What is the point of having a queue system if you don't let people INTO the queue???

This is kindergarden level programming. I won't mind being number 35,000 in the queue as long as I can walk away and know I'll get in after some number of hours.... making a queue that's only a couple hundred slots is pointless. Having a limit is mostly pointless... it can't take much resources to hold a tcp socket open and less than 1K of memory for the login/world/character info.
