When you fill the balloon up with water, you don't put the tap on full stream, you keep it slow and steady until you get to the point where you think the balloon can't handle anymore water... They're just going to slowly open up the servers to more people, they just can't do it all at once. Server load basics right there.

How the is that a serious load? The server is already handling AI, game physics, character input, updating the client with all relevant data, etc. The operation of the queue should be so minimal in comparison that it should be virtually non-existent.

Besides, if management of the queue is so intense, I would think it could just be on a separate piece of hardware if you're so worried about it impacting the gameplay of clients currently in the game and playing.

If you make an MMO, and your solution to the too many log ins problem is that you can only have a few hundred people in the queue, I think you've done something horribly, horribly wrong.

You just answered your own question. Most people don't understand how an MMO functions. You don't know what SE is doing, or how or why they're doing it, so instead of complaining on here, why not get a refund and stop playing if it's not up to your liking?

Well, luckily I could log in thanks to the queue system, However it took me a while since I kept getting 1017 messages many times before.

I'm still wondering if this issue was really solved...

I tried logging in three different times throughout the day, at peak hours and have not had any trouble logging in instantly, huge difference for me =)

Is your toon in midgard?

Logged on 3 times today, 1 of which was during primetime. Did not see a single 1017, it puts me straight into the queue.
