both of my chars got approved pretty fast, Tath had to be disscussed with Leanther and Ed but still got approved i think a day and a half after i submitted. usually approvers are quick with approving, or disaproving. they key though is that they are volunteering to do it, and have real lives as well as time sthey like to play too. can't be on top of everything 24/7 wich is a bumemr for new players, but it's how it is for any good rp server.
