About as long as it takes for the hype to die down, and the rush to get on to settle.

People will get back into a more casual play schedule, and the Que's will settle. About a month or two.

I know...

We've been there before....

Every. Single. Xpac. Since. Launch.

And every time, people rage, rant, get angry. Then they forget.

I was in the FFXIV Discord channel before Endwalker Launch and explained this would happen and that there was often 2 to 3 hr ques at launch, someone said in reply "I call BS on this happening, I don't think you waited that long."

We did

We are.

Every time.

Just how Squenix runs things server side. I'm fairly sure they just don't have a solution they deem affordable, or possible.
