But yesterday, for instance, on the EU server at their evening, the queues were up in a 4-digit area which caused a lot of players to wait for over 30 minutes to get logged in. There were also issues that the server wouldn't read character data properly and made renaming/fantasia use difficult.

While the rush of new players did affect the queue, it's mostly that quite a few players remain logged in the game, afk, and clog up the servers for others, who want to play the content or with friends.
I think there were actual technical difficulties that weren't just because of server load?

Like the huge queues weren't because it wasn't able to handle everyone logging in or playing, it was that people were getting stuck in queue and it was just building.
