Lag atm?
Toxic J
I'm in Belgium and I've had severe lag for 3 days now, everything like downloading and surfing the net works perfect but when I try to play guildwars I can barely move ingame.
Hyaon
UK and on Euro server, getting severe freezing/ping spikes. My Dutch and Italian guildy also have the same problem, totally unplayable. However it seems to be more playable when in the International District.
Shadow of Light
Australia, playing on American servers (but I see the problem in International too).
Lagspikes, game freezes, a separate area loading to '100%' without actually going *into* the area for long enough that I just give up and close GW... it's been happening since Nightfall came out for me, but I think it's gotten worse since Hard Mode was introduced.
Even though I'm on dialup, I never had this kind of trouble through Prophecies or Factions. Until now I had even pimped GW to my friends as an online game you can play fairly smoothly without broadband.

My lag problems started on Friday while I was in Unholy Temples, playing a korean team. I haven't ceased playing HA ever since but it's real annoying having to play only by clicking on our caller to follow him and blindly click T + skills when spikes are called, while I don't have an idea whether we're killing anything, despite this we took HoH several times.
As Gaile mentioned, I'm situated in Holland and this problem really frustrates me: not only because I only play PvP and good connection is needed for this but also because I've only been able to play GW Friday, Saturday and Sunday because I've been highly occupied by school affairs.

One OF my guild officers has been unable to play guildwars for about 4 days now, since his ping while playing is in excess of 2000. yet he can play CSS and BF2 with ping <100 and no lag at all. But whats weird is that he lives only a 10-15 minute walk from me, and i havent had any lag, and were on the same ISP.

Horrible lag - makes the game unplayable. On Euroservers and it seemed to kick in around the time of the last update

Been having bad lag since Friday evening. Ping's usually around 1-5K, sometimes a bit under and sometimes far over that.
The rest of my internet works just fine.

Swedish player, Europe servers.
Had it a few days (no problems with other games), basically it spikes from
+310 - +14.000 (usually between 350-1600 with a real averge of around 700).

For me (in The Netherlands) it's horrible, too. At least two other guild members, both in The Netherlands too, have been struck by massive lag spikes. The little colored dot in the bottom right is almost always red, sometimes orange, with my average ping in the thousands of ms. FPS is good, though. I also have -perf in my gw.exe shortcut, showing Tri (whatever that is), FPS and Bytes/sec. The third is normally in the thousands, but now often under one hundred. Surfing on the internet is fine, though and I tested my speed on a designated site. I tried it twice and it gave me a ping of 10.0 ms and 11.0 ms. I really hope this gets fixed quickly, as I really want to ab this weekend...

STILL lagging. Wow this crap lasts the whole weekend. Thanks for leaving the euro players out high and dry again. gg anet
Pyrea
My lag has got progressively worse.
Yesterday all was fine during the day (I'm in London UK) but by early evening to late evening my ping was averaging about 930-1400. After around 11pm everything was fine again with an average ping of around 300 or so.
Now this morning ping is around 1200. Basically unplayable
I hope someone from Anet is aware of these problems...

Sokitoem
Yeah its unplayable at the mo. South England... was working fine until friday... leads me to wonder whether this is just because of the double AB reward weekend? Which is gutting because I really wanted to up my title >.< Really frustrating me with all the spikes and rubber banding going on =(
urania
All fine in Slovenia for now.
jiggerjay

Holland on euro servers here, I tried to AB with pings averaging somewhere between 750 and 3000+. Sometimes everything stands still for 4 seconds.
Also when I logged on in the character select screen my characters were all naked and when I loaded to the guildhall the npc's were spinning (wtf).

Had to give up playing the game completely..... lags of 14 seconds in Fort Aspenwood.
Crazy thing is, whilst completely frozen, both my health drops and the amount of amber collected for the enemy is creeping up?? WTF??
Get this sorted quick Anet
Edit: UK servers. Nothing until today but now!!! F**kin* useless

Im british and everytime ive logged on for past 4 days or so its been red and ive been unable to move of the spot a lot of the time, my ping has been unbelivably high and ive been playing in the english districts obviously, im about to test BF2 just to make sure its not my net thats the problem.
Angelic Upstart
Been a heavy lag here for the last three days, South Coast UK average ping around 3-400, but today has been a sick joke my ping is 600 at best spiking to 2000 regularly, and once reached the 12k mark. Basically it is unplayble, been trying to get Razah for the last hour and half, makes pulling groups up there interesting 
vergerefosh
I've been getting really bad lag lately, and getting it occasionally before
England, on American Servers

i said earlier that i hadnt been effected by the lag.................till now. now i have a constant ping of 800-1500. First the BF2 stats servers go down, now the guild wars servers are playing up, im starting to thing gaming on a whole is becoming a waste of time.
Amiable
Same thing here, started lagging on friday, extreme lag sometimes freeze for 4secs or more watching my skills ping but not going off. Unable to gvg with my guild only play ha and even there I lag a lot I can play bf2142 and warcraft 3 without any lag like 20 MS.
Have had this before, (last time these lagspikes happened)
I think it has to do with routing.
From sweden btw.

Another person from The Netherlands here playing on the Euro servers. As many more have said in this thread: pings ranging from 500+ to 5K, regular disconnects, map travel not working at all. Rubber banding constantly.
The only time this weekend when I -did- get to play a decent game (pings around 250, high but doable) was late Friday night (between 0:00 GMT and 02:30 GMT)
Hope this gets fixed soon for the game is unplayable right now.

I have been suffering from very bad lag as well. 19k ping in beacons pearch. I am in England. A few others in guild have been having trouble as well.
This is made even more annoying due to the fact that I had planned on spending the weekend farming kurzick faction to get the title. I can't play cos the lag is so bad, so missing out on the extra points.Will they run the weekend again to make up for this?

TempusReborn
Getting it in England too - Never experienced lag normally but now its just unplayable atm - Perhaps its to do with so many people playing PvP this weekend (Alright I know unllikely)
Evil Moosey
Also having very bad lag, makes the game impossible to play. Never normally have any kind of trouble.
Patrick Smit
As far as i can resolve using a tracert I get high response times from hubs like amsterdam, frankfurt and dusseldorf, there are 7 addresses that have an average of about 60-70 ms, some high spikes are occurring at these addresses, but whether they represent the true path I don't know. After frankfurt I probably run into the server that doesn't allow ICMP echo responses.
I ran it several times now, and monitoring pings in GW as well. GW pings are always high (250+), pings in tracert are ok. My best guess that some German game server is the problem. (my host was 206.127.146.102)

I just played bf2 and that ran fine for me so its not my connection, my housemate said it could have something to do with the terrible weather we have been having in england i have expirienced a bit of slowdown with web pages loading etc but not major.

I had lag spikes since friday 29th, started in the evening.
Evil Moosey
I was fine until today. No problems with the event before today. So if that was the cause then it should have started friday night.
Elrodien
I have had nasty lag since Friday that makes the game totally unplayable. Playing other online games with no trouble at all. This means the trouble lies with the gw servers imo. pld sort it out soon Anet.
Gimme Money Plzkthx
I and my guildies have been getting crazy lag spikes for the past few days, and we're all American in American districts. I know a lot of people whom this has been happening to... this isn't just an EU problem.
TyrianFury
Same here, I normaly get a ping of 200 and on Friday I was getting around 900 and the game was really laggy but just about playable. Last night it was ok but today I have had pings from 3000-7000 and can no longer play. My internet connection is fine so I assume it's something to do with the games' servers.
My Location is UK and playing on Euro servers.
