[2020] :red_circle: Log Off to Character Selection screen implemented

You’re welcome.

Nope, not in the last decade at least, and likely not before that.

you’re probably remembering when the logout button restarted the client and dropped you back onto the login page. But it was still a full client restart.

/sigh

Jokes.

Just remember - anything that gets implemented that you like, it was all my idea.

Everything that gets implemented that you hate, that was Vily.

If you have not already, could you be so kind as to submit a bug report about this?

So you’re talking what, 2003?

Because I know it’s not been possible for over a decade. It’s not something which went away with the launcher.

I’m pretty sure it’s the Mandela effect in action that has people remembering it used to be possible.

Is someone complaining the feature didn’t exist back in 2005

I started in 2011, and had multiple characters. I know how it was not to use the launcher

As per my linked forum post (which was an edit, a short time before you posted your reply. So it’s easily possible you didn’t see it) it wasn’t there in 2005. Someone did mention it having existed before, but being buggy and then removed.

So it looks like I was wrong about that. Of course, many of the people claiming it used to exist aren’t 15 year vets

It didn’t return you to the login screen. It restarted the client. There’s a difference between the two. A fairly significant one, with the way it worked.

With the way authentication works, the token used to auth you would, most likely, be expired. The launcher would have to give you a new one to get you in.

And by all accounts, buggy as hell
