Very long load times??
 

It's taking five times as long for the game to load for me than it used to. Anyone else having this issue?

No, everything seems normal - if anything its quicker than classic zone times :p

Not zoning, actually loading the game up

Some people with performance issues have been able to resolve it by renaming (or deleting) the eqclient.ini file and then starting the client again and having it create new one

SSD = extremely fastest loading evah
