A lot of people want to play with spouses or roommates but have to wait in the endless black hole of waiting for an ip exemption. Speeding those up would increase player populations... I've been waiting since the 16th of Feb. and in the meantime I've leveled 1-52 on a live server out of boredom.. I find myself losing interest in p99.. /sadface

I put in for an IP exemption on the 19th and it was resolved within 6 hours-- you may have done something wrong.

Support on p99 is excellent in my experience... there are some legitimate complaints about the server but I do not believe this is one of them, especially considering they do it for free.

But you're right, speedy exemptions probably help the pop a bit.

They are generally done in batches, so you probably lucked out with the timing for how quickly yours was handled.

I've been waiting on mine for about a week and a half now, my wife and I played before we got married and lived together but now she can never get on [You must be logged in to view images.

You are doing something very wrong. My son and I got one in 3 hours like a month ago.

Here is another thing that would help new players. Fix the damn pathing. Cazel never stood on the docks for 20 mins and I don't recall reds just walking through the middle of lvl 10 camps. wtf

They do the IP exemptions in batches. The only reason I even suspected the person did something wrong was because I put my request in after he did, and I thought I remembered reading they go through them and do the batches chronologically, but maybe not. Figured maybe he should check and make sure he included account names, I dunno.

If it has been weeks it probably just means they haven't done another batch yet. From what I'm reading it seems as though they are doing them quicker, I used to see people waiting months more commonly.
