Known? Not as a named bug. Long queues during a beta stress window are expected behaviour rather than a defect — this page tracks it, it does not claim a fix.

How to confirm / reproduce
- Note the time of day — launch-window betas concentrate load in a few hours.
- Distinguish a login queue from a stuck "connecting" screen; the former counts down, the latter does not.
- Record your queue position and wait time so you can tell a slow-moving queue from a frozen one.
Official guidance
No Blizzard guidance specific to Forever queues has been published as of the last check. Queueing at login is standard for a new realm opening.
Community workaround (not official)
Non-official: try logging in outside peak hours. Do not use third-party queue-skip tools — they are not sanctioned by Blizzard.
