I'm not sure if this is just an isolated problem on my end, but I thought I'd ask here. Since the last patch or so I've noticed that when clicking the WoW button on my desktop, the Launcher is taking much longer than usual to pop up. It used to be pretty much instantaneous from when I started the game, now it takes sometimes almost a minute before it appears. Anyone else happen to experience the same thing?

Now that you've mentioned it, yes, definitely. How odd.

Well, I'm glad it's not just me. Must be something on their end somehow, hopefully it'll be fixed soon. :3

Mine takes much longer, too. I thought it was my computer getting old, but I'm glad it's not the computer.

I'm having the same problem. And I also thought it was just my computer being slow. :)

Same here as well. Thought it was my new virus/firewall application. Seems to be affecting several people :-)

Necroing my own thread to say that this FINALLY seems to be fixed after the optimization today. :D I'm getting instant launcher pop-up now, it was really annoying having to wait 1-2 minutes previously.
