I hope I'm posting this in the appropriate area?

I signed up 3 or 4 days ago for a new virus through the VIP page but still haven't received my virus notice. I wondered, if it's just incredibly backed-up or if I should have had an alert by now?

This is my first Survival so everything has been a question for me :) Thank you to anyone who might be able to help me with this concern <3

; i believe it takes the standard amount of time for it to actually kick in as it would for the past events. i think mine was almost a week before it was fully developed? after all, each disease has 8 stages of progression. [edit]also, it could be appearing now you just can't see it past all of your clothing. they start small, after all.

Signing up for an old virus and not recieving any bites will take you 3+ days to get infected. I saw someone say 3-6 but it just depends on the queue. It's hard for a user to tell how backed up the queue is though. Try to find bites, that is your best bet

They aren't infected yet, you can tell by the "bite" under their HA. They need to get bitten to speed it up

; i didn't even think to look at that to suggest getting bitten. tbh i forget that's even there lol

, Thank you for your response. Not infected yet...which is good...I'm afraid of catching something other than the virus I signed up for lol

, ok this makes sense...I appreciate the answer! I've avoided the boards because I don't want other zombie strains nibbling on me lol

; only the strain you desire is the one that can bite you. that much i do know haha

Yeah like said, only people with the virus you want can bite you :)

Haha :p It's tough cuz this event has quite a few different things going on. The faqs thread was definitely a good addition this year.

and Thank you both for the help...I appreciate the quick responses :)
