Yesterday I was spamming log on, taking turns with my brother, to see how long it would take to get in. It took 8 hours to get in, and by then I had to go to work so I couldnt play anyways.

A good solution would be sub servers, extra servers that will be merged at a later date when population goes down. Or when the population maxes a sub server opens carrying the overload.

Most games are doing subservers now, so I dont see why FFXIV isnt if this is a 'reborn' launch. So far all I see is that you're trying every way to prevent people from communicating their issues with eachother... Everyone knows this launch is a failure. Just try to fix it...

Sub-Servers!
Would fix it!

Goblin Server, Goblin2 Server. This will give the flood some time to even out and people to settle. Once population goes down (which can be up to a month as after the release many people will opt out of doing the monthly payments. You can merge the overflow servers.
