Average Waiting Time for New Characters

[John]

I thought it might help people to post how often they (on average) have to wait for their character to be approved. I frequently die (I now average 1 RL week! There are exceptions of course in both directions) and I'm an off peak player.

My last character approval was 1.5 hours. It wasn't in the middle of off-peak time. But it was definitely not during on peak.

Character before that was 1 hour and 17 minutes. This was in the dead of off-peak time.

I'd be surprised if anyone has to wait 12 hours these days, let alone 24

What do other people find is the average approval time for them?

One of my special apps took almost four months to get approved. Another special app took a couple of days. Averaging isn't going to be very useful for my accounts.

The typical "low" for my regular apps is a few hours. The typical "high" is "I submit just before going to bed, and it's approved at some point between then and the next morning when I get up."

Usually the longest I wait is 4 to 6 hours.  Most fall in the 1-3 hour range.

Staff have been serious asskickers lately on apps and requests!

I've stored, made a special app, and had it accepted in like...three hours before I think?
It might have been for skill bumps but still.

"actual" special apps are generally 2 weeks to a month.

extended subs are usually a week

normal apps are like an hour to two at the most.
