Alright, tonight I have actually been getting some uncomfortable lag in-game. I rarely get lag, unless there's a huge update that everyone's d/l at one time. Tonight, I can't explain it, though. It's not my internet before anyone jumps on that, as all pages seem to load fine, and other online games I have seem to have no lag.
How can you tell it's net lag and not video/crappy system lag? Simple. If you're moving, or in combat, or activating a skill, and then it seems like everyone just stops, stands there and just looks at each other, while your skill seems to be in a constant loop of activating, but you can still look around, that's net lag. That's what's happeneing to me. No err 7's, yet, but I think I'm just lucky there.
This lag is getting old

heh heh, indeed you are. Since the game is now unplayable for me, I'm just letting it sit idle while I browse here. I'm keeping track of how often I get DCd...so far I'm up to 12 within this hour.
floppinghog
got ridiculous spikes now and disconnects from either friend list or both and my kicked off. its not me and i know that for a fact. half the ppl who say oh it could be your hardware are dumb shits, for one hardware doesnt "SOME DAYS make one game unplayable, now does it??
its them and i want it fixed. just like anyone else who has the problem here on the east coast (which seems to be a common issue now)

I'm not saying this lag is of non-existent (as I have experienced it myself also) but I wouldn't pin it ALL on ANet as of yet.
The people that are getting bombarded with Err7s, can you guys provide some info? i.e. Location, ISP, wireless/ethernet, router? - Not that I know anything but maybe someone quite knowledgable in this area can provide some insight.
I've experienced 4-5 Err7s between Sunday and now (but I've been running some big downloads, that might've been a reason).
Location: Toronto
ISP: Rogers 6.0 MB Cable
Ethernet
SMC Router (I hate this router so so much)
So far the lag/Err7s I've experienced havn't been really "extreme" or anything.
I'm just suggesting we provide some useful information instead of flooding this thread with whining (not that all of you are)

I'm getting insane game lag right now playing Factions. It's completely unplayable. I've checked with my ISP for outages or other problems, I've speed tested and I've even tried other multiplayer games, none of which shows evidence the problem is on my end.
This is one of the few times I've experienced lag with GW. I noticed one other player complaining of bad lag at the same time, although we seemed to be the minority as no one else seemed to be bothered.

And it's not so much that this happening that I'm pissed over. I'm pissed because no one from their end is acknowledging it outside of the default cop-out tech support replies.

I wouldn't pin it ALL on Anet....if it wasn't ONLY GW that was giving me problems...and if these problems weren't nonexistant one day and then rampant the next. Didn't anybody that blames it on hardware ever notice that droves of people end up having the exact same problems at the exact same times?

wow! the err 007 faeries sure are busy tonight!
6 err 007's in the past 10 minutes. sometimes i can't even get past the character screens.
for me i can tell when it's my own network having connection problems. In those cases I can not immediately log back into GW and have to restart the client to login again. I don't know if it's because my modem/network is renegotiating the dsl connection or because the something has to be reallocated for the client.
however, when the fault is not my end, I can immediately re-login or attempt to login to gw, even if only to get booted out via another err 7.
a lot of the time i also run ftp, http as well as other downloads and chat programs in the background and GW will run just fine. It's pretty easy to check if transfers via ftp have gone down as well when i'm hit w/ an err 7. so i pretty much always know if it's my dsl connection reseting, or some other network issue along the way.

Seriously, I'm tired of lagging 2 into matches in HA only then to error 7'ing out. Tired of lagging all over the place, in RA, hell just even standing in town!

This issue has been going on for so long now, and it is getting worse. It seems like every time they have one of their "events" it really flares up. The first 6 months I played this game, I never experienced an err7. Tonight I had over 15 in just over 2 hours. If they don't do something about this soon, I'm not giving Anet any more of my money, thats for sure. As far as having people try to fix the problems, I have seen so many supposed know it alls give out their end all opinions, yet the extreme lag and err7s are still happening. It has been so bad the last couple times that the game is not even playable. AND STOP FREAKING TELLING ME MY PC/INTERNET/MODEM ARE CAUSING MY ISSUES!! 
They aren't. I can play any other game online just fine, look at web pages, whatever I want while this is happening, except play Guild Wars. If they aren't going to fix it, they should at least give us an explanation as to why it is happening. Not like it will really help or anything, but...

