    The EQ launcher is very slow, I'm not sure if its because it has so much resource hogging things in it or what.

    It's now bugged for me where I'll have it remember me, but all sudden asks me for password, it will give error 50% when I enter in right password, and after that it will say I'm playing but I'm not playing.

    It's like a very resource intensive gatekeeper, I remember good ole days, where I'll be in the actual game at login screen. When I try to run eqgame.exe it says use the launcher :( Other games/launchers like steam, gw2 launcher, Bethesda launcher. Smooth as a cucumber. EQ launcher, its like I'm loading a very big file, I dread clicking on it because of knowing how slow and unpredictable it can be.

    Also, sometimes. Launchpad is unable to connect message.
    I go check my internet speed by going to some websites, loads fine. I check eqforums, the eqlauncher. Seems like server is slow, possibly bad tomcat, needs a restart or terminate so another tomcat spins up. Thinking maybe a server issue? Probably why 50% successful login with password 50% good password gives error? Not sure why its saying Playing. After restarting computer it lets me play. Something funky is going on here. I shouldn't need to restart my computer due to 50% chance funky stuff happening. Please check your servers, tomcats if you use them, I think there is a bad one.

    Just some feedback on the EQ launcher, its very annoying right now. I wish I could put it in plain text mode and not even see all the flashy resource intensive stuff it wants to show me. Also whats this deal with Playing? How about you just let me into the eqgame, I'm stuck at this EQ launcher, its all lies I'm playing!! Let me get into the game!!!

    Possible reasons:

    - Antivirus software
    - Firewall
    - Not enough free memory
    - Compatibility
