Against "Simultaneous Logout Measures"

[Gyson]

It's "full" means that the area you are trying to enter is being throttled. 1000 people entering the same map all at once would cause more stress on the server than sending them in 100 at a time. You'll note that in just about every case immediately after reset/maintenance, the queues start high, but count down in 100's.

If the queue never goes down, then that means there simply aren't enough people doing ... well anything. We all know SE can create instances if it wants to, but that does nothing for the underlying cross-realm support. Hence Rauhbahn EX and Pippen EX.

The queue is not map specific, else you would have an easier time entering the game by logging into specific zones (and your different characters would have wildly different queues, assuming they are logged off in different zones).

And, yep, I'm aware that following a reset people are being granted entry to in waves. That's what I was describing above when I was discussing the difference between it and capacity-based queues. My point was the game doesn't let you know whether the queue you're in is capacity based (meaning you are literally waiting for other players to log off before you can advance further in the queue), or whether it's a result of throttled entry into the world (meaning room is available, but people are being brought in in waves to reduce stress on the system). The latter happens immediately following a reset, while the former tends to happen during prime-time hours on congested worlds. So, when people are complaining there's a queue immediately following these afternoon resets (even on worlds that normally don't have capacity-based queues) - I'm saying it's to be expected.