No lag here, maybe the server in your area is having some issues, wait for a few days and see.

why are you so mad at me for sheesh -.- I just suggested that instead of complaining, posting some info might actually be better because when anyone from Anet actually looks at this thread (if they do) they won't have to read thorugh pages of posts saying similar things...If this was happening to EVERYONE then I would completely pin this all on Anet, but it's NOT happening to everyone.. so that means it's Anet + certain ISP or locations... or something like that.
FOR THE PEOPLE THAT CAN'T COMPREHEND WHAT I'M SAYING -- I'M NOT DEFENDING THEM, THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH ANET'S END.
I like what the above guy just said... 1 sentence, plain and simple.
Oh and I think the people that aren't experiencing heavy lag/Err7 bombardment should also kindaly provide some info(ISP,Router/Wireless,Location,etc.).
Goodluck to everyone, hope this lag clears up for everyone soon
saphir
just wondering what this trace means..
is there some major rerouting going on over the net?
i ran a trace to Diag.ArenaNetworks.com
which goes from the west coast -> kansas city -> new york -> bounces around NY -> Frankfurt Main -> then fails trying to reach 206-127-146-41.plaync.com
anyway, it's a lot of fun tonight, err 7's every 2-5 min while i'm chatting happily away on secureIM, browsing the net, streaming videos, etc. hopefully everything will clear up soon
damn those err 7 faeries!

I, personally, have not been having any problems. My graphics card is almost the worst thing ever in the history of the planet, so once I turned all of my settings as low as possible my lag almost completely stopped. Any trace of lag I have now I am certain is from my graphics card and nothing else.
However, things have been glitching like crazy and I am not sure this is to do with my graphics card, as it has happened today only. For example, groups of enemies have been hitting me from across the map. Not even in my range on the minimap. A guildie also was having severe issues with err 7 all day yesterday. It was happening roughly every 30 seconds-4 or 5 minutes. He was helping another guildie with Gyala Hatchery, and he err 7'd. The guildie he was helping said 5 other people in the mission err 7'd at the exact same time he did.
The same thing happened to me a couple of months ago, and when it was happening to me, it was happening to many, many other people too (they were posting about it here and every time I managed to connect back in, there were many, many unhappy people in TOA). I (we) got told at that point that it was on our end, not GW. I have a very hard time believing that.

Not to mention I've been relatively lag-free for the 8 months I've been playing, then I suddenly experience severe lag issues at around the same time everyone else does?
One of three things:
a) Coincidence
b) My PC is a hypochondriac
c) Anet is experiencing lag issues on their end
Please circle the correct answer.

The people that are not having the problem, that tell us to just suck it up and wait...I bet they wouldn't be saying that if THEY were having the same problem. My bet says that they would be right here, "bitching" right alongside us.
But anyways...
Just for the sheer hell of it, I did a full system cleanup today...scanned for viruses, adware. Defragged. Reset my modem. Then reinstalled GW. No help whatsoever.
I then contacted my ISP (Verizon) and was told just what I figured. No problems detected.
The problem is not on my end. Whether it is on Anet's end, or somehwere in between...who knows. All I know is that I hope it's fixed soon...
Oooh! Oooh! Ummmm...*spends 5 minutes thinking*
"B"?!?

Just adding my name to the long list of people with lag. Been happening since the preview event. At first I assumed it was just the volume of traffic on ANets side with everyone downloading the update, but I was still getting lag yesterday. Hopefully it'll clear up soon.

I've gotten about 15 error se7ens today , pretty annoying considering I was trying to farm uw which = -15k --;;. It's not my computer and my isp is fine , really I wish anet would work on something towards a solution .

