I can get into the login and character selection screen. However, once I select any character and try to play I sit forever on the "connecting" until I get the error: "Error connecting ..... try to login again..... If this persists there may be a network error. yadda yadda (216.107.240.216:6112)"

The IP address turns out to be the playNC game server and a tracert shows dead returns after my comcast backbone connection (I'm obviously on comast

). So are any other people with comcast getting the same problem or am I having a local routing issue?

[edit] Well, now I can't even get into the character selection screen. I also tried to go to the main guildwars site to send in a trouble ticket and can't do that either. www.guildwars.com brings up "unable to connect". I'm on hold with comcast while I simultaneoulsly try to open an online ticket with my ISP.

I can get to ncsoft.com website, but selecting guildwars North America simply times out. So, it seems it is a complete routing problem between GuildWars play/login/web server and whoever is doing the peering between them and comcast west coast connection using te-0-0-0-0.mclean.va.comcat.net backbone route.

[edit2] Received comcast trouble ticket, updating a response since their canned "we have no listed area trouble in your region". Sent traceroutes and pings of various NCsoft web servers that I can verify with problems. I also have multiple computers and none of them load now.

All Traceroutes show, at least for me, all routes to any NCSoft north american web sites are down. However, if I use a proxy from aournd the world all is ok (i.e germany)

I had this same error this afternoon, and I called my isp; it turned out they were experiencing some problems indeed with some routes. Why don't you give a try?

I too am using Comcast (NH), and am having this problem.

For me, it's just Elona that's causing problems.

ditto for me.

I'm on Comcast.

I can't get to www.guildwars.com. I'm having trouble connecting to the game, sometimes logging in, sometimes loading zones.

My friend (who doesn't use Comcast) is having no such issues.

Grr,

Comcast, CA, got two comps, both with the same problem, 20 minutes later one comp was finally able to load...other comp still won't load >.>

Tried logging my character on the comp that was loading properly...not letting me log now O_O

Seems like it's only PVP Areas as well...Loaded up different account, was at a nightfall city, tried to go to RA, and it crashed again >.> CTRL ALT DELETED before my character was stuck at RA lol

GW is f'ed up

I have Comcast as well, but I am not sure that it's Comcast's problem. I tried other characters from the same account and they show up in town just fine, but when I move them to certain towns (Lions Arch, Shadow Nexus...), then it does the same thing again where it won't load and I get an error.

Comcast, MD. Yeah, Comcast is being very un-cool. It won't even let this awesome guild page I just found work. Ah, well. Better luck tomorrow.

Didn't see this thread anywhere when I posted mine. Comcast in NJ here. Only problems I experience are with GW game and site as well as any Play NC stuff. No other Internet problems aside from that. Constant error 058 or error 005 on three different comps.

I also seem to be getting a ton of ZoneAlarm reports on my main desktop.

Anyone else getting a long connecting message that won't load to the character select screen? It only happens to me sometimes, I just hope I didn't make the situation worse than what it already is.

For me the problems started about 30 minutes ago.

UPDATE
It's definitely a Comcast routing issue. I am able to login to GW and play normally if I run my company's VPN on my box.

Quoted from comcast.net forums,

"Quoting "FranM" from the CoX forums:

"I called Comcast and I was told that one of their nodes was down, and that could effect people throughout the country - anyone whose connection goes through that node. They said they are working on it and should have it fixed withing a day or so."

And I personally didn't know this was a user-to-user forum. 1-800-COMCAST it is."

at least comcast's suckiness is consistent, first with their tech support and defunctional equipment they gave us and now with just pure suck.

I sure do love 'em.
