Is it me or recently is there SO much lag its untrue?
I use an 8mb line and my computer can handle any game out there on the market, with EASE, but im lagging up on guild wars a lot recently, even if using henchmen.
Is this happening to everyone, or is something going on I havent realised yet with my setup?
What's With All This lag?

I also have an 8MB line and am also having horrific lag from time to time.
I personally put it down to my memory...I had to remove half of it when it went faulty and haven't gotten around to replacing it yet. Don't think it was too laggy before removing half though.

Well I have 2gb ram, 3.6 Pentium D dual processors, 512 graphics card etc. So it isnt the pc. And an 8mb broadband line.
Yet I lag. Not always, just recently its been coming and going when I encounter enemies.
I'm on the Euro servers if it makes any difference.

I have a 24Mb line.. Not getting any lag.. get one of those 
Seriously your line is more than sufficient.. The problem lies elsewhere.

Very little lag here.
(Now watch me get cord ripping out of the wall lag at a key moment)

I got a 'decent' computer, and a 756 connection (split 4 ways) yet even with us all four playing GW at once, none of us lag and have never gotten err 7.

I have lag once in awhile, but almost NEVER disconnect. My daughter and I share a direct wired DSL connection, and were doing Abaddon's Mouth with a PUG last evening. Lost one member early into the mission, and another right after the door. With 4 seals to go, I froze for half a minute, corrected, then disconnected. My daughter's computer is slower than mine, but she had no problem whatsoever. At least they were able to complete the mission with the 5 remaining members.

It seems that there are 2 different situations going on: (West?) USA and Australia has connection/disconnection problems, Europe gets extreme lags... gg anet :'(

No lag here at all, infact I can't remember the last time I had any lag while playing the game.

It's a lag fest for me + guild...6 Error 7s in 5 GvGs...

Here is my fps/bps for last night
Note that untill 3 days ago i had a stable 50ish fps with a 2 mb transfer.
As far as i know talking with friends the biggest issue is for ppl from europe playing on american servers (as i am) now if you post in this topic pls state from where/on wich server you play and if you have or not any issue
.
I honestly don't blame anet for my lag since of course they can't route a cable right from my house to the servers but something on the line isn't working properly and could be able to fix it for us :/.

I'm in England on a 2.2MB ADSL line and playing on the European servers. I'm getting no lag at all and a constant FPS of between 90-100 on max settings at 1280x1024x32.

I have no lag when playing on the American servers but varying degrees of lag on the Euro servers, not surprising since my ping to the American servers is about 200 ms compared with 380 to 450 ms for Europe.
I contacted Anet support and while dodging most of my questions regarding latency and interrupts, they conceded Europe has lag troubles late afternoon German time, since the Euro servers are ALL in Germany. Network engineering is looking into it. Incidentally, there's network maintenance scheduled on 7 Oct perhaps for this very reason.

yea ive been logging in slow i have the connecting screen come in when i try logging in and it takes forever. It used to take 2 seconds.

I always start lagging when there is an event coming up and they seem to prepare the servers. Now that they are about to change HA tot 6 vs 6 i think its due to that. Hope they will sort it out soon as many of my gvg members cant play gvg :S

Lagging at the start of a battle in PvP and PvE, only gets back to normal when i die, or have stood still for about 30-60 seconds... really bad and pissing me off big time.
Ikoma
even tho i checked my connections hundreds times i still have my bps jumping up and down from 1.5k to 100-120ish at this point i really hope network maintenance will fix this .v.

I'm usually one of the last people to complain about lag, but I lagged so bad last night that I dropped off twice, and frequently tried to cast spells just to be told that the target was invalid because whoops, it was already dead, I just hadn't been communicated that yet.
Eh. I leave for a while, write, drum, come back a couple hours later and it's usually good.

Then suddenly I start having this huge lag.

Been thrown off the game twice in 2 days, never had many problems before. Internet connection is ok since Venty stays on. And yes, I'm in that nasty hotspot they call European servers... :P

Yah I never complained about lag before because I never had any. But these last few days I've had it where I can't move, and everything stops, I can't use skills etc. Then sometimes a lot will suddenly happen in a few seconds and I can play again, but sometimes I get err 007, err 005 or err40. I never had err 7s before in my 14 months playing Guild Wars until this week.
I was at 9 wins in RA playing the monk when it happened last. Couldn't move for about 20 seconds and I was just thinking to myself that's enough time for everyone to die. When the lag was over I saw that I had died, been ressed, died again, and someone else had died with another on low health.
