Just a question on IP exemption.

[Subidoo]

So my girlfriend has decided she wanted to switch from WoW to project 1999. I signed up for a IP exemption maybe 4 days ago, anyone know how long they can usually take? 😊

[Thermite]

It up to when GM's get around it honestly man could be a couple days could be a couple weeks..

[Subidoo]

Yea it shows like 10 views, just no response yet. I'll just have to be patient I guess. lol

I'm patient but the woman isn't 😂😂

[Tupakk]

They should really update the words on the ip exemption form. General wait time is 2-3 weeks.

The views are prolly from you looking at it being impatient.

even if I don't click on the post it'll show me as viewing?

4 years ago, exemptions took up to 2 months.

I have a feeling a "I'm mad because I got caught boxxing" thread is in OPs future

[Doctor Jeff]

There are both GMs and Guides, only GMs can approve exemptions, but Guides can and often do click on every single petition. If the views aren't from you refreshing the page, they are almost certainly from guides clicking on it while looking through the queue.
When the title is edited, you will know that someone actually did something related to the request, but that could just be forwarding it to the right person who then won't look at it for another two weeks.

[Subidoo]

Ah, nah I don't care to do boxxing. Just that she wants to play anfor sometimes we might overlap our game playing times. Thanks everyone

[Llurendt]

Yeah... they seem to be taking a while on my petition for my wife and I to play together as well... multi-boxers really are annoying for multiple reasons. :/ Oh well, I guess we'll try and find something else to play together until it goes through... we WERE playing on Nostalrius and having a lot of fun until Blizzard decided they knew what their fans wanted.

[Subidoo]

Yea i was disappointed to see blizzard pull down the vanilla servers.

How long ago did you submit your petition?

[Llurendt]

Just shy of 10 days ago.

[Subidoo]

Oh not terribly long still, but still sucky. Lol

[Swish]

If they were done daily I bet that "temptation" would grip more players.

[Llurendt]

It's not like it's hard to add an ip to a ban list once anything has been proven. *shrug* Sure, it takes the 20 minutes or so of following someone as an invisible GM to determine whether they're boxxing, but it's certainly not THAT difficult or time-consuming.

I don't mind waiting, though... there are plenty of games to play in the meantime. :)

[Subidoo]

That is wise and true. She's taking the time by looking over guides and farm spots, ect.

[leftharted]

I had gotten mine quite quick; but that very well could have just been pure luck. I think I got it within about 5 days.

That being said, I don't even use it... applied for it a few years ago when I first found p99 so that my roommate at the time could get into EQ with me. Both of us fizzled out back then (had too much RL stuff going on, really..). Since then he's moved out and is now playing on his own IP.. and now im slowly trying to convince the Wife to play EQ with me... she lived with me back when I applied too; and I briefly mentioned the notion of her wanting to play as well in my application, but she never took to it. I played back in classic; EQ is new to her.. She cant see past the graphics. now with luclin models out of the picture, im hard pressed to get her to even try. 8/

I just rekindled my EQ flame recently; hoping that once she see my continued devotion that she'll make another attempt soon.... but unlikely... till then ill have to grind improving my Wife faction. Currently teetering around Dubious. I know she would love it once she leveled through the painful Teens; but that initial grind (especially with no gear) can be tough, and gloomy. I cant get her past that..

Swish is right tho, IMO. if it was done too quickly, there would probably be a lot of abuse; and I assume that would get hard to police. By being careful its probably easier to monitor the approvals; and then weed out the 'bad apples'.

and considering this server is Free; I appreciate the fact that this is policed at All; personally. Hell, id honestly pay a monthly sub for this server if it for whatever reason required one... and id pay two subs if I could ever actually convince the wife to try p99...

One Day..... one day...

If you already got the GF to love and accept EQ-p99 for what it is; you've got the hard part done already; IMO. itll be worth the wait. =)

[MteniPheet]

Yea I've been waiting since I requested an exemption 4/05 so not too long. Do they respond eventually? Was told never to add to your post, it will only delay it further ? Was just hoping to play with my brother who moved in. Since we both played EQ in the old days.

[Subidoo]

Yea she loves her world of Warcraft, but has been watching me play on P99, and it interested in playing. Good thing about me leveling first is that I can help with some gear and spells.Told her to be a enchanter so she can give my shammy Clarity when we duo, lol.

