Launcher takes forever to connect and forever to boot up EQ2.

[Creutzphel]

<p>I downloaded the launcher on the website, installed the game, and for some reason whenever I try to log in on my computer to the launcher, it takes literally 2-3 minutes to connect to the launcher.</p><p>Then, after I hit PLAY, it takes about 4-5 minutes on my computer(literally, timed it) before it actually boots the game.</p><p>I have a very good computer, and I installed the game the same way on my girlfriends laptop which isn't as good as my computer and it doesn't do this.</p><p>Anyone else have this issue?</p>

<p>I have the same problem, yet my friends don't.</p><p>Edit: I'm logging in right now and it's taking almost 5 minutes to login and get to the patcher/updater screen with the Play button. This is ridiculous.</p>

<p>Same problem here. I called them and they told me to download the launcher and the whole game, I waited 7 hours for the 9 GB game to finish, went to play it and got an error when i tried to launch it, cant play it now. Im furious.</p>
