Not to sound cynical man, but there's really no point in trying to log in anymore until the servers are fixed. You're just wasting your time and frustrating yourself over something you can't control.

The community that is in the game realized the AFK strategy which has now become a standard strategy to everyone now. And while you can blame them for taking up space, you also really can't... (because they also paid money and are taking steps to ensure they don't waste their money.. yada yada, but that's another topic)
So spots are too scarce to be worth the effort. Best advice is to just go play another game until the servers are fixed. It sucks, but it'll take your mind off it. Then if you can't get on then, well... then shitake has really hit the fan.

Also if it's any collation from my experience and many others as of late, even if you get in you're most likely going to get 90k'd out.

Yes we're all disappointed and you can bash me for saying, "Just wait it out"... but it's really your only option that can keep you calm about the situation. You make this thread it doesn't effect SE, and only serves to bring people to come in and clash on each other.
