Bioware Working on STAR WARS: KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC Server Issues

The game will officially launch on December 20th so we may not know the full extent of the server queue problem until then.

Jeff Hickman had to say:

"As you know, there are a lot of folks who want to play the game right now and we want to make sure they have lots of people to play with. Balancing this with figuring out when to bring new servers online to help alleviate the size of the queues is part art and part science. On one hand, you do not want people to wait too long on the other hand, you want to make sure that people have a dynamic, engaging community to play with for long after launch. While we can't promise that there won't ever be queues, we can promise you that we are taking this matter seriously and constantly reviewing them to make sure that they are manageable and reasonable."

The game will officially launch on December 20th so we may not know the full extent of the server queue problem until then. However, these issues where not totally unexpected because Bioware said they were going to limit the number of copies available initially to ensure server stability. Have any of you that have played the game run into long queue wait times?
