It’s the Little Things…
Improved login times.
We've discovered that a very significant chunk of time is spent during logon to read and calculate your skirmish stats. Instead of doing it during logon, do the calculation after you login, as you play. This should allow some characters who have been unable to login due to a timeout to get into the game. The Skirmish Stat window will not have the right data until all the processing is complete (probably a few minutes after you log in).
