im the wife in question. seriously weeks??? i know this is a free "service" and all, but... wow. do the GMs/mods just never play anymore? i know you dont like boxing and can understand that but this restriction is going to drive us to another server. we want to play together and this "rule" is pretty stupid IMO, especially when it takes "weeks" to get addressed. i could see 24-48hrs... maybe. m22 is going to be very disappointed that we cant spend the time doing stuff together.

We have several Guides responding to petitions every day (in game and on the forums). IP exemptions are usually done in batches, which is why they can take anywhere from a few days to weeks. There are currently 75 IP exemption requests in the que, the Oldest from 2/16. A fraction of what it was a few months ago.

Posts like this devalue the work and dedication provided by the staff here. If you don't like the rules, or how things operate here, feel free to play somewhere else.

Thank you Cylock, Lirin, Menden, and Ellyss for doing gods work. You don't hear it enough.

how long do the devs usually take to remove IP restrictions? im trying to get my wife into the game as a fun thing for us to do after our kid hits the sack. we both have requested they lift the restriction b/c we are not boxing there are 2 pc's and 2 people playing and i have heard NADA back. was wondering if anyone else knows how long it generally takes. is it even worth my time to ask? kinda frustrated that we have to choose who gets to play EQ and who gets to surf the internet.

There is three things you should do in order to successfully get your exemption.

1. Do not bump the request.
2. Do not make any more threads like this.
3. Do not use any VPN service to get both online.

I know it's frustrating and it can take a long time. Weeks, even. Our current information suggests that they get done in batches. When enough requests are made, they clean them out. There is no way of telling how long this will take.

For your and your wifes sake, just be patient and resist the urge to say anything about it on the forums. People have been denied and knocked back in the queue for such things.

Our IP Exemption took 5 weeks. We simply leveled solo from level one, one at a time. No biggie.
