Hi, I just got the game and the login scree says queuing.
It says:
EU-1
New character
Do I just click on that and when it goes through it will give me the option of making a character? What are the average wait times for this right after a big sale?
Right now the servers are down. So, you can't make a character. Your best bet is to keep the launcher/lobby open and watch the NEWS tab to see when the servers come back up (a good way to avoid queue times). When I got the game, my account was activated within an hour, probably closer to 1/2 hour.
servers are down and supposedly they are adding to the server capacity, or optimizing it. w/e.
hopefully no more hour long queues, cause thats just rediculous. I am 100% addicted but waiting that long to play, or after being d/c'd is not gonna fly for long.
update :: servers just came up as I posted this we shall see...
The problem with the queues is that nobody ever logs off. When you are done playing, you find a safe spot and macro a skill while you sleep. Probably half the people taking a 'spot' are not actually playing, they are sitting in a town unattended macroing.

about freaking time... I got my account today as well at around 4:17 gmt or 12:17pm est.
Queuing can be anywhere from 10 sec to 4 hours+.
