Anyone know what that means?

Never had a single problem with Guild Wars, yet tonight I try to log-in and get "Sorry can't connect Code=072, pleae try again in a few minutes". Well two hours later it still won't connect!

Anyone?

Just checked, there's no mention of a code=072 on the support site at all!

I'm not being vindictive, but I'm glad it's not just me.

Cheers Chief! I never thought of that as I've never had a problem. It looks like a server side error going by that thread and not something on my end.

I'm still getting the problem, though, trying to get onto the European server.

Anyone else in the European side still having the problem?

Glad it's not just me.

Had a hell of a time in UW, took a break and watched a movie, get back and getting the Code-072. Wasn't sure what was going on.

I know they were supposed to be doing some Network work, or someone related to Anet was, checked the website and it's no longer listed. I have to assume they are done, I just hope the result isn't the Code=072 we are all getting. :P

Update...

Not sure what the problem was but I'm back in game now.

Hi everyone,

We're currently investigating this issue, and hopefully we're closing in on the cause. If you are experiencing the Code=072 issue at the moment, you can assist with getting this nailed. Affected players should:

1. Click Start -> Run

2. Type in “netstat –a” without quotations

3. Copy the results and give them to us by sending a ticket to the Support team

Hopefully it'll be fixed shortly.

Hi,

I just got error 72 also. Running guildwars with -image seemed to have fixed the problem. I downloaded 5 files and I could log in again. It was either that or the nice people at Anet fixed the problem while I was reading this thread.

Tried the netstat -a thing, didn't copy to clipboard, still got code 72ed.

Used -image command, didn't help.

Restarting computer worked though. Logged in on first attempt.
