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.
