My story was just accepted on wednesday and i was wondering, how long have all those who've just recently been accepted have to wait? :)

Why does it take so long to get all this done? Shouldn't they have a better system going by now?

I still wan't an answer to my question.

We gave the answer several times before. If you are really interested you should have read it already.
But here once again and only for you
Because all GM make this work in their free time we can't say it takes five days, seven days or a month.
Sometimes your account is accepted fast and sometimes it takes a longer time.
But be sure, we all do our best.

When they accept your story why can't they have a system that automatically allows u to play right away?

Because it does not work this way.
God didnt gave me the ability I need to be faster, blame him.

THey could make a program for all the account to speed up the process, which could automaticallyl accept you once your story has been accepted.

Because the system is all done by real people. Would you like to spend all your time reading storys and checking names and not get paid for doing it? The people who read the emails and the people who make your character be able to log in have their own life and they do this because they want to help the illarion comunity and maybe even for fun, but its people complaining that takes away the fun for them.

I"m trying to make a sugestion here. The fact that it takes such a long time discourages new people from joining.

Discourages young people from.... whatever. Oh boy, what are you talking about?

I tell you a secret: There is no game on the other side behind the request. To get the account is the quest itself, so relax, enjoy the time you do not have to be ingame.

I think the wait is useful since, we dont want impatient people playing illarion. i think the wait is a good test.

It could be but, i don't think we should have to wait after the final acceptance. and besides this isn't what my topic was all about.

How about some people answering the origional question. All i want to know is how fast things are going now.

Kizad your original question has already been answered.


Grant, please check how my name is spelled, you can see it at the left side of this (and all my other) posts.

Maybe a little note, placed next to your monitor, will prevent such mistakes in the future.

Kizad...Look, the accounts are added after every few weeks or so.
That means they are done in large batches.
They are accepted, but then they add them to the game in groups, get it?
That is why we suddenly get large batches of 47***,48*** and 49*** character all wandering about at the same time.
It is easier this way, rather than adding one, and adding another 30 minutes later.
Whatever you may think, it IS efficient. We prefer the accounts are handled with the care, precision and evaluation that only a human can give. A computer can not judge a person's roleplay.

3 GMs are talking to you, telling you, that it does not work this way.

Even Rynt told you the reason.

What else do you need?

Should i open the heaven and let my mighty voice hit your ear,
telling you "It does not work this way!"

If they can creat a whole game then i think the people who made this can make somthing to automatically accept you once your story is accepted. THat is all i'm saying. It is posible.

From reading other topics, I know that you belive in "facts" that are simply untrue.

I am saying it is impossible at the moment.
Thats the truth, the one and only truth.

Keikan Hiru, this is not another topic (which by the way you should read the whole thing before you have anything to say about) I don't know how you became a GM with the intellegence and maturity of a five year old. When i asked this question i wanted an intellegent answer, so i obviously didn't want a response from you.
