Dawntrail launch log-in queues

Neither - was referring to this sentence from the post (of yours) I quoted: "His followers FLOODED the DC he rolled on and any other one they could roll a toon on and travel to him. I think I remember it coinciding with launch (or so close as not to matter) and really adding to the login chaos at the time"

Yeah...that is what I meant by login mess. Tired= me not voicing my thought well Sorry

I think many forget on why there were so many issues with congestion at the start of Endwalker. There was a surge of players coming from World of warcraft at the time due to very high streaming some from Esport teams coupled with a new expansion there was congestion to be expected. Then we have to remember that at the time there was a very big shortage on semi conductors and Square enix was unable to expand their servers. So yeah, while there were problems with logins and disconnects, they did fix it as soon as they could. Yoshi made a comment that he was confident that it would not be a repeat since they have a larger capacity in server space and the ability to create additional worlds. We shall see.

You should be expecting login queues, long ones for the largest population worlds. You should expect bugs and maintenances and further down time. This is consistent with every single MMO on every expansion.. If you call off work on day one and can't play. That's on you.

I’m pretty sure home world characters get priority in the login queue if you read through all the details. The DC travel will also be funneling them to whatever worlds are least congested at that moment, if I’m understanding it right: world will be chosen for you based on how many people are currently on it. (Unless that’s just a default that can be changed.)

I’m cautiously optimistic that if everyone is forced to stay on their home worlds, that the queues won’t be that bad at all. And worse comes to worse, low pop servers get some help filling the duty finder for a bit!

I didn't see the Home World prioritization part, so that does make me feel slightly better.
