That's some BULL.

If that's the case, then that does indeed seem pretty dumb. I don't know enough about the tech to know if it's just an oversight, or some kind of difficulty building the system in the first place that would cause that particular behavior. Regardless, I hope they're able to identify & fix whatever's causing people to lose their spot.

Today, I knew queues would be bad when I got home from work. First thing I did was log into the queue, over 5000 people long. I got four 2002 errors, but I held my place in line. 2 hours and 15 minutes later, my queue hit 1. Then I got a 4004 error. When I logged back in I was 4,800 in line. I won't get to play tonight.
