We lost 70% of our player base half a year in

The queues exist due to dated server infrastructure. Players are handled in batches if they want to teleport to a different zone or get into the game itself. It's why there's a risk of people being locked out of a zone if there's a hunt train going on during prime time hours.

Meanwhile on JP server, there's no queue at all on morning

Meanwhile on JP server, there's no queue at all on morning

I get a queue when I log in during JP primetime, and I'm not even on one of the more populous servers in the region. JP primetime is my mornings during the week, Saturday morning through mid-afternoon, with Sunday being ok, if about half to three-quarters as many as Saturday. The only times I don't get queues are my weekday evenings which is their weekday morning.
