Are signature status players really given priority in the login queue?
I've been in queue for ~20 minutes, with my starting position a little over 2,000.
 
Don't get me wrong - if there are really 2,000 subs sitting in that queue, that's awesome!But I have a very hard time believing that there are 2,000 signature accounts sitting in front of me.
 
Does anyone know if we're actually being given priority?

			well after spending an hour in a queue earlier today as a signature player my friend still had a further 7 hours to wait as a free player, so i hope this answers your question

We are. Far as I can tell, its working as intended. Me and my bud went to log in last night. I'm a signature, he's not yet. My wait time started at 30 minutes, his started at a two and a half hours. My wait time was actually only about 20 minutes instead of the half an hour, and his still took the 2 1/2 hours. That right there was reason enough for him to go signature lol.
 
Anyway, I've also noticed that signature players usually get through their queue faster than the game says they will. So pretty sure it is in fact working.

taken from the high queue times sticky..
 
"Pro-tip: We save your spot in the queue until you get to the front. Feel free to close the client and come back, or check out the queues on other realms, and as long as you come back before you reach the front, you’ll have your same spot in line."
 
so maybe the time you spent testing was around the time remaining on your queue?

			Yes they are.

			i guess you got lucky then, i haven't really messed around with the queues to know if it is bugged or whatever as i didn't get any until saturday afternoon (20mins) and then another today (1hour) and my friend always had to wait longer so i just assumed it was working

Same stories as above. My queue earlier *said* it was 20 minutes, was really like 10-12.
 
Freebot friend still in queue a couple hours later.

			I'm pretty sure that the position in queue you are seeing is a display error.  I think they just don't DISPLAY the actual position based on being signature, but still apply it.  Free here (for now at least) and sitting at 1,200th in queue with 1h 45m wait.  So clearly if you get in after 20m in a 2,000-player queue, you are skipping ahead of the vast majority of players.

Here's the problem with that - I went ahead and tried a work-around I heard, whereby you continously log out if you get the queue pop-up.
On my third try, I completely skipped the queue window and was able to log 
 
So either that's bugged, or player's accounts aren't being recognized as signature the first time.

We definitely are Baelix.  The queue estimate is never accurate.  On top of that, if it times out or you're waiting too long, re-login and you should get in much sooner/straight away.
 
Has worked for me every time.
