Currently, applications and interviews are coming in faster than the GP team can handle them. Now, you may say something along the lines of "Get more GP's then", and that's what a lot of people say. The problem is that the role of a GP is very specialized and needs a certain type of person to fill it. Yes, I could just have any random people doing applications and interviews, but they would then be getting done in a way that makes more people fail, and the wrong kind of people being accepted.
Now, with the current GP team, they're working very hard to try to keep up with everything, but they do have an actual life and have other things to be focusing on a lot of the time. When they have free time, they enjoy playing the game as much as you all do. When ingame, they're less likely to respond to messages, but you can be assured that they have received and read the message.
The best times for an interview are between 6-8PM, but can be done at any time depending on GP's. If you're in the channel between 6-8pm and not getting an interview at that time, then yes there's a problem. I can say that since the application system was fixed a while ago, we've been backed up with applications and interviews, which is why they've taken longer than usual to get done.
At this time, there's not much that can be done about wait times, until we have a higher population of medics and have a larger team to handle the applications and interviews. Once the influx from the application system being fixed has passed, however... we should be able to get you an interview between 6-8pm with no problems.
Thanks,
