Feel free to bash away at this, but I really dont care.
Do any of you guys play other MMORPGs. EVE, WoW, EQ2 ect....
Do you know that those games dont suffer from the same lag as this one is, at least not for this extended peroid of time?
Do you also know that you pay them a monthly fee every month to play?
Most of that fee they charge you is for server maintainace, bandwidth, better internet connections ect... They still charge you the same Retail box rate for the product, which pays for the product itself, but what about the fee's incured for all that I just mentioned. Anet's not charging us squat to play every month. So its only just that the level of sever stability is not as good as the others becaues if it was, they would be out of business in a month.
Everyone is so quick to jump on here and complain when things are not working right, but where are you guys when things are working right. Enjoying the damn product they made and keep going. Why doesnt anyone come here and start a 15 page topic about how thankful they are to have a good MMO with no monthly fees. Why not a topic to say how glad they are with the games status.
C'mon people, get a grip on the fact that your not paying to play this game every month, therefore, set backs like this are not grounds for you to complain on. You dont want lag in your games, go play a RPG sans MMO.

Offcourse the nonupdated bike gets stains on it but it will still function more then enough to use this should be the same for Guild Wars a great free game that can be played online but dont expect them to put down a better service then Blizzard.

people is complaining because gw never had lag (i play it about 2 years) and since 2 weeks ago european players are getting hard spikes of lag, what is causing this? well to be honest ive saw lots of explanations for it but for me its because servers are beeing used for gw2 or GW:EN betas or testing, lag started on europe but now some american players are getting lag too ... so what whe must do is wait for A-NET fix this as soon as possible ...
and still prefer gw with lag then WOW or other crap blizzard game (except Diablo2) without it. (yep i have WoW too and i consider it a good game compared with solitaire from windows)
ksalanpang
i couldn't pvp since last thursday or so because of the lag. I thought last night after the festival, the lag would be gone...gg to anet's server..i was guesting gvg..and ...no need to say. That was disappointing up until now for me....
Enix
US Midwest here - I was suffering from some 1000-1500 ms ping this afternoon (both towns and explorable areas, vurses 150-300 in the past). It started to get real bad during the dragon festival and hasn't recovered. Similar ping at my house and my girlfriend's (different neighborhoods, different ISPs, Cable vs DSL).
While we are on the topic of ping, Anet, how about fixing how Mesmers' interrupt skills, or rather lack of skills because you cant cast an interrupts with ping over 30 and the skill you tried to use has no effect but still charges energy and recharge time for "casting" the skill. Sigh :/ My mesmer is too hot to be a mule.
Also, small battle effects recently have been killing my framerate. Didnt used to do that at ALL. Dont know if the Splinter/Barrage build has too many effects in tight groups or if there is a netcode issue.

Haven't got that problem :P
Well I just got message from ANet to see if I could check my connection again. I haven't had much lag in PvE on the Euro server, I'll check out PvP some later but I think most of my (euro through frankfurt) lag is over.

Yeah, forget all this "only a European problem" talk. It's a problem everywhere with guildmates I talk to U.S., Canada, etc.
I'm in middle Tennessee, use only American districts. I have broadband, and I've never had a problem with this game, ever until this festival.
Lag started during festival weekend, and has only gotten worse. I thought it would improve when there weren't 100 districts in the monastery anymore, but again, it's only gotten to where it's completely unplayable.
I just keep hoping it's some software junk that crept in with the festival and that when the last quartermaster, game, or whatever is backed out of the codebase, that the bugs/memory leaks on servers/whatever the heck it is will go too.
Of course, it could be purely hardware related network/servers/routers that takes them weeks to track down, but I can hope, can't I.

Guildwars is totally unplayable for me today. Extreme lag is not the word.
I really hope they get this fixed soon. This has gone on far to long as it is.

Sadly, I'm reading about a FPS of 53 in a wistful fashion.
FPS: 13-16
Average ping: 12,000 to 15,000 (in Kamadan).
After getting bonded trying to clear out of town, was not even showing last/average ping -- am guessing this is not a good thing.
Was fine yesterday. Tonight (east coast Australian time) has been constantly lagalicious.

