Login Queue [#login-queue]

When many players connect at once, the login queue prevents performance drops:

| Setting                       | Default | Description                                   |
| ----------------------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| `loginQueueConcurrentPlayers` | `5`     | Players processed simultaneously during login |
| `loginQueueMaxPlayers`        | `500`   | Max players that can wait in the queue        |

These are also set in `serverDZ.cfg`.
