Simple math would of solved all your problems

IMO If the servers were actually full, we would be in a que without the login restrictions.

Yeah, and that is what is irritating me, and likely many people. It's not the wait, it's that you can't queue up and go get a sandwich or something, but you have to either not play or repeatedly try to login. It's a bit more than just a wait.

Possible solution: pretend like the launch is a month from now. By then half the subs will have left because of this and everything will be just fine! Maybe.

exactly, that is kinda whats been leading me to believe that the 1017 error everyone is seeing is actually just a filter, and doesn't correspond with the server being full at all.

and only a very small randomized number of players that attempt to log in actually gets into the request tunnel, in which is a line of X amount of players, which ends up in a que. So spamming 1017s is not doing anything against the server since your not really logging in, rather just returning tons of false alerts.

Its frustrating, a Que would be a nicer screen than having to hit the start button over and over again and getting people to not log out once in. This is why I'm baffled that they couldn't do the math and foresee this. Not even foresee ...but considered it as a possibility of something that could go wrong 'should' it happen.

I mean we are in 2013, load balancing servers in this day an age is possible and should not take this long. Not to mention it should of been part of their plan from day one.
