I had positive queue results last night as well. Although it took some bravery, I logged out to experiment with how bad it would be during one of the most primiest of times (shortly before 7 PM CST.)
It took me a little over an hour to get in, which wasn't an unfathomable inconvenience (I cooked/ate dinner and browsed the Steam sale in the downtime.)
Other people in my LS also reported more favorable results. I even had a couple of people who were angry over the measures upon their announcement (including one EU), but after experiencing it, they were like "oh, this is better/not that bad, I was worried over nothing." Said EU friend logged out during the designated time -- as there were plenty of warnings, similar to logging off for maintenance -- and logged back in without much incident after the window had elapsed.
Now comes the question of whether people will panic and circumvent the mass-kick system via remote log in en masse to cause the issue all over again, I guess?
