Is this a problem?

Hello,

When starting SL, we're sometimes being greeted with a 'Loading...' message as the stats and blog info are downloaded. Sometimes this can take quite some time. I imagine alot of new users are waiting at this screen thinking it's the game that is loading and not just stats.

I think it might be wise to just display an image of the SL hand or something, just like the old days, then when the stats finally arrive, SL can then display them.

Or maybe just change the message to something like - 'Loading statistics... Press Connect to continue '?

Just an idea! :)

2k, that's a great suggestion - I'll pass it onto our web team. Normally, the login screen should load right up, we are currently experiencing heavy load, which would cause it to load slower. Please watch the blog for more information.
