The server is full, try again later (1017)

How the queue and how it's working was already explained. Several times. There is in fact a queue. SE has stated they have severe restrictions in place. This means that if they restricted the server to 1000 players (random number), and if there are already 995 players online, and you are 25th in queue, the first 5 players will get in and the manual limitations will kick all the rest from the queue. When the server opens up slots individuals will be able to see the queue system again as the process repeats until SE decides to stop throttling.

They are throttling to test server capacity and load; which imo should have been done in Beta P4.

But that's not right either. Once you are in the Queue... you should stay in that queue until you back out of it. What appears to be happening now is people are just getting bounced from queue just before logging in, or they are geting flat out rejected all together.

Ideally when using a login queue, there should not be a Full Server rejection message unless you are trying to create a new character on that server---not when trying to log in with an established character.

I've been trying for an hour now. I got into the queue, then got booted from it. Not, I get the same 1017 error and it boots me right back to the lobby. SE should really just log off all the people who are AFK in the game so that those of us who are trying to play, can.
