I rather like the more streamlined login interface... but I'm still nostalgic for the original loading picture! If they made a new login interface, why isn't there a new patcher? Do you guys like/approve of this new login system?

The options system is crap though, clicking options, start an external program, that is a simple window program and not part of the "style" of the new login look. __________________ Naturalist Aluvin Level 70 Natureguard of Tunare Member of Familjen Bristlebane

yah thats something they really cant remove. You see that with every online game like EQ though.

I like the quick login feature. The interface is kinda nice now since it uses the same resolution you use in the game.

It also looks like it may be possible to mod the login area.

You need to create something like - EQLSUI_custom.xml - EQLSUI_Animations_custom.xml then define the new background in the animations xml, and then define the eqlsPlayerData.ini to use the custom EQLSUI_custom.xml file. I already modded a prototype login for my guild. Here's a preview~ I hope my description wasnt too much of "blabla" and you can understand what I mean.~ __________________

For legal liability reasons, SoE has to have that warning appear during every login session. In fact, they can't even put in the possibility of removing it. Otherwise I can just imagine somebody saying in a lawsuit "It's not my fault I had a seizure using EQ after I had disabled the seizure warning. It's SOE's fault for making it possible for me to disable the warning, therefore I wasn't informed of the seizure warning, therefore SOE is financially liable for my seizure."

There are locations within each file that have the 1 or 0 listing on whether a screen will be shown. __________________ Kimolimilama American Samoan and Eastern Band Cherokee "Once you get people laughing - they're listening - and then you can tell them anything!"

I think putting it on the box or only showing it once is enough. So far its only appeared once for me, but if they start displaying it every time then I will get annoyed. There is already too much clicking just to enter a game.

My mouse also loses focus, where I have to click, then click again and move the mouse again from the upper left corner. (on the first screen)
