already logged in?

Is the bug back or am I being hacked?:p

I would say it depends on how long it's been happening and whether you're getting any other errors. I believe what happens when you get the 'already logged in' error is that your character I'm the game is still loaded even though the game is closed, so it sometimes takes a while for you to actually 'log out'. It tends to clear itself up relatively quickly though, from my experience, within 5 or so minutes. There are times when it's being super stubborn and might take 10 or longer, but those are rare instances.

I would say I doubt it's hacking since even if someone did know your login info they likely couldn't log in on another computer while the account is already logged in (because it's already in use), but I don't actually know if being logged in prevents you from logging in on another computer, or if it would boot you on the first computer and log you in on the second.

Happens to me some times but it started after they did the log in que thing for who will load it first where they let more active people in game first

This was actually mentioned in the patch notes, idk if it was Harrowstorm or Dragonhold or maybe a tiny bit earlier. It’s intentional to get the message in order to prevent you from accessing the server too quickly. A lot of times this is frustrating because it extends the time until you can get back into the game when you crash in a raid.

As the server gets more unstable, they put in more bandaid fixes.
