Can anyone please tell me if... (1017, login queues)

[AlexSkylark]

As a followup to the newspost...
They limited logins and character creation because the duty/instance cluster couldn't handle all the people.
It was a temporary measure.
Real queues and AFK kick may come in addition to that if the expanded clusters are not enough to deal with it, but for most existing worlds there shouldn't be problems after this.

Well OK, that means they are limiting LOGINS... but not why they are not putting us in a QUEUE. WHY they're not putting us in a queue and whether this will be done after maintenance today is the real answer I'm looking for...

They've most likely been too busy with server program changes in order to facilitate what this maintenance is about...
This could mean that they have put in some work into real queues too, but it remains to be seen if they're actually needed after the maintenance.

Queues are always needed in MMOs, there will always be those high-pop servers which are dripping people by the sides in peak hours. Worlds like Behemoth and Gilgamesh will need a queue no matter how much they increase server capacity. The other ones not so much though...

Their lack of transparency concerning their server updates is disturbing. I've found no hard evidence as to what their patch is going to involve.

Yes, it is

To resolve this issue, we will be performing maintenance from September 3, 2013, at 5:00 p.m. to September 4, 2013, at 3:00 a.m (PDT), for the purpose of increasing the number of available Worlds, reducing stress on the Duty Finder servers, and increasing the number of concurrent logins allowed for each server.
