Destiny 2's release is likely to be huge. As such, the influx of players may bring with it something that MMO players are used to seeing at new game or expansion launches: server queues. Players encountered these when servers went online in North America, and it's possible they'll continue to pop up at peak times.

　　With Destiny 2's servers online and all countries now having access, Bungie has warned that players may not be able to immediately access the game. In order to "regulate player population to provide stable conditions for Destiny gameplay," server queues can pop up in Destiny 2 just as they could in the previous game. In other words, you may have to wait in line before you can play.

　　Now Playing: GS News Update: Destiny 2's Launch May Bring Server Queues, Bungie Warns

　　A page on Bungie's website notes that these queues are separate from the original Destiny, so don't blame your friend still playing that game if you get stuck in line. Bungie also points out several things you'll want to be aware of--namely, that you shouldn't back out of a queue in an attempt to speed things up, because you'll then start at the back of the line. Here's what Bungie says:

　　If a player loses connection or is removed from the queue, their placement will not be retainedIf a player reaches the front of this queue and is unable to connect to Destiny servers, they will have to re-enter the queue to try againQueue times may vary, depending on server traffic and concurrent populationIf you are faced with a wait, you can check out our Destiny 2 review in progress that provides some early thoughts on the game.
