Bought and activated mine on May 28 and still having the issue though. I hope it'll work out for CyberPunked at least.
I made it to the end of the queue on Hazak without getting a connection error (will be going Exile I think) but was then hit with the empty character creation screen. Tried to log back in and it was hanging on retrieving account info or whatever. Eventually got back in again but now I'm back in a queue of 1.4k+. Fun times.
I knew what to expect but I should probably have stayed in bed a little longer methinks heh.

Haven't made the guild yet, need to get to a high enough level and collect enough money.
Ah, good, will be looking into that then once I get on as well.
Alright cool. Also, my buddy and I have noticed that Orias seems very dead... I commented that it's 5 AM and opening night, so that could lead to some of the barren presence to it.
Also, can anyone else use Zone or Advice chat? I have been hit with the "You don't have permission to use that channel." since creating my character.
That might be why it seems so empty too. Not sure.Ya I'm in a 480 person queue right now
Yeah looks like if you are lucky enough you can bypass the queues
Happened to me a few times already.

I'm noticing a good amount of people out questing, and it is 6AM.

Man, the entitlement on the official forums is toxic.
Will guest passes work from today as well if we receive our hard copies early?

This is what I get now:
I'm surprised the game doesnt have a more robust (or really any) combat tutorial
Rebooting my router helped me get past that

I was getting that too until...This is what I get now:
Now I'm back to the old "no valid account" error.
Got kicked (memory error but it was hanging on the loading screen to Algoroc for a long time so probably a induced by a server issue).
Still having problems with Nameplates randomly disappearing and reappearing. And as time goes on the game is getting more laggy which was to be expected really, midday on a weekend so they're going to get hammered.
Can't wait to get more abilities on my Engineer to sack this useless robot off, as well. Useless... pathing is crap and unless I use its targeting ability it usually does sod all. Tried defensive mode, assist mode, aggressive mode... always the same.
edit: now there's a queue on Ravenous. Arrrrgh

This is what I get now:
Holy shit CyberPunked, I found a fix on reddit.
Delete all the ini files in your appdata folder. Search for %appdata% and click the Roaming folder.
I was able to make a char ang login in a random server.
Careful, that's how Abel got killed...

Damn accidentally fell asleep but at least now I have some rest and can play for far longer.

This is for most of the EU servers and the queue estimate is just getting larger and larger instead of going down.
Ravenous has been up like 2-3 hours and already has a queue.
On one hand I am glad they didn't open up so many servers because we've seen in other MMOs what happens when they fade away (SWTOR a good example) and server pops crash.
On the other these initial couple of weeks are going to see a lot of waiting.
edit: get through the queue and character screen is blank. Fucking wonderful.
Number is down to ~2900 now but the time estimate it up to 10 hours ^^. I imagine the actual time is around 1 hour at this rate.
Got a few Exile characters created on Hazak now. Think I'll be playing the Spellslinger as my main but after looking at these screens for several hours already trying to get in I don't think I'll start playing just yet. Later today though assuming all is well with the servers!
That sucks :/
I guess it could be a coincidence since the devs said to wait 2-3 hours, but I was seeing beta account login ini's in there cluttering things up.

I waited about 40 minutes to get onto Hazak just now.
It claimed it was going to be 1 hour, then 2, then 4, then 5, then all of a sudden I was presented with the character creation screen.
Except I couldnt create one, so I closed it down and re-loaded fully expecting a queue but it let me make a character there and then.

This just turned up in the post as well.
But there doesnt seem to be any guest passes with it?

That said your tip was useful, so thank you
. After doing it, I've noticed my launcher is set on North America by default. It shouldn't, I'm from EU and I'm supposed to have the EU client.
Also I've tried to switch language and it downloaded Eng_US...I don't know if they have Eng_UK (the name suggests they do) but if they do I should be dling that instead.
I wonder if I didn't end up with a US client somehow. Maybe I should redownload and reinstall. The fix probably isn't due for next hour, so I could try that. Seems too obvious but hey, you never know.
Good to know.
I'm queueing for Hazek right now, I'll let the queue go down normally first to see. It's down to 1900 now.
So what do you guys reckon is the most appropriate path for a Spellslinger? During the betas I really liked Scientist, not so much Settler and Expolorer. I never really got to try out the Soldier one though but that feels more like a Warrior/Stalker path, no?
Wish they had a path respec option.

Can you tell us if Scientist offers bonus info on the lore/world ? I'm really interested in that. Some other poster was as well.
Was it fun and all?
I'm not in-game right now so I can't tell you the exact hotkey, but there was a 'Challenges' tab in one of the menus somewhere that shows the 'cooldown' and other info.
