I wonder if any of these people that are ranting about queues have ever seen an MMO launch? I remember the launches of both EQ and WoW(fanboi central). EQ didn't have queues, players just kept hitting enter server button manually until you got in and WoW had horrendous queues that I came back to it a month later to give it time to calm down. That's right the MMO golden boy game was crap at launch, but I'm sure some of you didn't see that because you hadn't whined/cried to your parents enough til they gave in and got you the game.
Even though I haven't gotten into EGA myself, but based on my own experiences of mmo launches (played them all except FF and Rfits) this one has been silky smooth so far.
