Tend to agree, on friday the Queue on tonberry was over 11000, now when its not giving an error 3001 the queue is quite small between 50 and 1000. But it matters naught as a queue update results in a drop from queue, and an endless cycle of 3001 errors.
I guess just to many people want to play. I noticed you can use the Visit alternate world feature to try an avoid the queue, but it doesnt work, I can create characters on garuda, and play them but cant visit garuda without getting the same error 3001.
