Cannot get IP Exemption
This is on behalf of my father. He is trying to play with his girlfriend, submitted an IP Exemption, so that they can play from his house on 2 separate computers. The exemption request was sent 24 hours ago, and they are still not able to log on both accounts on the same IP.
How long does this take to resolve? Thanks! | ||

OMG!!! Three weeks you say? How can this be true! ANSWERS!!! All must be done for her highness is called Karen and respect is demanded!
Seriously though; this project is ran by volunteers. They're some really awesome people. The server is kept going financially by a couple of really cool guys that do this because they simply want to. So..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwUlkKfR_NI | ||

I dont think its typically 3+ weeks, I've done it several times over the years and its only ever taken a few days tops.
To be clear though, the exemptions are done by hand by staff who are volunteers and have lives outside of GM'ing this server. So if it takes a bit, that's why. | ||

Not trying to come off as a Karen. And I will donate to the project because I like it a lot.
However, the system is not allowing my dad and his gf to log on at the same time, effectively accusing them of boxing. If there is going to be a limitation like this, it seems there should be a quicker legitimate way to get on the IP exemption list. So phone tethering or VPN is the way to go? Or is that considered playing the system? | ||

NoCatharsis Don't let them get discouraged once you get the exemption you'll have it.
If you provide all the information they request it will go quicker. In the past bad eggs have abused this privilege so the staff go over the requests carefully. Just remind your dad and his gf that if both their accounts are logged in they must both be playing those separate characters. no logging in to transfer, no porting yourself, no buffing yourself, etc. P99's anti boxxing core tenants are part of what makes this server superb, every character in game is a real life person irl. And they do have an automated way to check up on people with ip exemptions. aswell as staff will from time to time check on people if they notice anything off. If there was no ip limit, people would box and not socialize outsize large raids. It would drain every zone of life.

I had to wait 9 days until i got my exemption.
So just a little bit of patience is needed.
