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.
