It usually takes about one week, but sometimes they (illarion staff) lose your account application. So try messaging one of the GMs.

Concerning your name, I doubt it will be rejected as your name does not break any name rules. In any case, if it is rejected I would be most surprised.

they don't send you an email saying your name was rejected, you will receive the questions if your name was accepted.

Elaralith, please consider what you said as wrong.

1st: We dont "lose" request.
But several mail provider filter our responses as Spam.

2nd: Please do not send us eMails asking how long it takes.
This will only slow everything more down.

Hmmm...I'm sorry if I gave wrong information, but I just stated what I have GMs have written in the past. And unless my eyes have undergone some malfunction :wink:...I don't think I read wrong. But since you now say that requests are never lost I won't say this anymore.

And I was suggesting to Soldevi that if if months passed and she still got no response that a recourse might be to PM not e-mail one of the GMs. Sorry if my meaning was not clear...I have also read GMs saying to PM them. If this has also changed don't hesitate to tell me!

In any case, my intention was only to help and again my apologies if I did more harm than good :oops:!

This is for you Keikan just to prove my point. I have also seen this written in the past. So maybe you need to consider now.

This is in case a Character addition is taking to long.

This is NOT about the application itself.
Stop confusing the Players!

Oh fine if you want to be so specific I will find a GM post that says to PM them in case the account application is taking too long.

In case there are technical difficulties, we may sometimes ask for the charactername and the eMail.
But we are no Informations bureau for everyone.


I suggest you, Elaralith, to stop posting here unless you dont have problems/questions concering your own account.

Ok, the best information i found was 1-3 weeks at the longest for name acceptance, so if i dont get an email by then i will just resubmit a new one.

Thanks everyone for your help

We have difficulties to send you eMails.
They return undelivered to us.

Please reapply from a different provider.
