I agree with you on the timers. There is no reason for people to be squatting on the servers if they are not playing. I have been trying all day to get on (almost 14 hours) and still no luck. I had the same problem as you did with being in Queue and then it refreshed to 1017 error. I don't understand why we have servers that only allow so many people to log in at a time, Why not just limit the amount of players allowed to create a toon on the server that way you know everyone will be able to get in without any delays and just up the amount of servers you have. Looking at the way the game is going I may not play past the free 30 days, unless they fix the server problems and setup some kind of timer to kick people after say 2 hours squatting. I think they should do a full reset on the system and give everyone a chance to log in and if you aren't at your system then to bad you shouldn't have been logged in in the first place.

There were a lot of people last night that said they were not going to log off because it took them so long to get on, so now we have over 1000 people sitting on a server not doing anything while you have 2000 or more wanting to get on to actually play. I understand SE doesn't owe us anything yet but I ordered the CE for the extras and now I wish I would have just waited and got the regular one and not waste as much money. I'm willing to beat that half the people that are squatting are the ones that have a 9-5 job and left the system on all day just so they could play when they got off work. It seems like if you want to play the game you have to wait till 3am (EST here) to be able to sign on. My question to SE is did you ever lift the logon limit after you did the maintenance or are we still sitting at half capacity? and if so why are you trying to release a game early if you haven't fixed your problems.
