With Bioware's budget and what I guess is a standard provisioning model for new servers, this shouldn't be an issue. With the available manpower a new server could bought, shipped, installed at their datacentre, setup and running within a few hours.

So on the 20th when I actually start paying for the game in fact be paying money to queue?

I stand corrected, my original moan of 45 minutes (and is it going to get worse) has now escalated to 4-5 hours and is clearly showing it's getting worse.

I have been in the queue today longer than when my misuses gave birth to our son, and she thought she had it bad!

Thanks TDarksword, exactly that! The 50 or so active guild members we have built up over the last several years of WoW and other MMO's decided on day one to choose the same server when we started playing. Many of us purchased CE's of SW:TOR on the first day of pre-orders; so naturally we were some of the first few in on Tuesday lunchtime. When we started all servers were lightly populated and we are now averaging lvl 20's and have set our minds staying on our server (Bloodworthy); so migrating servers now (and logging in game to arrange it) isn't an option. I understand that I'm not the only one in this situation, but complaining is the best way to get noticed and get something actioned and is very much the "grown up" option. Sitting there and "taking it like a *****" will get you no where in life...

Christ you're a friendly ****er aren't you... Seeing as I am paying to play (and paid 6 months in advance, bought the CE) and not queue I think my little dig is valid; will login times get worse on the 20th.

I'm seriously hoping that the 45 Minute queue to get on my server is a pre-launch issue only, What happens on the 20th when the general public join SW:TOE?; 2 day waiting list? :update, now taking 4-5hours to get on to server
