I have made Petitions in the past and recently moved so was forced to make another... Does anyone know how long between when you make a petition and you receive a reply? My brother and son have started to blame me because its been three weeks they cant play...Yes it is because im selfish and play myself all the time.:D In the past it normally took about 10 days this time im past 21 days.....:eek: Also i have this Issue when i log off it almost never logs out i get some error message and have to wait for a reSync to log back in....Anyone know a way to fix this? Sorry for Two questions in one post.

Couple months for the IP exemption.

if you are crashing when going to character select, disable loading screens in the .ini file and run EQ in windows xp sp 2 compatibility.

There have been many reports of delays for all staff activities, including IP Exemptions. Some part of it can probably be attributed to the Sirken drama, but I'm honestly not sure if that's the only factor.

Regardless though, can you afford another $20/month? If so, stop being a jerk to your brother/nephew ;) Go get two VPN accounts (they cost <$10/month each) and have your brother/nephew use them when they want to play P99 (or when they want to download from Bit Torrent networks ... VPNs let you do that without getting angry letters from your ISP).

Doing this is 100% legal and within the server rules IF you have a real human behind each account. If your brother/nephew are fictional, it doesn't matter whether you get an exemption or a VPN: either way you'll wind up banned. But if you are talking about real people a VPN is a simple and cheap solution that will let them play, and once the exemption does come through you can easily cancel it.

Thank you, I will look at the VPN and the rules. I have had my exception since 2014 and all accounts are always played we have verified all names and accounts and relationships. We are very proud that we always follow all rules. :) That is a shame about people crapping on the GMs who are not even paid....They have always been nice to me and mine but then again we have never given them reason not to be.;) I might drop an application in to be a guide at this point if for no other reason then to lighten the load these guys are under. :D

I pray twice a week that he gets reinstated to watch the unapologetic vengeance arc.
