Skipped over in the Queue

[Sparky]

ok this is what happens 3 things you need to know.

There is an artificial cap they put in place on the servers which is lower then the actual cap of the server.
They use the Queue system to control the flow of people logging in to the server.
They turn on and off the queue system as needed to control this flow.

So what happens you try and log in... server is at artificial cap. You get 1017. All of a sudden a bunch of people log out and the server is blow the threshold of the artificial cap. So they turn on the queue system. So now 100 people in queue. Say the first 50 of the bring the server back up to that artificial cap. the other 50 then get booted out of the queue and get 1017 when the system shuts off the queue.

Kind of pointless having a queue if it's still going to be a free-for-all at the end of it.
