I am just now able to log in to the game after trying for the past 6 hours. Unfortunately, it is too late for me to play now. You REALLY need to do something to either implement a queue system or an overflow system or something to give people access. I don't want to play on a Japanese server -- I want to play on my original character with my guild mates.
I know this isn't new information, but it helps me deal with my stress to expressed my displeasure.
