Dude, relax. Your IP exemption will come. As lyra stated above, they do them in batches roughly every week or so. If its only been less than a day you need to chill, lol. Sending the gm's pms, petitions, and generally spamming them trying to get your exemption i can almost guarantee they will purposefully take longer to do yours. I'm fairly certain that it says all over the place to be patient, post your exemption, and then not bug the devs about it constantly.

That being said, the whole two boxers getting cracked down on thing is (i believe) a myth. You're not going to get banned because sirken sent you a tell and you didn't reply right away. To some people it may look that way, but in reality, whenever a GM is checking on a two-boxer, he sits invis next to the person in question and watches them. I'm unsure of how long they do this for, but I know its a fair amount of time. Gm's arent interested in banning innocent people, and it is in fact their policy to ban less and accidentally get innocent people less, instead of ban more an get innocents more. If you're playing legit with two real people instead of two-boxing and claiming its a wife/friend/brother, you will be fine. I very much doubt anyone's ever been banned for 'not responding to a tell within 60 seconds', that's just not the way it works.

Lastly, like i said, be patient. I apologize if i sounded rude before, I didn't mean to, just realize that the gm's are all volunteers, and they let everyone play on this server 100% free without requesting anything at all. Its not even free-to-play, its just free, and the gm's get paid $0. There's a LOT to do on a 1000+ population server, and thats why things often take time to do. Your petition will get processed, i promise. Just remember, don't two-box! Even if you just decide to hop on your wife's character to drop a buff or two, dont do it! thats when you'll get busted and your wife will be *pissed* that you got her character banned.

Be patient, and I hope you an your wife enjoy p99!!

Gotrocks, it was nice to hear your post. I have been reading so many negative issues regarding this topic that it has made be concerned. Hearing this positivity makes me hopeful.

Biaxil, so you do not feel alone, I have been patiently waiting since Sunday for my petition to clear. I feel the same anxiousness as you, but I have to consciously temper it. Remember, this tiny delay will comparatively be a drop in the bucket vs the amount required to reach our 60th season.

In any case, I am optimistic the staff are working extra hard to clear us for this holiday weekend. But I am also prepared mentally/emotionally if they are not able to do so. Enjoy your weekend either way and I look forward to grouping with you soon.
