Seen from someone in store say that the book can't be seen. Also seen another who said that they were at the front of the queue and there was nothing to put in the basket. 

 

Looks like they may have forgotten to update the website to make the book visible/purchasable

I don’t understand things like websites, but until this afternoon, the link to the SE was available in my browser drop down history menu, but it’s not there now.

If the queue system gets paused does this mean we are re-allocated a new random place in the queue when it restarts.......

Maybe they changed the URL to try and stop bots from finding it before it was made visible in the search?

This is starting to sound like the beginning of another farce

That's what they did. They took down the item around 2ish today.

Something must be borked for this long a pause

It not being sold out 30 minutes later is an improvement of sorts.

The good thing is, bots have to go eat and drink and work and sleep and use the bathroom etc, whereas we can just hang on and wait here forever.

 

No, wait...

I'm still waiting on an email to notify me when it's back in stock

[Joe]

It's to do with website stability, apparently. Massive amount of incoming connections (dwarfing even peak Saturday pre-order's) that they are trying to work with.

[Nineswords]

Honestly? Despite how much of a farce this all is, I'm genuinely impressed with how this has been handled and the concerted efforts to stop the scalpers. If I don't get it, I don't get it, but at least I know I had a fair shot.

[Son of Rawl]

The clocks have run out, is the best way to describe whats happening in this queue.

[Felix Antipodes]

Whatever the reasons for this, I wouldn’t want to be in their IT section tomorrow morning…

I hope that is the case but seeing what a mess they made of their new website I don’t hold quite so much hope.

Probably the reason the release was timed for now was so the IT people were actually on-hand, rather than being off as I presume they are at the weekends.

[Matcap86]

If Legions Imperialis is anything to go by: "the queue will resume "shortly"", could mean somewhere in the next 2 months. 

[Son of Rawl]

Maybe they are getting a DDOS attack from vengeful scalpers

[m_r_parker]

In store, on the terminal, just managed to get one - FINALLY!!

 

But it’s rough there, person behind me is having more problems

[Felix Antipodes]

True.  When we were doing systems upgrades we always did them when staff were there to pick up on errors/problems immediately

[Etruscan]

Seeing as they insulted Erebus in the WarCom post, I wouldn’t put it past that nefarious bastard to be behind all this.
