The old login screen/launcher was beautiful, with amazing music. After ANet moved to the new launcher, you could access this login screen with the -useoldlauncher command line argument, but this option was removed in August of 2012. Please bring back this option.
[Suggestion] Bring back old login screen
HOLY CRAP. why did they even remove that?? It looks AMAZING

At some point they had added a color key for the password so that if you remembered the color sequence , you knew you typed your pass in correctly. That was my favorite part of login.

But would it look as ‘cool’, if it had all the announcements and links, etc. on it? People already comment on how there isn’t enough information on the Launcher.
10/10 would login again.
This seems like a good excuse to direct everyone to this little gem of a webpage. The original log-in screen may be long gone, but it will never be forgotten.

Nice. Does it go through the whole sequence?
If only… I’d LOVE to get this back!

Game would be empty because no one would go further into the game from this screen
Please Anet. I miss the old login with a fury that burns hotter than a thousand suns.
not that it is not cool, cause it is, but i think the old login screen just falls under the “Cool but Impractical” trope

I loved the old login screen too. While waiting for betas to start, I would sometimes load up the screen to listen to the music and stare >.>.
Well, I sure don’t want a launcher that takes up my entire screen. However, introducing the OPTION to choose this launcher would be a nice addition (though not at all necessary).
May the Six watch over us. And come back to Tyria soon.
They used to have the option with a command in a gw2.exe shortcut. It was “useoldlauncher” I believe.
Miss that option..

Agreed. They should bring this back.
Gone to Reddit.
This log in screen was my favorite part of the betas. It was a great first taste of the game.
Please bring this back! I didn’t have this game when that log in screen was on and I only found out today, and it looks amazing! PLEASE ARENA NET! PLEASE BRING THIS BACK IT IS AWESOME!!!
I would really love to have this login screen back!

I want this two, at least as an option.
My client is on auto login and i never read the stuff there, as it is just half a second after login into account to start of the game.
I have just a loop of the logo from that as my desktop.
Nostalgia…
