8-10 and I have a fairly high preformance PC. It really gets noticable if I even have a party, just henches work for making lag. Also I get booted nearly every hour 007 error

Lag happened...Even WORSE actually..WHen they were Streaming Factions to us...This is actually an improvement over the lag I got then...

But lag happens everytime they stream large files to you like they are now for Nightfall.

so the lag is just about a 1-3 week temporary thing?

people need to stop blaiming anet for lag, sometimes you get a bad connection, deal with it.

Unless you see 50 million posts on the forum saying OMG LAGWTFBBQ!!!1111, its probably a problem on your end.

no lag for me either, aside from the occational rubberband that i get when i use autorun for too long. if there is a line that i really dont want to run across by accident, i use the mouse to click to where i want to go.

it also really helps to let the auto updates stream in in the login screen. right after the big update last friday, there was an additional 100+ mb that i downloaded in the login screen before making my first paragon. and i dont have a highend system, my computer is almost 2 years old and my dsl connection is <1Mbit. but i dont run anything in the background and i dont run all settings on max.

Well, I just got an error=007 on 10th arenas game (which my team won w/o me). So, im pretty pissed. Give me my 1 glad point..

Arena.Net - PLEASE PLEASE fix your server connection/configuration/whatever. It's not my PC or my connection lagging and error'ing, it MUST be your connection/servers/etc.

Yea i get lag all of the time, but more so when i play factions. Prohecies isnt usualy too bad, but i tend to lag when i play factions. This is when i usualy just go into the international districts and i find it is not as bad. Although even game play i find it lags in both games, but once agian more so in factions.

Btw i did this system scan thing and it gave me this:
Processor AMD Athlon(tm) XP/MP/4 1325MHz
Display Card NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 4000
Memory 256MB
Operating System Microsoft Windows XP
Free Disk Space 41.81GB
Display Card Memory 128MB
Display Driver Version 8.1.9.8
DirectX Version 9.0c
Optical Drive N/A
Sound Card Philips Sound Agent 2
It said that my computer is able to play and someting about 65% above the rest or something
Is there nething i can do make it not lag so bad?
Ps. my internet is comcast

I have had horrible lag, especially since the around the time of updates with the stupid guildwars store. Have not had any problems until then.

Yesterday I thought it stopped because I could almost play an entire day without freezing but then at the end of the day it froze 2 times in a row. Today when I was doing a Mission, froze. I really hope something is done about this because I'm fairly sure this has nothing to do with my computer.
