Getting stuck on another world

After using the world visit system today and I've been unable to get back onto my home world (Leviathan) for over 4 hours now. And I'm not the only one. There's a large group of Leviathan players sitting next to LL Aetheryte waiting to get back in. I've talked to someone who's been 1st in the queue for even longer than I have.

It seems to be that the world visit queue is a lower priority than the log in queue. Since you don't have access to all the game features during world visit, we should be able to at least wait in the same queue as those people logging in. At this point I'm going to have to wake up in the middle of the night and hope I can transfer back home then.

I'm not sure if SE knows about this or not but it really should be addressed. I would guess it will be less of an issue after the expansion hype dies off, but I don't want to lose access to my retainers until July.

EDIT: And to add insult into injury, I have to wait in the Leviathan login queue to log back into my character that's sitting in Ultros (which has no queue). :/
