I just did my first Alliance Battle tonight. With TS active, I was getting
constant lag. Once I shut it down the game ran fine. Wonder if it has
anything to do with your problem?

I'm going to fool with it and see if I can figure out what the problem is.
I have a USB headset now, don't remember having this problem before.

I have to agree, the lag problems and massive Err=007 have been happening since the begining of the tourney in Germany. Over the weekend alone we had quite a few guildies all kicked off at the same time. I also experienced some lag issues, but never did get the Err=007. Not sure if this is due to the last update, extra traffic or what, but I don't think it's an end user thing. Even as late as yesterday we were still getting Err=007, and this was in Tyria as well as Canthan.

I know its not my side because I can log right back in after the err7 and continue (or restart, I should say) whatever I was doing.

Sometimes I save myself by restarting my modem VERY quickly.

It might just be the connections needed for the Tourney, but when you think of it, how many people actually had to connect during it?... well.. it might just be the Tourney overall, but now that its over, the lag should be over as well (its not).

i've been getting quite a few err 7 lag discnonects this past week. never had a problem before except when the equipment at my local routing station was failing. last night, err 7 about ever 2 minutes. been getting huge lag spikes on missions too, nothing more fun than standing around w/ a 45 sec delay on your actions while watching everything happening around you in real time

i'm usually connected to the net w/ several apps at once, so i know it's not my net connection. on a side not, using TS causes gw to lag for me often, vent does not

haven't had much lag in the 9 months I play this game.
had maybe 5 err7, and 1 day when EVERYONE in towns was complaining about lag, a real server issue I think.

Occasional lag doesn't bother me. These rampant err7's that make accomplishing anything, or helping someone else impossible annoy me to no end. Anet not acknowledging the issue annoys me SO much more than the first two.

Like others have said, it started at the time of the last special weekend.

I will, unfortunately, give up trying to play GW if the issue is not fixed soon. Something I'd hate to do, but logging on and not being able to do anything besides sit in GW because you will err out as soon as you start something is not such a fun game. Makes me sad

Who WOULDN'T lag bother?

I have experienced more lag and error 7's in these past few days than I've ever had in the last several months of playing. I hope Anet gets these server issues resolved in time for the release of Nightfall. Don't think anyone would want to buy a new game and play it, knowing it will lag.

I wouldn't mind downtime for server maintenance if it'll get the job done.

If I am not so lagged that being there is pointless - GW ASSUMES that I am going to lag to the point of pointlessness (even if I am not) and just boots me... If I had nuts they would be bleeding I'm sure >_<
THREE error 7s today... THREEEEEEE!!!!! >_< And thats in the total of 1.5hrs I was on at various times.

That's me.

I'm lucky to have hardly any lag issues, even when I had dial-up last year it was absolutely lag free. Well, sometimes I will have HUGE lag spikes, like when it took 2 minutes for each message I typed to show up in the chat box and teleporting all over the place. A couple days ago I had all these err 10's though..But for the record I've only gotten 4-6 err7's in my entire gameplay.

=======================

I wish to find out if they are any others out there like me, loves to play Guild Wars, but is plagued out the dreaded lag beast.

For myself, I discovered that during early mornings, around 5am ~ 9am (GMT +8:00), there is no lag, no lag spikes. But during afternoon, or evenings, the lag is horrible, loading screens while map zoning can take minutes instead of the usual 10 to 15 seconds.

This does not stop me from playing Guild Wars though, my work requires me to wake up early, so I play a bit during the mornings before I head off to work where the connection is smooth and lag free.

=======================

Are there anyone else out there in Riverside Inn who shares similiar experience with me?
It seems like a connection issue, but this will always help:

http://forum.sof-guild.com/showthread.php?t=5100

It's a file that de-fragments a single program, instead of a program that de-frags your entire computer. I've used it, and after about 20 minutes of testing (haven't had a good opportunity yet), it seemed like things had cooled down for me.

Hope this helps.
