Server Capacitie.

[rederoin]

My guess would be the server was coming back from a server crash? That is the only time I see queues like that. Everyone is trying to log back on at once and they severely gate/restrict the rate of logging in to the world.

Other than those types of things (crash or coming back online after an update ), I don't see queues greater than 100, most typically around 50.

Though maybe i"m just lucky.

Depends on the server. Twintaini and Spriggan also had this problem a week or so ago. Late at night the queue suddenly shoots up to 1000+(GMT). During the midday its just around 50-100. Might be bots, who knows.
