apologized saying something made it look like him and his fiance were on the same computer so it was quickly rectified with a resurrection for the resulting death [You must be logged in to view images.

Don't bombard them but you may want to put the request in again if it has been that long.

It's xmas holidays and most likely the server guys are taking a well deserved break [You must be logged in to view images.

Agree with what everyone is saying about the holidays. When I applied for an IP exemption a couple years ago I got mine in a few days. Later on some friends of my applied and both times it was a similar window. Hang in there, but I wouldn't check more than once a day [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
