This statement is quite irksome. Simply because it’s obvious you don’t really care about the fact that many other players are still sitting in 3,000 to 4,000+ queues, and have been for hours since last Friday. You aren’t the only player of this game, so please try to have a bit more empathy than what this statement implies.

I spent over 3 hours today in a queue. I 2002’d 13 times during that. One of my friends was stuck in queue for 2-3 hours every day this past weekend. Two more have been in 6,000+ queues the last two days. One just gave up Saturday afternoon because they kept crashing and the queue kept getting longer. I had better luck getting in super early East Coast time, but Sunday I logged in at 9am and was in a queue for 2 hours. If you are trying to log into the game any time during Prime Time hours, then you might as well give up unless you can stay up all night to play. For people who work 9-to-5 jobs, that isn’t feasible.

I don’t normally mind queuing. Did it for 2 expansions so far. But the issues arise with the constant 2002 errors that you practically need to babysit the game for. It’s not as if you can get up and do other stuff around the house with the current situation. You need to relaunch as soon as possible to hopefully not be further back in the line than you were previously. And that’s a problem. SB and ShB launches didn’t have the issue with 2002s. And yeah, you can argue the game grew since then—but it’s still a very poor argument to try and excuse the current state of things.

Explanation provided or not, this is by far the worse expansion launch in terms of the amount of errors players have dealt with. Even SB with its instanced servers issue was still better since at least you could get into the game without all the lobby server errors even if you did have to wait in a queue. These issues always happen around launches, so it’s to be expected to have some wait times—but this is insane. All I can hope is that, when hardware is more readily available, they look into upgrading the lobby servers to handle this better. Because if the game continues to grow, then it will only get worse.
