Queue system

  • The waitlist means you'll be tested at some point — not immediately. Be patient.
  • Join the queue when a tester pings with a button; it's for players ready to log on now.
  • If no testers are available, there is no open queue message.
  • Queues close when no testers remain active — your position isn't saved.
  • Press leave if you no longer want to be tested.
