But seriously

where is the queue?

Where is the idle logout so people don't just sit on a space all day, since who the their right mind is going to log off when it's impossible to even sit in a queue in order to get on?

This might be the single dumbest handling of login throttle I have ever seen.

I get the same thing....

yeah stupid me..was in this morning and playing for a few hours, and then I logged out for a few minutes and cannot get back in.

Please fix this mess with the servers.

So... I haven't seen any additional maintenance updates today. However, I have been trying for the past 30 minutes to log into the world and am still getting world full. Awesome. Glad I already had the collectors edition from the first release, wasn't eligible for early access so I bought the new collectors edition, but early access isn't working.

EDIT:

how is it this world full isn't affecting some? My FC yesterday were complaining about not being able to connect for 5+ minutes. Yesterday, I wasn't able to connect for 8 hours due to world full.

Apparently Yoshi P put out an apology, you can find the info on gamefaqs, however it states nothing about adding servers. Reads as if it will continue until demand dies down some.

It must be time to cancel the Pre-order before I am charged tonight.

I had this problem most of yesterday and continue to now but I couldn't report it until today thanks to the forums posting limit rules. Or so im told that's why I couldn't post.

they need to add an auto log out timer. people are just not going to log out because they know they cannot get back in. I guess that very rudimentary and basic piece of mmo planning and design escaped them.