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 |
My guildy whose from New Zealand is also experiencing exactly the same lagg problem.
Also additional information, my ping is fine before I go into teams arena (ie: when sitting a round waiting my ping is green, no problems at all) but soon as I enter, bam 5-10k ping unplayable. My lag only occurs when i enter into PvP.
Please, please have this fixed for the upcoming double glad weekend we're a TA guild
NEOgeo
there is obviously soem holes in the dragon festival update thats causing the extreme lag, as there is not just more ppl playing guildwars, other events havnt causes this much lag , including thel as t dragon festival, so anet must either remove the dragon festival early or permanantly loose alot of players imo .
Yarly
Hoho its bad today, at the character selection screen it took 5 mins to load into my GH with no uptates or anything. Nice little 20K ping as a present for my wait too. *Sigh* I thought this had been sorted.

I dont even have a ping atm.

Euro just got even worse! gh is deadly and i cant escape to inter, get 007 constantly!

Buy Lag Free GW - - just 6.99 a month!
I despair - I play a game for over 2 years my broadband has got better and better (Vigin Media Superfast), other games online are superb - GW has completely gone to shit.
I love this game - but for the best part of 2 months I have had problems - for the last few days there has been dire problems - tonight its like Silk Road
I cant log in at all.

Well, like others here I thought things were getting better yesterday.
Today I am back to 20,000ms pings.
Out of interest, someone on another lag thread here mentioned they were on Virgin Media 20 meg cable. That is what I use too.
I don't think it is anything to do with my connection though, as everything else is flying at its usual speed.

Yeah it's a very big lag, maybe because of the servers in Frankfurt, Germany.
Yesterday my lag started en today it even got worse. It's like I'm doing the "moonwalk" but forwards
I hope this problem is fixed before the weekend, otherwise ANet, needs to do this special weekend, next weeknd aswell

UK, Virgin broadband,
This problem did not start at the Dragon Festival, I was experiencing the lag during the AB weekend and people were complaining then that they had problems weeks before that.
Tonight 21:56 BST is impossible. Alliance members in Sweden, Germany, Poland, Holland, Italy and the UK are all having major issues: - logging in is terrible, 5 mins to get into GH, once in playing is a joke. It has taken me 20 mins to get to the first jungle troll in Aurora Glade, usually a 1 minute run even after taking out the spiders. I find that my hench have killed all local targets before my first skill has finished being cast!! What's that all about??
No reply from Anet regards my -diag sent in on Sunday, not even a bot reply! Come on guys a reply in four days isn't much to ask.

Major Lag in Ireland too, I just bought the game. I mean I JUST BOUGHT THE GAME!!!!
Got two evenings out of it and now its unplayabe. I mean I've spent more time trying to figure out if its my computer and checking the net support sites then I have playing the game. Its driving me crazy!!!!
Not only that there was a bug with the assassin career track so I couldn't even spend my time playing through to actually get into the big bad world.
Anyway someone please get this sorted, I paid the company money for this product and I expect to be able to use it.

Euro districts utterly unplayable (like 30,000ms ping). Can no longer go into international district (which has been my refuge for the past 2 weeks because of this), because I always get kicked to the character select screen with Error 007.

My point was that we cant expect them to have the performance amongst thier networks like Blizzard and SOE. So when people say thier dump GW for WoW, it perturbs me a bit. Anet already stated that the error was outside of their control and it was on the network that they are using. If they were Blizz or SOE, they could shoot as much money as needed to the people with the problem and poof, all fixed, but they cant because they give us somethign that is rare in the MMO business, and thats a Massive game with great, updated content, good tech support, community involment, that is ultimatly free once you put down the money to buy the game.
Maybe I'm not as seasoned as some others around here, but I have been through good times and bad with this game, and I am never going to call Anet and GW crap just because of some network problems. They have done good for a long time, so why complain just now?

Was fine an hour ago, now suddenly lagging again.
This has been going on for weeks, with guildies in the UK, The Netherlands and Germany getting lag IN TURNS. I cannot express my disappointment with the service here. We can hardly play any game with more than 2 guildies at a time. The lag is ALL OVER Europe Anet. FIX THIS FINALLY
This is the 3rd weekend in a row that lag suddenly comes and makes the game simply unplayable for me.
