Hello, I have also been waiting to be approved for some time. I believe I initially applied on Sunday or Monday night (EST).
Understandably you have a lot of applications to go through and I don't want to keep you from that. However I have to criticize this system (hopefully constructively) as it does not seem efficient from my perspective. I believe that players should be able to demo the server before applying, perhaps after passing the automatic test. Currently your active player numbers do not reflect the number of applications mentioned above. This give me the impression that a lot of people leave the server shortly after admission because their expectations are different. This could be resolved by letting players test the server a little to get a feeling for your community. Ultimately it would also help your application retention rate since players would only apply if they are serious about joining, not just to demo the server.
Regards,
cantina
