Currently, I have a character that has lots of spare IP, but none of it can be used. Raising a skill works normally, except after clicking accept, the skill is unchanged and the IP hasn't been spent. Doesn't matter if I rezone, save the char, get more xp and try again, relog, etc. etc.. Basically, the character has been IP-blocked and can't raise skills anymore.
Also, my petitions have been ignored on this and I'm not the only one with IP allocation problems. One friend lost 40K IP. He went to try and use some of his spare IP and voila, it's all gone. Another lost 12K IP. GMs did respond to these and I witnessed one response, which was basically, "sorry, nothing I can do, live with it". Frankly, I don't even know why Funcom has GMs. I've had maybe 3 or 4 responses out of countless petitions and the only thing the GM ever does when one does show up is say, "I'm sorry, I can't help you".
This IP bug ammounts to character destruction and really needs to be addressed absolutely immediately. We need to hear a response in this thread stating a date for resolution and we need to have the resolution in game.
