In an update on the state of the game, the Quake Live team points out that they don't like the queues to get into the game any more than you do.We apologize for the frustration a line causes, but it will be in place until we can scale and optimize our back-end to accommodate "everyone." This is our top priority right now and when we get to that point, there will be no queue. You can certainly trust us on this - for a game funded by advertising revenue, we don't want a queue keeping you out anymore than you want it.
That's certainly the upshot of a revenue model based on advertising. The last thing developers want is you unable to play!
