The weird thing to me was, last night when I finally managed to get in the queue at 1030 MST, I was 48th in the queue. This tells me one of two things:

1) I got super lucky and hundreds, if not thousands, of people logged off at the same time allowing me that far up in the queue

-or-

2) There really aren't that many people allowed in the queue

I can't imagine that having more people queued is harder on the server than thousands of people pressing Log In over and over and over again.

The stranger thing is, at least for me, when I finally got on the server was totally stable. I had zero lag of any kind throughout my two hours of playing, and no issues with video or sound or anything. The game itself is great and ready to launch, I just wish they would get this server issue fixed sooner rather than later, because I would like it to be a stress reliever after work, not a stressor.
