No what you described is partly your fault for following around a streamer. I logged in at 430am (its now 630am). I had no queue and played for 2 hours straight without an issue.
The other part of your problem is what those who have played mmos before call normal. If queues and issue are something you can’t handle I recommend you avoid MMO launch week, major patches and XPAC releases.
I’ve been in queue for 2h and then I got your typical “too many requests” error. Back to start line. Nice game.
Why so you can come back here and complain you have to fight over mobs and nodes? No thanks add more servers leave the current cap where it is.
Currently in a massive queue (EU). https://newworldstatus.com/ says it’s a 61 hour queue, my own calculation based on how much the place number changes over time is more like 35-40 hours.
I spent 18 hours in queues yesterday, for a total of around 2 hours of playtime.
I’m British and we LOVE queues, it’s part of our national identity, so it’s quite something when even a Brit is complaining about the queue 
No puede ser que lleve más de una hora para entrar, y me salga un error estando casi a menos de 1000 de cola…
Y tengo que volver a entrar en el servidor con más de 3200 en cola
Esto supone volver a esperar más de hora y media que ya llevaba esperando.
No puede ser que comprando la edición deluxe pase esto
Como tampoco puede ser que la previsión para este tipo de posibles trabas a la hora de iniciar el juego, no estuvieran consideradas por parte de los desarrolladores.
Y digo de nuevo, no es admisible que estés en cola, te dé un error y tengas que volver a empezar la cola de cero…
I believe the server cap is alreay at 2k saw some numbers on an unofficial website hope the numbers are correct tho
well its the same as yesterday queue at 30+ mins and counting so far… server cap still 2k and reading free transfers be offered in the next 2 weeks approx.
Hello there. It has now been a day, how are the queues? 
2 weeks is too long. they’ll lose over 75% within the first week if this continues
the game has ~700k players
half are in ques.
third time today getting kicked out of the queue only for it double each time.
good times. who needs to play games when you can just sit and watch a queue fail over and over again?
Average Problem here for EU Central Server, starting at ~ 2800-3500 when i am like que position 200-500 i get the Error “@mm_loginservices_TooManyRequestsException” when i instantly head back in, you still need to que from beginning.
Just give us a maintance thats gonna fix this , i want to chop chop wood ;-(
Just got this error, again. Back to startline we go…
When the issued error triggers just hit refresh on the left under your characters list. The queue will continue from where you left.
It’s not an official fix but it worked for me.
Just happened for me 2 times. 500 → 300 error-refresh 299 → 135(now) error - refresh now i’m 57.
just happened to me again → this isnt gonna work now they need to fix this
4k players in queue when server capacity is 2k is broken. I guess the devs should have limit the character creation.
Kostenloser char transfer schön und gut wie komme ich an meinen lvl 20 char ran der in einem vollen server ist, soll ich wieder von 0 lvln ?? ES müsste ein char trans sofort möglich sein und dann einen Cooldown für 1-2 wochen wo man dann wieder transen darf.
position in queue 3750
kicked after more then 2 hours waiting
in new queue position 2828
After you are kicked from queue do not press play. Close the error, refresh and wait. You will be back at your position.
I read it in another topic and it worked for me.
Why is this marked as a solution? This does not work!!!
4 hours in queue… tried this “solution” waited 30 mins… did nothing.
Hooray… back to a 5+ hour queue now… f***ing ridiculous!
Unmark this thread as solved and ACTUALLY FIX your broken product!!!
