I tend to believe it is artificial because of what Raga said (Destiny)

Yeah, for a while I'd get knocked out of the queue and would be several thousands spots farther back than I was. Eventually, around 5:45, I stopped getting kicked out and the numbers started dropping but first hundreds every minute, then thousands, then near the top of the hour it was dropping by 20,000 at a time until I got down to something in the 540 range and a minute later I was in.

The queue probably helped prevent an unintentional DOS by us players, but I think the original problem was basically unrelated to the number of people trying to get in.
