Thread: what happened to that char login?

  1. #1

    what happened to that char login?

    not to long ago i remember seeing something about a new log in screen so that we didn't have to log completely out of the game to switch toons. what happened to that? was it scraped?

    Question

    Since I recently started extra characters, I noticed that if you hit F10 (options) and look to the lower left, there's an option to "Quit To Login." Your toon camps like it normally does, then you get a login screen without having to restart the game. Has that always been there or is that the new feature?
    Don't mind me. I'm just passin' through.

    IIRC that never actually existed, it was just a non-functional sketch/mockup of how it would look like and work, built out of already existing game assets, if it got actually implemented.

    "All things point to that they didn't play to win, but for the game itself and to play well. ... Later in their evolution, they forgot all about playing and having fun. When their corrupted minds only cared for what new ways they could gain power, there was no room for the simple things in life."

    Think they needed artists to finish it up, no? So, there's their time to think of if they're busy doing other things... Maybe we'll get it when new engine comes out. (aka never ;D;D;D;D)

    I actually remember using that in 2002. For what it's worth.

    think the calender got messed up by the Mayans, think when Romans rebuilt it were already passed the '2012' they thought due to not factoring leap years but thats chat in the pub with a few beers included.
    so free pinch of salt included. :P

    Pretty sure it's always been there.
