Question regarding IP exemptions.

[CroixRaoul]

I have been trying to play with my roommate. for over a week now with no response and no other way of playing together. Now if i were to log in with her and we start new characters and just start playing while the exemption is pending, that's liable to get us both banned right?

[Renad]

From what I've read in other posts, it can take 3+ months for an exemption. As for logging in without an exemption, I don't believe the server will allow you to. Have a wifi hotspot on you phone? That should work.

[Tupakk]

Until you get an exemption j would tether. IP exception are done in batches. Unless a specific case arises.

Bump

[CroixRaoul]

Nah unfortunately I dont have WiFi hotspots or anything. That's too bad. We were hoping to play sometime soon.

I spoke with a GM yesterday about it and there's apparently a huge backlog of them to go through. Other than letting me know about the no bumping thing, there wasn't a lot of information that he provided that you didn't already know.

Do you have a cell phone with a decent amount of internet data per month? You might be able to tether it to one of the computers so the both of you can play at the same time until your IP exemption goes through.

Good luck!

Use your cell phone's tethering. Most tethering services are like 20 dollars a month.

[Kaosfury]

Doh, same issue with me and the wife..... i guess she doesnt get to play LOL

[LordRayken]

Most cellphone companies allow tethering. Some do 2 gigs of data for 20 a month, others have other packages for 1 dollar a day.

If you can tether a PC with your phone, you should be fine waiting for the IP exemption by playing with that on one PC. EQ, online games, and MMOs in general use very little data to communicate with the server and EQ especially doesn't need super high speed, just average speed, so it's fine on phone.

just wait it out its a bit of a crappy wait. I was reacting the same way thought it was being ignored, so i ignored the game/thread and i got up one morning 3 weeks after putting the thread up and got the email that it had been accepted.

[Kaosfury]

Yea ill just wait it out, hehe. I mean...i get to play muahahah the wife is happy watching for now.

[tobolamr]

the wife is happy watching for now.

LOL My wife and 3 oldest children are chomping at the bit, waiting for the exemption to come through so we can group up and go hit some lowbie dungeons and zones LOL

[Kaosfury]

SAME!

The wife and i met on everquest over 15 years ago.

We have played sooooo many different games together..... recently playing albion online....every game now a days is crap. Microtransaction. Pay to win bs.

I was googleing old school daoc...looking for uthgard.... and Eq 1999 came up....i was like...wtf is this....

Omg.... im in love..... this game is absolutly the best....and the community is rocking. The bees knees dude.

Wife pulled a trump card..... if she dont play...i dont play.... and shes not talking about EQ when it comes to my aying lol.

Toooo funny...39nyears old and im skating out of work early to get home to smash some orcs in crushbone.


Train to zone.... one time in my life i would have flipped them the bird..... i heard it the other day....music to my ears....

BOAT!

ROFL

My bank is full of newbie cloth and backpacks for my fiancée. Eagerly awaiting the exemption. She's never played EQ before at all. :D

[Technotorious]

@ Kaosfury....loll sounds like me but make it 47 years old and still would take this game over anything on the market today (except for Pantheon).

[Kaosfury]

How long has everyone been waiting for the exception...im at about 12 days or so.

[Mythanor]

Waited 30 plus days, be patient.

[Jimjam]

Let her earn her own cloth! Finding pieces of cloth armor give a big sense of character progression. Being given cloth armour changes the pieces she finds on mobs from being important character upgrades to meaningless vendortrash.

Just imho.

Just make sure you don't do anything to jeopardize the fun times you'll have with your family by trying to scoot around the rules in order to play sooner. I'm not saying you would do this, but it would be very sad if you guys ended up banned because of such a thing.

They'll get to it when they can. They're done in batches as other people have said.

I have been trying to play with my roommate

Pics or your roomate is made up.

(let me guess your roomate likes to sell stuff in EC while you're playing.)

If ur desperate to play together get every samsung and iphone and hotspot some internet to her computer.
