This World is currently full. Is this an indication of anything?

I'm surprised that sometimes, even when I'm logging in at what seems like a bad hour for people (Friday, 1p.m.), I get this message. Are there really that many people playing FF14 or is my server too small to contain people? It's weird that every time I get the message it's somewhere in the range of 1 to 39. I've never seen it go above that even during weekends. What is this message actually saying?

You need to equip your secret decoder ring to comprehend this message.

I'm not MPK or titanman or whoever else. It's genuinely bizarre but as long as I get useful information I can safely ignore you, thankfully.

Trolling and what not aside, I was surprised to see a queue of over a hundred earlier today. >.>

To answer the question seriously for those who aren't aware it's a troll thread from a troll poster: To alleviate re-crashes if a world goes down, SE just keeps the lobby feature on permanently these days. 50-100 people are allowed to log onto the world each time, once per minute. Before they put the lobby in, the combined stress of a thousand accounts empting to log into a world server at once would make it unstable. So you are caught in a net and released at a controlled pace via the lobby server.

That is—refreshingly informative!

Thank you for the useful information! And no, I'm not a troll nor do I see how this is a troll thread.
