Estimated queue times are never average Average queue times are average, but ever changing

I think provided the cost for them to assess would be helpful to provide. As far as, what server log in time to provide just provide an average and label it as such. Or expected/projected. To me, that would potentially help the initial launch to provide a better experience for the average player.

Most MMO players understand the notion that higher population means longer queues at launch. The thing is, they also understand that higher population means a healthy server for longer. No one wants to be in the first round of server mergers. My preference would be for both, but if it could only be one thing, I'd go for number of people in the queue.
