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.

Pretty much. I couldn't stop laughing.

Most of the time when anyone suggests anything in this game, someone seizes the opportunity to grandstand their favorite "I wish I had". It's transparent and obvious.

Be the change you want. I doodle around on my druid and get mid level gear drops all the time, they go on my mule, and if I find anyone who is a decent person, I log over and clear some space out of the old mule bank. Who above level 50 wants to spend 2 hours selling lowbie gear worth 200p total anyway?

Another policy that I think is worth advising is if you see some level one desperately trying to sell some junk like fire beetle eyes or gnoll droppings, buy it. Sell it to a merchant later or whatever. It will involve more people in the EC economy in the long run, and it will make people want to stick around if they feel they are not spinning their wheels in cloth armor and rusty weapons at level 15.

When I get weird drops like scarab carapaces that have quests, I do them. The reward is trash, but it is something different to do and check out, and some newbie will feel really happy getting them. This is not a commercial for,by, and about me, but it is some thoughts on what you guys can do when crafting gets old and you are cap anyway and bored with buffing newbies.

If you want more players, tell people about it. Most of the players of MMOs like this are college aged, so go post some bills around the school on the bulletin boards. Do it anonymously if you are shy about being a gamer geek.

Mine only took 3 days because I had to post mine and my bro's logins. Make sure to follow up on your req, if they asked something give the right info, afaik you're not told if your exemption is declined, not sure though

Stop asking for non-classic things on a server that is striving for 100% classic experience NO EXCEPTIONS

it's not the accuracy, its the having to make a hotkey for it and hit said hotkey every time you want to gain/maintain your heading. I'd rather just look at a real-time compass :P

NOT CLASSIC MUST SUCK HARDER
