Agreed with all above. I'm going to go play some other games... maybe, in the distant future, I might come back to NW. At the moment, I spawn the launcher, login, and guess what? NOTHING HAPPENS. Way to go guys. Great game you have here - just a pity it doesn't load.
This. Sooooo frustrating and annoying - especially if you've waited half an hour in a queue, only to sit and wait... and in my case, it frequently crashes to desktop just when it finishes patching. Ridiculous.
