Queues time to log in are getting worse over the days.

If the population shrinks, they don't want to be stuck with empty or dead servers. Closing or merging servers is not easy - especially not with housing working the way it does.

Some sort of mega-server technology where people appear to all play on a single server even when it is multiple servers underneath would be nice, but adding that to a game retroactively is a HUGE job, with plenty of potential for introducing new bugs.

Not as easy as you think right now to add for the same reason PS5's and video cards are rare, semi-conductor shortage. This of course also effects adding dev's if they would need to get equipment for them with the shortages, something I know to well for expanding a team where we were limited also by cost of needed equipment for new people.

Ah, without the AFK'r the queue is drastically low.
Thank SE for that !

I survived WoW launch with HOURS long queue times, so the complaints here are cute. Real cute.

I know right? Im used to servers being down for hours or days, and remotely logging in to my computer from work to join the queue so I can (Hopefully) log in by the time I get home. This is nothing!

In the Chaos world group here. Unfortunately the afk action isn't doing the trick here. World transfer times are basically still stuck (8:30pm local time of writing).

But, we will soldier through it. Much (and several much's later) rather have this type of problem than dead servers in a deserted game.
Keep up the good work Yoshi and Co. Looking forward to 6.0 :-)

I'm in chaos as well (Cerberus EU) and queue goes from 750 to 102. I compared last night and now at the same hour. So it's way better.
But I didn't check for World Transfer.

I've been stuck in the queue for the World Transfer for over 4 hours now, I've crashed twice and had to start all over again. Something urgently needs to be done.

Whatever they did made log in queues better, but world transfer is now way worse. I’ve been stuck on another server for nearly an hour now.

Yoshi himself addressed the issue and they are increasing server capacity ASAP.

Looks like I was right instead of the "professional programmer" touting BS in this thread about how hard and expensive it is. It's not for a company the size of SE.

Wow 1300 thats rough. The most i have had was 36.
