How did people log in so quickly?

I logged in at 6 am yesterday morning. Had to wait in queue. Some people got in quick and purchased all the large plots. How did these people get in so quick

I believe they fished by spamming the server button and therefore not having to exit out of the launcher. But most of the ones who got in fast might as well have a really fast connection. :/

I clicked in the second the server launched, but since i hail from Balmung-hell i was nr. 1750 in queue, so by the time i got in everything was gone on the entire server.

I read a comment yesterday that suggested doing that, so that’s what I did. I also read that PS4 users were basically screwed so I didn’t even have hope. When I logged in I was 114 in queue and barely managed to buy plot 8 for my FC, 2 other players came up to my plot about 10-15 seconds after I relocated my FC. It was close and I got very lucky.

well, as for the login I just got lucky I guess...

As for the actual ingame loading, I logued out in ruby sea, near the kugane entrace knowing everyone will be in the ferry skipper NPC so my game can load faster. So all I have to do is to go to one loading screen to kugane. It is worse? no its not because the game prioritize logued players over logging players to enter an area, so I got into kugane in no time, got into the ferry skippe, choose m ward and bought the house.

I'm on PS4 and logged in by 5:59, predownload the patch and was already to login. Had a que of 101 on sargtanas, starting from regalr reach to kugane, to housing.

If there was a queue, then that means there were people ahead of you in the queue. The people first in the queue got in first and were able to purchase plots before they ran out.
As to how they ended up first in the queue - partly luck, and partly by logging in a few seconds ahead of others.

Combination of luck, good fibre internet, geography and what I personally did.....load my game on to a RamDisk. I cannot really control the luck or geography but I made sure my fiber internet was set up and my Ramdisk + a 5.2ghz CPU would outload even people with SSDs.

They logged in a moment sooner and they didn't get kicked out again (what happened to some people i know).

I had a small house in the lavender beds and I wasn't even planning on getting housing in Shirogane, but I am on at the time server opens anyway, so after clicking too fast to get into my server and having to relog again, I then got 450 in que, I then ported over to the housing zone (logged off at my house in lavender beds), saw that district 6 still had a few lots open, and snagged plot 2. If I was still on Gilgamesh I wouldn't of gotten any plots, so happy to be on a medium sized server. I love my new cottage :)

Someone had to be first in the queue
