Yeah but a LOT of money has been poured into this game... and they're developing Starcraft: Ghost still.... Frozen Throne was over a year ago and they still run free b.net... so I wouldn't say they have a lot of money, it's possible though. But yeah, I agree that they're using queues in part to persuade people onto the newer, emptier servers. But also the queues are because everyone is just starting and if you had thousands of kids logged into one server all at lvl 1 it would be utter chaos. Even IF, and that's a big if, the server could handle so many, it would be absolute chaos in that there wouldn't be enough spawns, everyone would be doing the same quests, etc. This way queues allow for a slow trickle of people to enter the realm. I think it sucks, but it's definitely better than the alternatives, imo
