Does Nobody Check the IP Exemptions Anymore?

[zacknado]

I..dont feel comfortable asking them that, sorry. They dont know I'm waiting on approval, I asked questions and gathered info. Didn't hit them with my disappointment, or facts about how Im waiting on approval, was happy for them actually. Guilty until proven innocent I suppose, not gonna do that to people

So instead of easily getting definitive proof that the guides here pick and choose which people to give exemptions to, you'll instead spread your views about a conspiracy in which the guides do not give exemptions to anyone who mentions "kids" in their exemption request.

Sounds perfectly logical to me. Carry on.

They dont respond...kinda the point. Only left with facts gathered. Cant do much else. I can only hope they start paying attention when someone lights a damn fire about it. Might as well start one

lol Good luck with that. They wont come running cause there is a fire(which there isnt anyway). They will get done when they get done. People dont like it they can try other servers or use the 2 other means of playing with multiple people(VPN, Mobile hotspot). Server isnt going to die if 20 people cant play with their kids or parents or wives and people that run the server have real lives and real jobs that comes first.

As I said, you could easily confirm your suspicions by getting proof. Any guildmate would probably be happy to help you prove your theory correct.

You haven't posted any facts, just speculation. I think your theory is very far fetched. My request for example mentions no kids, just the age of my friend and I (30s). By your logic we would have been approved by now.

all you've REALLY done is gotten me to stop posting about it. The info about no kids on your request changes my argument , so i have to stop. It was my whole point and its been crushed lol. Its not about kids.....its all of us

sorry [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] kinda feel like a dunce now. It REALLY felt real.....like the other people in my guild were playing together with their spouses, and my kid constantly asks me if we are approved. Crazy stuff....really crazy, like makes you INSANE type stuff

I don't want to indulge crazy speculation about mysterious and nonsensical spawnings of IP exemptions. It reminds me of some old EQ myths and the fervor with which they were sometimes regarded[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I also don't want to be responsible for contributing to the headache of any of the volunteer staff working on this very cool project. So, I will offer only this limited information:

1) In 2014 an exemption for my wife and I took less than twelve hours to action.

<We played briefly then uninstalled and took a long break>

2) We just received an IP exemption which we requested a little less than three months ago. I never bumped the request, as per instructions and common knowledge on these forums.

P1999 staff are definitely still managing exemptions.


My opinion

I had assumed (wrongly I think now) that we had been given an earlier exemption already and so were not a priority, which I thought was fair. I believe the staff member handling my exemption this time was relatively much more senior than the staff member who handled our first exemption. This is just an assumption from reading these forums. General perusal of p1999's recent events leads me to believe they are currently understaffed and some things will take more time.

For me, this is a great project. What I like most is that it attempts to capture what I personally think is by far the most charming content of not only Everquest, but of MMOG's altogether and maintain it for future interest. I think the project takes a very long term view. I try to keep this in mind during our stay here.
