Texas here... lag is horrible this evening for me too. Spikes in the 1500's at times.
And no, it's not my ISP or my connection. I validated that using 3rd party testing tools and other remote servers sniffing for packet loss.

Extreme lag today

I came in here to say exactly the same thing as AceeBlueEagle.
N. Texas, pings above 500 spiking to 5000+ every 30s. Not my ISP or connection as it works with every other game/application and has been validated using other methods. Been this way for about a week now, sure wish Anet would get on the ball and fix their problem.

I've already said I'm having the same issues on other threads, but I might as well add it to this one as well. Playing from US East Coast, average pings 500+, sometimes over 1000.. spikes usually between 1 and 3k are quite common, sometimes 5-10k.

I'm in the eastern US (Ohio), and have also been having the same lag problems also since the dragon festival started.
Since then, only 1 day was normal (150ms or so ping) but otherwise, pings range from 350-800ms, sometimes up around 1000-1500ms.
I'm fairly forgiving about stuff like this, but if the problem goes on much longer, I and many other daily players will end up getting sucked into another game while we occupy ourselves, waiting for GW to become playable again.
(And this lag is not related to my internet connection or PC; I can ping any other types of servers with a good response time, I'm getting my full 1.5Mbps badwidth of my connection, and my framerates are normal)

Having been playing fine this morning in England, was 5am so dont know if that helped

The strange thing is that the lag is gone today 
. The only thing I still get is 007 errors all the time and DC's. It's frustrating

I had horrible lag during last weekend at the beginning of the Dragon Festival. After that finished, the lag had completely disappeared all week. I played most of today fine without any lag. Now getting regular 5-10k spikes as of 6pm+(GMT, Scotland.) this evening on Euro Districts. (Not much better in Intl.)
BlackEagle
I had really bad lag up until the end of last weekend, then it pretty much cleared up. But as of about ~5.00 GMT it suddenly became really laggy again.
Diddy bow
Virtually unplayable for me atm in uk... 
makosi
I can't move around in European districts. I can't do anything. Error7 every 2 minutes.
I can use the International districts but not when I'm trading because Spamadan International is all spambots saying, "wts unide 7=5k ok."
It's obviously not my connection because the International districts are fine and multiple others (see above) are experiencing the same problem. It's been 2 and a half weeks of on-off lagging and errors and I'm sick to death of it. We're told its a routing problem in Frankfurt and that it's being monitored and resolved but the skeptic in me senses budget cuts or the priority lies on GW:EN and GW2.
If I buy the GW:EN and GW2 is this what I'll be paying for? Don't get me wrong, the connection is usually fine and this does make me grateful for the usually smooth performance but the time-scale of this issue is highly unreasonable.
When will it end? I'm rapidly losing confidence in the servers/routers and I believe others are too.

Same here as lady ana stacia,
It's unplayable for me, my game freezes up because of lag every 25 seconds or sooner..
some game freezes lasted up to 5 minutes and i have had several errors 7 and 19.
Didn't check my ping yet but will do next time.
Also in Holland btw
And it seems some people are unnafted by this as several guildies and friends of mine do experience lag but not to the degree that it's unplayable.

Spikes up to 70k ping, totally unplayable. No GvG ftl, this sucks really hard. Has been like this for over two weeks here in Germany, with some days inbetween where it was acceptable.
cebalrai
USA/Ohio, the game has had lag spikes every 30 secs of so for the past five days or so.
PvE is playable I guess, but PvP completely sucks.

GG, GW is impossible to play anymore.
Alexandria
I'm from Sweden and I just started lagging this afternoon. I can move for like 3 seconds, then I freeze for about 5. Can't do anything basically....GW is impossible to play for me =(
Mangione
Southern Italy here.
Bad lag... when I'm lucky I have about 1,5k avg ping, with spikes to 40k.
Monking and Interrupting are impossible with this latencies.
And just in case, this link from the biggest listed italian fansite is about the same problem
http://www.thelair.it/forum/index.php?showtopic=14432
Edit: The people in the link are having this problem since last 2 weeks or so, I've been experiencing this since saturday 14th

Loot Junkie
i tried to take advantage of the double glad points today and had unusually high pings and constant freeze-ups. its unusual for me to disconnect but i dc'd 3 times today while trying to play in RA. besides that, lately there have been way too many red pings and lags while playing.
MelisandeUtamaiden
I've just been able to get back on today after a week.
My lag hasn't been as bad as some of you on here, but its bad enough for me.
3.600 was the highest ping I've noticed today, but it acts like it should be higher
I'm just sticking to hm farming with a hero - I really wanted to do some runs today, but it is impossible with this kind of lag.
The people slide around, I'm rubberbanding like crazy, I'll freeze for a while, and by the time the skill even goes through to heal myself its too late
I'm about to go on maplestory, which isn't fun :/

the lag is pathetic....i just lost my dam survivor title 100k away from legendary....average ping is 1410, really cant believe this..all that work gone because of some stupid server lag...sigh..piss take indeed.
Serenitude
Southeast Ohio here, GW pretty much unplayable for me. Mostly rubberbanding, moving a few feet, rubberbanding. Battles consist of me clicking an enemy, activating a hex, the screen pausing for 20 or so seconds, and then me seeing the outcome of the battle and hoping I didn't die.
Also, I'd like to note that "unplayable" or not may be a matter of interpretation. Fairly bad lag may not bother a wammo as much, but it's made my Mesmer unplayable. Not only can I not intricately time interrupts, I miss the whole fight :-(
Totally unacceptable. I've never payed a thought of trying WoW, but I'm downloading the trial tonight. This is certainly not inspiring me to purchase more product from Anet.

I have been having lag problems since around the time the 2007 Dragon Festival started. Can hardly play during peak times.
I am from Western Canada.

I'm on west coast of the US, in Southern California to be exact. I've been experiencing the lag too since the 12th/13th. Pings jump from 300 to 2k to 10k, etc. Let's just say timing divine intervention is very hard. Please help us Anet!
Xiooua
I'm on the east coast, US. (Massachusetts)
I've had ridiculous lag spikes since around Thursday-Friday. I thought it may have been the double weekend event (which is odd itself, because I never have lag on weekend events), but now I'm having doubts. My ping is going from normal to spiking to 6-7k every ten seconds or so.
It's not like my game is unplayable, but I'm finding the time I spend in-game is more frustrating than fun. I did a mission with some guildies today and pretty much served no purpose since my spell casts all happened after the battle was over.

Arcane_Penguin
As i've posted in every other lag thread, my ping has dropped by more then half since the dragon festival
nooboguy
First time in recent memory where the lag has made GW unplayable for me, not just the occasional lag spike but persistently high pings, all day today July 15. I'm in the US, I tried both the US and Euro servers with the same problem, ping momentarily reasonable (300s) spiking repeatedly over 2000 every few seconds. Most members of my guild (mostly in the UK on Euro servers) reported the same problem, some with pings as high as 40K, multiple disconnects. Nothing wrong with my connection, played other games without any lag. Something's changed for the worse in the past couple of weeks.
stiffler
Gunna have to retire from monking due to rubbish lag, GW:EN isn't looking to good now
Tark Alkerk
wow, guild wars has actually gone past the point of basically unplayable (ie only being able to take a step every five mins), to actually being completely unplayable for me, i can rarely log in, (code 13) and when i do, i actually can't move. at all. not even the slightest step.
