The way I see it, on the first day the word was getting out, the second, third, fourth, fifth days it’s still getting out as different press write about it and people spread the word. People jump onto the list. After a couple weeks it’s starting to ebb. New publications issue their monthly magazines and spikes occur on the waiting list. There are some lulls daily when most of the US and Canada are asleep. Fractal didn’t publish the information on this forum only, they take advantage of social media, and there’s a propagation delay.
Some members shared graphs during the FM3 rollout, which, granted, were not exactly the same situation as now, but there were definitely repeated peaks and valleys. I don’t remember the exact cycles though.
WE have no idea how many people are on the list and Fractal won’t, and shouldn’t, tell us because that’s company confidential information. You are right, the days waiting does change. The speed that they move through the list tends to accelerate, but in my own tracking since the FM9 was announced, I’ve seen the delay extend by four days. It’s better to work with our existing gear than to worry about the queue.
