Ok, half the people in my alliance are getting mass err 007s at the same time and we're all lagging, being kicked back, freezing up, and teleporting.

Seems eerily familiar to the incident a couple weeks ago. Anyone else having this issue?

We all know it's happing at the same time cuz we're all on vent together. We had 4 seperate trap teams in Underworld and all experienced the same thing at the same time.

Lag and warping about all over the place in Aspenwood a little while ago followed by a 007 then an 013 if that helps.

I don't know exactly what it is but i can't even log in to GW now. The lag started at the courtyard for myself and my guild mates. I then recieved messages from the other team to gank the opposing team who had capped because they were also recieving poor lag. Just whats going around I guess.
Good luck trying to get on.

Yeah I know whats wrong, anet needs to get more servers during the special events. This just started a few mins ago, I lagged out of an Alliance Battle, error 007. Man anet is messing up lately. This game is not running as smooth as it used to be. Common sense tells you, when you host an event there will be more people on as usual, get more servers that can handle the traffic, yes it cost more but, in the end will be worth it to their customers.

Agree.. But really, its not Anets fault, its NCSoft... They run the servers. They need to make them higher powered, or increase their switch bandwidth.

More than likely, its the ISP(s) that the servers are connected to. Happened once before.

I've been trying to master Raisu all day today and it's literally impossible with all the err7's I've got. Tried about 5 times and somewhere in there I eventually get disconnected. And quite frankly, it just pisses me off.

98% of error 7's are not server issues. These are errors received when network lag drops the connection. There's been an issue with one of the ISP's the servers are hosted on. These are out of Anet's hands, but they can pressure the ISP to fix it as soon as possible.

Run the GW network diagnostic tool and submit the results to Anet support. It will help them track down the issues and fix what they can on thier end.

Thank you for giving some recommended action. I had never had recurring lag issues up until 2 days ago. I have sworn off teaming with others because I do not want to screw over the party with yet another err7. I will run the diag tool tonight and look forward to a happy ending... I am mostly perplexed that the problem is soo short, but yet soo catastrophic. I can deal with lag (have learned to cope with it), but err7 screws my friends that I team with. I hate the thought that they would have been better off with a hench or even worse a PUG.

p.s. I do not see the connection from the "Special events" to the lag issues. My err7s started late on Sunday and continued to last night. So the ISP server issue noted above, makes alot more sense to me.
