So I've been trying to join the server Excalibur to play with a friend for over 24 hours now. I sit on the character creation completion screen spamming refresh when available to join the server.

I just had to voice, as a potential new player, how annoying it is to try and join a friend who is already established on a server and be locked out with no realistic expectation of when, if ever, I'll be able to join him. There's no queue system there to even give me a number to speculate.

Pretty poor design in my opinion and a sure fire way to deter new players from joining the game.
