So lets all bitch because my 50$ came with a bit of downtime. The servers have been up 99% of the time kudos to the whining. Once again gg.
Hmm you apperantly don't get the new releases unlike me. Oh yeah and I have the collector editon on one of my accounts. Oh I have 2 accounts factions and prophecies with 2 extra char slots on each one one CE. Can you please calculate that for me? Based on 16 months of course

Despite that you pay the money for a game... Just because you are unable to form a connection to everyone else who plays it is beside the point. You paid 50$ or 100$ if you got both games. But you paid that money strictly for the games. Nowhere on the package does it say "Includes Guild Wars game & guaranteed server time". So since you aren't paying for server time you do not have a right to complain. Now sure you can and most people have. However do not suggest you have the "right" to do it simply because you bought your game. Because there is nothing wrong with the game per say, the code for it is quite fine I'm sure.

Its a fine line sure...but w/e the servers are up, you know the ones I don't pay for.

I didn't actually get bothered by this server dropout. I have YIM so I could still talk to my girl and this thread was full of laughs.

First run into HA, we get to HA and BOOM. The whole team err 7 crashed out. When we tried to reorder we went to ID3; err 7 all. I more time, there was no ID3 when I launched. 5 of us got to the boat before I err 7ed again. Called it quits for that group (yeah, the one that got away story) and tried to log back in a little later. up to a half hour ago, I couldn't load into character screen. Hope they fix it soon but I've MMOed enough games not to get mad when this happens.

I wonder if this has anything to do with all the "Repairing Data Archive" slow loads I've been getting this week.

Looks at Phaern Majes: Someone needs to read his EULA...

EDIT: did manage to load into HA again just now. GG Anet server techs; nice save.

Ok how do u play without the server???? Cause I would love to know and I bet everyone else on this board is curious to know too? The game doesn't work without the servers. So you pay to have access to the servers. You need to let this go.

I must agree with what the other person said...I paid my money...I get to voice my opinion. We all get to express our frustrations and these forums give us that place. If it irritates you...that's a bonus. You get to read it and whine about my whining...gg Phaern, gg.

Lol I did edit it, after realizing that all you really buy is the client. However my point really is you don't pay monthly fees, and the down time is really less than 1%. I have no problem with people posting that it stops working, and maybe a bit of disgruntled comments. But seriously read through some of them, and you'll see alot of crap that really doesn't need to be said.

Thanks gg to you too... by all means post your opinion I can't stop you. Just as you can't stop me. And obviously my posts irritate people too so bonuses all around.

The server was down for what, and hour? That comes to like 2 cents woth of my money that I've paid for the game ($150 for the games/character slot/tax over the past 15 months). No wonder people are soo pissed.

People were complaining about err 58 in my group's vent I believe. I think this is the same issue; possibly something to do with different connection types or the way your Connection type recieves data. If you are still having this problem, by all means continue to post here. If you haven't done so yet, go to PlayNC.com and submit a tech support ticket in the Ask a Question section.

GL. I know, it can be a kick in the ass when others' problems are solved while yours seems to be on the back burner. Look this way though; if they solved all the Err 7s so quickly, then that first problem IS solved with you next on the list.

Umm, yeah, sorry about that everyone, but I just HAD to go take a shower. I know you all really wanted to play, but it had been so long since I'd been clean I felt I just had to shut part of the game down. Everything should be fine now, and I smell great! *bats eyelashes*

YEAH MAN, WHAT'S UP THAT DOWNTIME MAN. $50 FOR A GAME AND YOU GIVE ME DOWNTIME ANET? WHAT'S UP WITH THAT MAN? I WAS GONNA GET THAT NO REQ. MAX DAMAGE 15^50 CRYSTALLINE SWORD FROM ONE OF THOSE HIDDEN STASH BARRELS IN PRE-SEARING. I SMELLED IT. BUT YOUR SERVERS CRASHED BEFORE I GOT TO IT. GO RED ENGINE GO RED ENGINE GO YOU ANET

..for not having enough downtimes, because it's abnormal. I actually welcomed this server crash.

Some of the whining in this thread is ridiculous. Some people need to get out more or just go to sleep.

Trace complete.
The windows tracert uses ICMP packets which are also common in hacking/ddos attacks. The boxes that give you timeouts are most likely firewalls that block that kind of packets. Nothing to indicate a network problem.

Goooood question lol. If this had happened during double fame, there would have been e-riots in Lion's Arch.

What about the err 58 issue? Some people are sayign they are back up. Has the problem been fixed?

EDIT: I did not know the AB servers were down. TY for the info.

the game seems a bit laggy though.

Christ, people were upset enough about the error 15's and code 40's that kept happening for hours on the last day of double fame. I'm still convinced I could have hit r6 had that not happened. I had a great group and our balanced build was rolling teams, but for the love of god we couldn't stay connected long enough to get through scarred earth.

I went out and had a great time with my gf. We went to a huge bookstore and had coffee then we went out to dinner and came home and had hot chocolate. Thank you anet for allowing me to have a couple of hours back to discover I really like doing other things as well.
