Well, I was able to get back to 1.5.2, so maybe it's all good. 1.5.2 was having some problems, though. Freezing for several seconds at the most inopportune times. Hope If I can fix that,
The Login allows the launcher you to hook up to the Internet so the game can retrieve your skin, allow you to play on servers, and verify that you are an actual customer.This wouldn't be a problem if you actually bought Minecraft.
No. That's not the reason. The new launcher is requiring me to login. I've played offline for about 18 months, but now I have to login. Unacceptable.
It is entirely acceptable since this prevents pirated copies of Minecraft from being used. This is well withing Mojang's rights to do so seeing as this is their product and you are expected to pay in order to play it.
It lets you play offline. You just appear to be doing it wrong.
I disconnected my computer from the Internet to test this, and in order to play offline you need to have logged in at least once and selected Login Automatically or else it won't let you play at all since it doesn't know if you payed or not since it can't check the website for your account. You are able to play offline of you have logged in and chose the launcher to remember you since if you have logged in successfully once before, then you must have payed, so it let's you play offline.

Okay. I already had Login Automatically on so I didn't know it needed to be on. I prefer having my games log me on instead of the other way around.
To connect it to the internet I need to carry it down the other end of my house...
And not to mention if I accidentally log out.
Cracked Launcher, Or Mojang fix it
If you couldn't connect to the internet at least once to download the game then wouldn't you be using cracked anyway? Plus... you could keep a backup on a USB drive in case of accidentally logging out.

Nope with the old launcher it let me copy the .minecraft folder from my laptop over.
Hmm. If I log in and then copy it on a USB or somewhere else on my Hard Drive it will still have me logged in?

OK I have done that And i'll try later today
The only problem is that i'm going to have to use the .jar since i'm doing it from Mac to Windows
Oh well Minecraft is Java after all

Very persuasive argument.

Anyway this is annoying me too, I have returned a a cracked launcher again, First time in years, Is this what you wanted Mojang?!?
Hey everyone, I'm back!
You CAN play offline. You just need to have the new launcher set to "login automatically.
But how do I play on my PC which is always offline?
Hey everyone, I'm back!
Connect to the internet once. Set it up. Disconnect from the internet. The end.
