NTE server queue too long? How to reduce wait time

Long queues during peak hours (7-11 PM, weekends) are normal. Tips: 1) Avoid peak hours 2) Choose a less populated server 3) Stay in queue — don't cancel and re-queue or you'll restart 4) Watch for maintenance announcements — login surges after maintenance 5) Log in during off-peak hours and stay online. Don't close the game window while queuing.
