Devs,
Since the queue is causing all sorts of forum rage, I think I have an idea to put some ice on the trolls.
You are really pushing your new Gateway System, which is one of the greatest ideas I have seen in MMOs. You also push the Foundry, which is AGAIN one of the greatest ideas seen in an MMO. So here is what you do, its quite simple. Allow players to login and essentially "get in line." While they wait in line, allow them to start building in the Foundry and working in the Gateway. You essentially can in the Gateway now, but why not have a little ticker in the top corner or something along those lines, that indicates your position, in Foundry as well. I feel its a pretty simple fix and will start getting more people to try out new stuff in the Foundry. That's all I got, good luck with opening day!
PS: I have been playing after buying the Guardian Pack and this is an all around great game, combat is amazing! Also, rewarding Guardian Pack "Founders" with a little bump in the queue would be nice

Exactly what I'm talking about. Allow those waiting to play around with the other content in the game. The Foundry is huge and there is so much to do. Why not queue up and start building while you wait!
Otherwise its a fine idea.
