We're not at Stormblood levels of bad launch yet. So stay patient. I'm annoyed too but not much we can do.

Not only we have only 2 data centers, but also less worlds per data center. EU servers are being overloaded with players while other data centers have a better spread ratio. In EU you would get queues (although not long ones) even a couple months before expansion, when there was content drought and people with not much to do, and even after midnight.
You obviously dont play on US servers if you think that US servers are only seeing a few hundred at worst. Last night I was at 4800 on guess what? A US server. today it was 2700. You have a majority of streamers on EU and as such you have a TON of people who followed those streamers as well. Relax and take a chill pill, if ya get the server disconnect error you can quickly log back in and get your spot back. This is day one and by day 7 most of this will be a distant memory
Why are there only two Sharlyan instances, and only enough peopel to create a single Garlemald instance?
Even Tavnair only has enough people to create two instances online.
Clearly the servers "being congested" isn't the problem, SE intentionally lowered the concurrent player cap significantly when compared with Shadowbringers - likely because there's a single Loginserver per data center, which may have been ok for a 2004 MMORPG, definitely not for a 2021 MMORPG.
They admitted the issue months ago about overcrowding. Just wish they would have prioritized that before releasing an expansion that would obviously have made it worse.
Yep, i was down to 1, 2002 error, back in 10 secs and 6504 in queue. This is certainly frustrating to anyone it happens to. The thing is, they knew exactly how many copies were pre-ordered so there should not be any surprise as to the demand that would be coming today.
