We have made a change to the authentication system that we are hopeful will help resolve the current issues we are having. We ask that if you notice any type of change, that you please post here with the following information.

1. Did you use a world-specific launcher or the generic launcher?

2. How many times did you try to log in?

3. How many seconds or minutes between attempts?

4. At what stage in the login process (password authentication, patching, etc) did your error occur?
