I play on Keenblade and the Ques are all over the map. The worst seems to be around 7-8pm where the Ques are 2 hours long to almost 0 if you log on around midnight. In the afternoons the Ques are are around 30 mins.
While I understand this is being relieved by adding servers it will not change most que lengths as people who have characters are still going to go to their old server to play their lvl 30+ chars instead of making new chars on new servers. IMO they need to offer transfers to unpopulated servers to alleviate the problem.
Trion Worlds Adds Rift Shard Status Page to Site
Trion Worlds has added a shard status page to the official Rift site so you can view the population, queue size and maintenance status of all North American and European servers.
There are currently 35 North American servers and 26 European servers. As far as queues are concerned, NA PvP server Briarcliff is currently in the lead for the longest wait time. Of course, that could change in the blink of an eye.
For those of you in the Rift Head Start, what have your experiences been with server queues? Do you still have a lengthy wait, or has the addition of new shards helped you quickly get into Telara? Let us know in the comments below.
