The only time I've been able to log in since their maintenance yesterday around noon has been 5am this morning before work. I really don't understand how they think lining people up in an orderly queue would be more of a load on the servers than tons of people repeatedly attempting to login manually one at a time.

I loved FFXI and I love this game when it works. I understand launches are never smooth. However, saying they are limiting the number of people that can log on and not telling us that they're working on fixing the situation (reinstating queues? Getting new servers?) is a bit disconcerting.
