Shouldn't there always just be a queue? Or did the developers make a maximum queue size which is too small and this error comes up if the queue is full too?

I think the queue size needs to be able to handle a larger amount of people, so you can do something else while you're waiting to get in rather than just sit and spam a button.
THey set up a queue, but when the servers were still crashing they also set up an artificial population limit. So when the servers are over populated you get the 1017 error. When pop drops you get queued up, though the queue mechanic is messed up because it shouldn't ever allow a queue higher than the pop limit which it seems to do because you can get queued and then get a 1017.
