Anyone else getting fairly frequent really bad lag spikes atm (euro or int server)?

Wondering if it's just me.

(i.e. whether I need to attack my router to fix it, or whether I can blame A-Net and wait for them to fix it at their end )

We're aware of an issue in Europe that seems, for the most part, to be affecting players in Germany and Holland. (And I imagine that could include players in the US who are playing in the EU districts, too, although that part is speculation on my part.)

The issue report emails have been passing my desk all day, and I know multiple people are a couple of teams are working to figure out the problem and resolve it.

We're very sorry for this inconvenience!

Thank God someone noticed this, ive been lagging in the last TWO months, and i email Anet support and they say that is my ISP problem, but this must be a server problem....i hope Anet fix this as soon as possible...or else players just quit the game...

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

I almost never get lag but today I logged off at 16:00 (GMT) after 20 mins of lag then logged back on at 20:30 with severe lag. This ceased at around 22:00.

I put it down to my ISP at the time but perhaps not if others experienced/are experiencing the lag spikes. My friend from Holland had no lag issues but I, in the same party, had frequent error 7s.

My entire guild had lag spikes (total cessation of movement) four or five times during one GvG today, and another guildie who was AB'ing at the time experienced the same thing at the same time. American servers.

I'm seeing a lot of lag here. I'm in New Zealand playing on american servers.

Say your physical location to make it easier to see where the problem is localized (such as part of the internet backbone having trouble).

I'm seeing mainly red on the status indicator, a few orange flashes. Whenever My ping is hovering above one second a lot of the time

Major lag spikes from the time that the last update was added. Same thing happened last weekend as well. Uk server, whole guild reporting the same issue and we are based across the uk, into Belgium and as far as Lebanon. ABing is a nightmare and trying to stay a survivor is a no go until it is fixed. Timed last set at 5 secs ok 2 secs lag, rinse and repeat.

I've been lagging massively for the last two days, ie. friday and saturday. It just makes the game unplayable.

I've never had any problems with this sort of thing before, and seeing as I can play all other games fine and my connection is fine, it's definitely not my isp.

In UK/Euro servers as well.

yeah i got hit by this, first sign was one guild member(germany) having severe lag during GvG on thursday, me and the other guild members were fine, on friday this issue hit me(UK) as well, experiencing ping jumps going from 70 to 30k about one every 10-30 sec, including multiple error7's during ab and general play.

Saturday i got up early and played GW fine from 6am to 10am(virtually no one was online) with little ping jumps 70 - 500, after which the issue returned and has been with me all day, making GW unplayable.
