Don't know if this has been reported yet or not but the switch toons is now even more annoying.
Before you could just log out and log back in to switch toons. But now when you do that, it says invalid user name and password even though it is definitely correct (I even typed it in one key at a time like a 80yo first time keyboard user).
So now you have to completely exit the game and reload it. Annoying much.
Please cryptic, fix this and/or put in a switch toon button!
Encountered this very thing just now. I don't know if it's some sort of bizarre bug or an intentional method of throttling people at login, but it is quite irritating to me.
Cryptic -- if this is intentional, then you are not serving your customers by making it MORE troublesome to log in and play.

Fix plz. Kthxbai.
Making you log out and login to the game again from the launcher makes sense with F2P coming.... its a way of giving balance and fairness to login.... If for some reason there ends up being a need for a login queue, forcing players to login again from the launcher would force them back in the queue thus giving someone else a chance to play instead of allowing that person to just switch to another toon and keep playing which wouldn't be very fair to other players.

Yeah, that's great, except that Gold players, like myself, were promised priority login. Balance and fairness don't enter into the equation.

Did you notice the new check box on the launcher indicating what account type... (e.g. Cryptic/PW) to select?. Once I selected the correct value, I had no problem logging out/in with multiple characters this morning...

I did; in fact, I read the applicable information regarding both types of accounts before I logged in last night (Thursday evening). I had no problem switching toons in order to re-doff at that time.
Friday morning, I ran into this throttle, or whatever it was.
