You may experience a short queue while starting
Neverwinter. This is because we are close to capacity as
Neverwinter fans rush to log in and begin their adventure. However,
Neverwinter Heroes of the North will jump to the front of the queue as part of their exclusive. Thanks for your patience!
Update 1: We’re aware of issues related to queues and are investigating. The abnormally high and fluctuating numbers are a display issue, and we’re working on a fix. We’ll update you with an ETA for the fix as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience!
Update 2: The team is working on ways we can improve the queue and address that display error. Thank you!
Update 3: We're discussing solutions now and making sure you wait as little as possible before you play. Thanks for being so patient.
Update 4: We apologize that some players have had to wait in a queue to access
Neverwinter. Our goal is to minimize the wait time as soon as possible. To accomplish this, we will be performing updates to the servers and network overnight. Please keep an eye
on this page for updates - we plan to have updated information regarding our progress around 9 a.m. on Wednesday, May 1, Pacific Time.
Update 5: things are going very smoothly and we're slowly letting more people in. Currently no wait on the Beholder or Mindflayer shards, and a short wait on Dragon. We hope to have everyone in with as little wait as possible, and are ensuring that the in-game experience is smooth for all. Thank you for your patience!

Everyone else...speak with your wallet.
Hope you can fund the game with JUST the HOTN users.

Queues are supposed to go down, not up, FYI.
Having paid to support the development of this game (and to provide the server farm capacity to play the game smoothly) it would seem right that founders get priority on queue.
Same here, I was actually planning on buying some Zen today for an outfit or two, but after this, I'm not dropping another penny.
I might not even play anymore honestly, since I'm still sitting here in queue jumping from postion 1,500 to 4,700.

60 bucks is not enough for Cryptic! So they dump us in the back with the freeloaders.
I am getting a bit fed up With Cryptic. This is STO all over again!
Expect this HAMSTER for at least two weeks until enough People get fed up of Queue times and quit the game and uninstall.
I think after Three HAMSTER launches and Three HAMSTER treatments by Cryptic I give up on this Company.
They sertainly won't get a single dime out of my Pocket anymore. That's for sure!
Fool me once With CO. Fool me twice With STO. And now With Neverwinter! It's strike out! :mad:
open up more ****ing servers already. :mad:
It's only been 15-20 minutes since this has been happening....so you've waited a few hours? BS
Besides, this queue is up for what? 20 minutes? i call bull****.
Oh right....so now VIP will randomly include a variety of things that weren't outlined previously. That's not only shady but it's bad business.
Like I said...vote with your wallet. This will become an exclusively free game for me now.
Yeah, thats $60 right at ya folks
Odd that you are mad about this... has been stated in the packs that this was the case since they started... Oh well. Need something to ***** about I guess.
and back to 5525 again ... same number is suspicious.
To be fair, it was clear on the founder packs = Hero's get preferential loggin, and that wasn't on guardian, *but* I would suggest there be a queue based on:
Heroes (1..N)
then Guardian (N .. X)
then Basic - the $20 pack) (X ... Z)
then F2P players
I don't think being derogatory about those players helps anyone - if a game is available free to play, that's a reasonable usage. I am sure, given that the F2P model centre's around users enjoying themselves, and then spending on items, that PWE are aware of just how important it is they solve login/laggin ... because if the F2P community give up after a week/month etc., then I suspect the game is in real trouble.
.... 1524 in queue now.
When you bought the Guardian Pack, did you not read what was in it? At no point did they ever advertise that Guardians of the North would get priority access. They're not alienating anyone, you got exactly what you paid for.
went from queue position 3000 to now over 6000...wtf!?
