Upgrading your premium tier probably increases your 'priority' in the premium queue as well. Or at least that's what I'd like to think, since I've gone from an estimated wait time of 20 minutes on the premium queue to about 50 minutes, after waiting for at least half an hour so far as more and more people turn up in the waiting queue (was about 1425-ish when I started queuing, it's now at 1588 premiums waiting at time of writing).

I'm not about to spend 9999 NCoins on the 365 day premium membership for those points to find out if this is the case, though.

Reddit has a google doc with estimated number of people per server, based on name reservations. Looking at the list for NA, Mushin server has probably nearly 20k names on it, with the next biggest server being Jiwan at about 4250 or so names. At this rate they might as well make Mushin a Premium only server, because no one else will be able to get in there even in the dead hours of the night.