[MteniPheet]

Yup, I started a cleric to play with his warrior. Stopped leveling cleric for now until we can play. Figured I'd level a chanter to help until we can play since he's not much interested unless we play together.

haha, yea; im hoping to do the same with gear/spells. Im not pushing her too hard right now; just trying to keep her slight interest peaked. Then, much later when I can do some basic gearing and get her through the lowbie levels, I may have a chance at keeping her interested. =)

[Subidoo]

These lower levels are brutal. Lol

[quido]

6.5 years ago you could PM Nilbog and he'd process your exemption nearly immediately.

[Subidoo]

Lol, if only. She's just antsy cause she likes to play MMORPG's together. So she sits back and asks like a million questions, lol.

[Swish]

nag nag nag lol

[leftharted]

hahaha; I know that feeling too!

i spent a solid 45min trying to defend the importance of Sense Heading.

even though she doesn't play EQ; now whenever im directionally challenged in RL she blurbs "guess your stupid sense heading isn't high enough..." to which i reply "MMMRRRWHHHAAAGGGGHHHRRRPHH!"

[Subidoo]

Hahaha, she wanted tone know why I get asked for something called Saul. I kept telling her no one is asking for Saul, so she got mad and pointed on day to the word SoW.I laughed, I said spirit of wolf, she said why can't everyone cast it, like in wow. I told her she's too spoiled by Blizzard, lol.

[Zorlon]

I just recently ported over to p99 after some nudging from a couple RL friends.

A drunken p99 LAN party is inevitable at some point this summer.

What would be the best route to make sure we can get like 2-3 IP exemptions (even if just temporary, like say for 1 weekend) in a timely matter?

What I mean is, it isn't realistic for us to "plan" our night of being manchildren very far in advance, but would also kinda suck if some time in the middle of the week we decide "Hey, this weekend none of us have shit to do, let's do this!" but find out it might take several weeks to set up.

Or how does the IP exemption thing work? Does it actually _block_ additional connections, or would this be something that we just set up and start playing and legitimize what we're doing with a GM when one shows up?

[Llurendt]

My gf/wifey (may as well be married, haha) also just wants to play whatever together and is more than willing to try EQ for me. :D We're currently playing RIFT and I can't get past how quickly everything speeds by... not bothering to read anything since it really doesn't matter, lol.

But yes, I'm one of the lucky ones. ^.^

[Subidoo]

Most MMORPG's do speed by, this one. Not even close, lol. Can actually enjoy it :)

Got to get it approved through the forum otherwise they ban that IP and account i believe. Ive been waiting just over a week for mine.

[Llurendt]

Additional connections from an IP are automatically blocked

[FaulderKd]

Anyone had any luck getting an IP Exemption approved within the past month? Mine has been sitting for a bit over a month now.

[MteniPheet]

Not I...guessing it's just not gonna happen anytime soon... :( I applied for one a month ago too.

[Llurendt]

Ew. Sorry to hear that... Hopefully they're charging through em... I saw a post a week or two ago from an admin that said they were doing petitions instead of something else, so they'll probably get ours done eventually!

[Swish]

Not us...guessing it's just not gonna happen anytime soon... :( We applied for one a month ago too.

Fixed ^^

Shit like this makes me realize that I've once again spent six years in EverQuest. Heh. At least THIS time I don't have over 300 days played on Lag...

[Lammy]

Bet she quits in 2 days

[Swish]

Bet she quits in 2 days

If so, do you do the right thing and tell them to remove the IP exemption..... or.... ?

[Subidoo]

Lol she wont quit, i let her play my char for a day. She loved it, but she didn't like being a male troll shaman.

[Subidoo]

IP exemption was granted today. Time for the GF to enjoy corpse runs and exp loss deaths. lol

[Landylil]

Woot, hopefully me and my new roommates exemption gets passed through today too. They do batches of this stuff right?

[Doctor Jeff]

Bet she quits in 2 days

This is what happened to me. She played a few times and saw me playing, got an up exemption, hen she got griefed off the server in an hour

[Llurendt]

Woot! Mine was approved too!

[leftharted]

IP exemption was granted today. Time for the GF to enjoy corpse runs and exp loss deaths. lol

Grats my friend!

[Landylil]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Still no exemption here, another week of jerkin my roommate off irl instead of in-game.

[Landylil]

No GM updated our petition, but we just accidentally logged on at the same time, roomie thought I had logged off my EC mule.

Does that mean we got approved and someone forgot to notify us, or are we at risk of ban if we play together pre post?

[Swish]

If you can both log in then its been approved....just dont screw up :p
