    I know the queues make sense...but its hard to care when you have to wait 1 hour to get into the game (2 queues, due to a DC). I just wish it was an account queue, rather then a character queue.

    Encountered a queue for the first time today - nearly had a heart attack when I saw the wait I was in for!:P
    I wouldn't mind, except neither alt+tab or alt+enter seem to work all of the time for me, sometimes it'll just leaves me with a blank screen and I have to end task in order to get back into the game...

    /edit
    ffs, had to queue up again just now - 20 minutes in the queue and it starts to load, then kicks me back to the character select screen at the bottom of the queue

    Setting it up in windowed mode can avoid the tabbing issues.

    Been playing full screen since I bought the retail version, had no black screen issues, maybe it was just the headstart client.

    That's what I've had to do now, still prefer having games running in full screen though.
    The reason I got kicked out earlier was an auto logout due to being afk, seems a little odd that you enter the world in an AFK state:confused:

    I am finding the queuing problematic. 30 mins or so on the server my wow friends have chosen. As a result I've picked up a couple of alts elsewhere but it all seems a bit meaningless not having easy access to my main and feel it lacks a certain pick up and playability.

    With this, kiith, you will have even longer queues which wouldn't be fair. Although it is quite logical.

    The game is new, this happens with most new mmorpgs. It will be fixed with free migrations or expanding the servers. Well first thing I do is run warhammer, then alt tab to do other things on the net. I don't mind the wait too much to be honest.

    EDIT*

    If you are going to complain or make suggestions, it's pointless to do it here. Go to the warhammer forums and post it there too so the devs have some feedback, yea?

    I think i'll stick with playing on Azgal during the days, when i can avoid the queue, and roll an order toon on K8P for nights like there. Only a queue of about 100 there, with a 518 queue on Azgal.

    Yup, queued twice this afternoon due to the aforementioned auto afk logout. Just got disconnected in the middle of a scenario now and after 15 minutes in the queue it disconnected me...
    Feels like I'm spending more time in the queue than actually playing:mad:

    Shouldn't be that hard for them to remember your place in the queue for 5 minutes after a DC...

    Anyone know if Azgal is going to be Full for ever now. I rolled an order toon on another server because I can't wait around in a queue before I get to play. Destruction is going to be my main so I am better off finding another server to roll on?

    Sat in a queue for 50 mins or so, still not going to move server though. They are getting quite a lot of complaints about it so they will change the way it works sooner or later.

    As soon as I get home for work I start up the queue. Gives me time to eat dinner, watch the news etc. I make sure to keep a note of the time in case I get booted when I log in. Makes it bearable.

    Sunday is the internets busiest day as everyone knows, so the queues yesterday were "frightening". Its back to normal today (normal being 25 mins avg queue time).

    Total opposite for me actually... less than 25 minute queues the 3 times I connected yesterday, but had to put up with a 55 minute queue today.

    I've never had any problems after 10pm on a weekday, talking about 5 min queues at most. :D

    After the cloning of servers the other day it seemed that queues had disappeared or were very short. Didn't last long, 2 hour queue to get on this evening with >600 waiting.

    Guess I'd better go back to the old routine and log in as soon as I get home if I want any time to play.
