Wow Queue Frustration

Imagine a game that has people so commited that they will wait 30 minutes in line to start playing.  That game is the wildly successful World of Warcraft.  Around Christmas time, when there is a spike in the number of new users who receive the game as a gift, everyone also seems to be home from work all the time.  This results in a huge spike in users and a queue to get onto most servers.  Servers that normally have no wait whatsoever spike to a half an hour or more.  People will wait in the queue and still play.  It’s fascinating.  Worst of all, I can’t say haven’t waited for it…
