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.
