Tried to post this yesterday, but haven't seen it yet soo . . .

I've requested several different IP exemptions over the past few years for my wife and our sons (and second accounts for my wife and myself because we have a bit of an alt addiction). In all cases it was less than a week for it to be approved, usually within 2-3 days.

For those being alarmist about using phone tethering or a VPN to play together while waiting for your exemption to be approved, there is no need. It's not against the rules to circumvent the IP block; it is absolutely against the rules to multi-box. The IP block is only there to make it abundantly clear for those who may not read the rules that boxing is not allowed. As long as you NEVER have one RL individual logged into more than one character at a time on the same server (and can prove that to a GM at a moment's notice if you are tested), then you are all good.

This is the exact text from every IP exemption approval I've received:

Hi there, I just want to be sure we're clear on the rules here. On P99, we consider it 2 boxing if 1 person is controlling more than 1 character for *ANY* amount of time for *ANY* reason. This means no boxing to transfer items "for just a sec", moving characters, EC muling, etc. If we catch you doing these things the accounts will be subject to a perma ban. We are very strict with our 2 boxing rules here.

Your exemption has been granted. If the accounts listed haven't logged off since this post, log out completely for it to take effect.

Remember the rules: 1 client per Real Life player at any time. Deviation from this rule will result in permanent bans.

Make sure everyone thoroughly understands and follows this rule.
Enjoy the server!