Seriously, the lag is VER bad tonight. What is going on!!! Online games arent suppose to lag at all let alone so bad that they cant be used.
Nexus Icon
And yet again, ANet behave like ostriches, sticking their heads in the sand and hoping we'll go away.
Up until about 8 weeks ago (4 weeks ago the lag got REALLY bad), I had had very little if any lag at all whilst playing GW, and I've been playing since the WPE, first on US servers, then on EU servers.
Now I very rarely completely disconnect and get error 007, but get rubberbanded a lot, but last night I got disconnected from the friends server and then 007ed.
And what happens when I get network issues with a game?
I stop playing it, and I bitch to my friends about how shitty the connection issues are with GW at the moment.
And as most of my friends are gamers, I'm guessing that this puts a lot of them off of buying the game, and I'm guessing a lot of them tell THEIR friends not to bother with GW.
Pull it together ANet, you're going to start losing custom VERY quickly.

Currently still getting error 7's , it's not very funny anymore i've lost so much money tonight so i'm calling it a night from ToA . I can't even hang out in a town now for 30 minutes without having a very long stall or just getting another error.

im from south africa, on a regular day i get next to no lag and i can play without problems, maybe some rubberbanding but its never too bad. the only time i get err7 is due to our lovely ISP: Telkom.

on saturday a friend of mine couldnt gvg properly and got about 5 err7s within 1 hour and i wasnt lagging at all. the next day i was getting THE WORST GORED ENGINE LAG EEVER. severe rubberbanding, REGULAR 10s delays oh and err7 galore. i found out that the delays happened at least twice in a minute and i had no idea what was goin on around me everything was teleporting around. I cant even farm properly because when i aggro stuff they stop in their tracks and then rubberband me to my death. horrible, i thought it was the weekends problem so it would end soon - WRONG!!1!1
the next day it was just as bad, and the next and today. i minimized gw to read this post and when i went back there was error 007 waiting to meet me.
this situation is especially shit because i took leave this week and i get greeted with the absolute worst lag ever. its not my side cos CS Source and a few other games work perfectly. i ran anti spyware, defragged and ran -image on gw to decompress the files and the lag remains. they BETTER fix this lag sometime soon or, as mentioned before, they will lose most of their customers. my goal of bein a millionaire before nightfall might not come true due to my week off from work being so laggy. anet has to stop with all these utterly useless events. the first few were ok but now they're going overboard. they are even planning one for this weekend. its causing too many downloads and GOREDENGINEing up the game for everyone else.

Well let me add my name to this list. Up until yesterday I could count on one hand the amount of 007's I have had since starting GW. Since then I have had more then 5 times the amount. Yes we have run every diagnostic out there and done everything else everyone has suggested. Its not *our* end. It is definitely a GW Server side issue.
At this point GW is unplayable for me. I usually last 3-4 minutes before getting err 007. This usually entails a lag spike where I sit for a couple minutes not being able to move and then I either snap out of it or 007. I have also had 058 and numerous other errors.
I just hope they figure out what the heck is going on soon! I need my fix!
~Edit, past 007's where our internet providers fault. We have DSL and Cable and I get the same issues on both providers.

Just to add my two cents but since the Nightfall preview, I have had an insane amount of lag. I mean, not just annoyance level but at levels where I can't move for like minutes at a time.
Sorcha ravenlock
Add me and my hubbie to the list too. We've been playing fine until the update after the Nightfall weekend. Now we lag and 007 every 10 minutes or so
We are in Ireland, if I read this thread correctly, other people with the same complaint are from other parts of the world. So I can't see how the problem lies on our side... I hope Anet will fix it soon.

Add my name to that lag list.
I couldn't do anything with me lagging every 5seconds last night and the same thing this morning. They kept giving me the 007 message but my connection is fine. I even took off my cable connection from my router and plug it directly to my computer and still the same. I wouldn't really mind but 2 days of unbearable lag without any news about it is just ridiculous.
Just came from WoW and yes their servers isn't perfect either but atleast they give you updates not just on events but the current technical problem they are having and not just blame it on my ISP.
One question, is there an official GW forum?
