Am I the only one who hasn't had a single issue with EW?

[ArthurATDayne]

The only time the Queuewalker hasn't been an issue for me is around 12am - 6am PST so as long as it's an out of the way inconvenient time where most of the players are asleep and I'm not, it works... with a really annoying sound stutter in dungeons/trials/raids with other players Dut-Dut-Dut-Dut-Dut non stop.

Honestly, yeah it can be irritating to wait in a queue for 4/5 hours, but once you're in, you're in. And d/cs notwithstanding, it's pretty impressively stable in game for me.
Just stocked up on 12 cans of energy drink and getting through the story. 15 minute naps etc. Should have msq done in a few 20 hour sessions going at a leisurely pace.
Absolutely adoring Sage.

Everyone already knows about the queue issue with the login server; it's just the same people screeching when they've been told time and time again why they couldn't just magic servers into existence... yes, for months, because the shortage has been ongoing for months and will likely continue for some time. I get the frustration at not being able to play but come on, people.

Anyway, the actual game servers are buttery smooth, period. Didn't have anything to do Friday, so I got on early because I've played mmos for decades and know what to expect. Played for around 10 hours before logging off, same with most of Saturday. However, when I tried to get back on that night after a nap I hit a 5k queue so just shrugged and went back to sleep. Got on early Sunday, did the same thing I did on Friday.

Haven't advanced the story too much; got up to Garlemald on my main but mostly been gathering and crafting because I like being self-sufficient, and I play through the story on an alt with my sister (who can't always beat the queues) which takes up more time. Enjoying everything so far. I don't get people complaining about slow bits in stories... you need those highs and lows, otherwise it gets exhausting. If everything were slow then fair enough, but that hasn't really been the case.

Not much problems actually, expected queues during launch and scheduled my life so I play off-peak hours.

[Tsumdere]

Been running great for me! A few hour long queues here and there, but I've been able to logout and log back in frequently enough for me to make dinner and stuff. None of my friends have had issues logging in either. Sure is nice to be on the datacenter that everyone jumped ship from.

I had a lot of time during the weekend, logged in early and played through the entire day.. But yeah logging in afternoon, evenings on Odin for example is hard with the 2002 error.
BUT lets be honest. The team explained the entire situation to us, they did what they could behind the scenes. Sure Blizzard and WoW left a mark on this launch with all the players joining from WoW which is, by any means, not a bad thing for FFXIV. But with corona and the server material prices shooting through the roof (i dont have sources, just trusting what the team said to us) its incredibly hard to manage imho.

Give it 2 or 3 weeks maybe a little longer then it should normalize.

Hang tight fellow warriors of light, we'll get through this together!

Edit: Once i was in though, i NEVER got booted. Not even once. So that is a great thing per se.

Phoenix (Light) checking in. Horrible queues? Check.

[Rolder50]

It depends on when you log in, I find. I'm on Siren (Aether) and if I log in before about noon eastern, no queue no problem. But it picks up from there generally hitting 3-4k later in the day.

[Imora]

I'm on at 5 am server and have no issues, but my fc is still reporting 5-6k queues to get in. And the queues are slow to clear, people aren't logging off. I know one guy that was logged in for 72 hours.

[Blindheart]

I conveniently had a 4 day weekend having worked over thanksgiving, and while I'm not a morning person i was able to be up an hour after servers came up and had a 4k queue, but was in by 5 am. Played all day no issues went to bed and got up and logged in at 9/10 am both Saturday and Sunday with 50ish in queue, same as i had seen week leading up to patch, all 3 days no issue playing. Got reaper and sage to 80. Haven’t touched any new story areas yet but was able to play well all weekend.

Back to my normal life now and wont be able to play till after 6pm... i expect long queues based off of what I've been reading, but i had not made any plans to actually dig into the story until my xmas vacation in a few weeks. So i feel lucky to have played as much as i have the last few days. I wish others have good luck the next few weeks so i can get back in and play without massive crowds at all the npcs lol
