End of the line: The Division's queuing problem has been fixed!
The Division's queueing glitch was one of its more... interesting launch day issues. For some reason only one person at a time was allowed to interact with a certain NPC, causing huge bottlenecks as entire servers full of players waited in line. Now it's been fixed.
This what I had to deal with, for example when I first played the game:

Following some overnight maintinance, this specific issue has been fixed. Here are the patch notes:
Here is the list of changes implemented during the maintenance of Thursday, March 10, 2016:
• Fixed the Brooklyn safe house activation issue: Players no longer need to interact with the laptop to complete their activation
• Fixed missing roaming groups of NPCs in the Dark Zone
• Various server stability improvements
It's that first one that takes care of the queues, meaning that no one will have to line up to start playing anymore. Isn't technology amazing?
