Nothing has changed on that front. You must log out and log back in, in order to switch toons. Security measure, I believe.

Just a rumor.
Not likely to ever happen for security reasons as StarKitten mentioned.
Making you enter your password again is a verification step to prevent accidents.
Like you walk away from the PC to get a drink and your angry GF/Mom/BF decides to delete all your characters. They can't unless they know your password.
That said, I'd love it if they could upgrade to have it be a password box without going all the way out of game but I'm not holding my breath.

Well my main thing with it is I got 2 kids that play, and they love to change toons alot, and I hate having to put in the password for every single toon change. I dont give them the password, cause they are not allowed to play unless Im playing. Thanks for the replys!

Eh. I used to go with that being the reason, as well, but having been in "other" MMOs that don't do that, I just don't see the issue being that severe any more. |

Change to require a password for deletion as well as typing the character name, if that's the issue. *shrug*

Someone gets onto my account and deletes three thousand hours worth of characters, including ones from 2004 with badges you can't get anymore? That's bad. Yeah, you could require passwords for deletion.
Someone gets onto my account and mails off 3 billion worth of cash, 5 billion of "liquid" IO's, then strips another couple billion out of my characters? That's bad, too, and the passwords aren't going to stop it.
When you get a postcount as high as mine, you can assign homework. Your children's homework is this: practice waiting 30 seconds for something they want.

So you think you're a hero, huh.

My issue was them complaining about having to wait, It was mine having to get up every few minute to re-enter the password lol.

Yeah, it's always funny until I assign YOU the homework. "Read my '0 to 100 million inf' thread, do the first post, tell me what you get..."

I been away for a few months, but I remember there being talks about being able to change characters and whatnot without having to completely relogin. What ever happened to that, or was it just rumor?
