I was in Kamadan there and EVERYONE got disconnected. I finally got back in the game and the districts were beginning to fill up again.
Did this happen to everyone?
Europe. (UK)
Lag atm?

And now 40 mins later i can re-connect with a ping of 30-60. It's all over the place!

Mmm, lag for me since Monday, and still happening now. Can't even go into an explorable area without being killed by the first group I come across, due to lag and an unbearably high ping. >.<

I spent the dragon festival weeekend playing in international districts and all was fine. I have been on today and seemed not too bad in european districts. Still around 200 ping, which is higher than it used to be, but seems playable.
I have no plans to bash Anet on this. I do feel it would be nice to have an update here about what is happening and how they are getting on resloving the problem, but since I am not paying any monthly fee, I can wait. I have a life and can do other things. My life doesn't revolve around playing guild wars.
I don't think it is fair that they keep doing events when a lot of people can't play, however, at the same time, they obviously feel they have to do stuff for all the people who are not affected by this. Although it seems like everyone is, that just isn't true.
My advice, be patient. This really isn't the end of the world and if you feel it is, then you should probably be worried about yourself.

It's strange tho... i've never had any problems whenever they did any events over the weekend... but it's only recently after i've gotten myself a copy of factions that it happened after the dragon fest... very very weird...

Crap, the lag came to me! I have never had such lag before. Screen freezes of 10 sec+ every 20 sec, error 7's all over the place (got 14 in 10 minutes), etc etc.
I fear that I will not be able to play GW this weekend ;(
I live in The Netherlands.

Yeah I'm having the same problem, never had lag EVER before.

I can't log in to my character who's in Dasha Vestibule. My other characters get regular ping but with 8,000ms spikes every 5-10 seconds. I'm playing on the euro shard from norway.
Edit: My friend went to Vestibule to check and he got "stuck" there too. We could log in there a little later, but we're still getting the same lag spikes.

Well I have had bad lag for 2 weeks up until Tuesday, all was fine untill 20 minutes ago and then lag spikes of 10k started. So much for thinking the problem was fixed. I hope Arena net sort it out soon.
Executioner
Fixed or made it worse ? The lag im having today is the worst, 10k+ ping aveRAGE, yesterday many in our guild received disconnection at around 7 gmt, after which most of our ping's were 100-200, so we were able play an AT for the first time in 2 weeks. Its getting really frustrating...

EDIT: I'm in Scotland btw, and I'm on an 8mbps ADSL connection (so cable users, it's Anet's servers not your connection)
EDIT 2: This really isn't good enough, and I would suggest that Anet need to pull everyone (or at least, everyone who knows about networking, which obviously isn't all the team) off GW:EN to fix it. Let's put it simply: if we can't get a reliable connection to the servers, then we physically can't buy GW:EN (as ass-kicking as it looks like being) as we won't be able to play it. A week or two (or a month's) delay to GW:EN is less bad than not fixing this lag and nobody in Europe buying GW:EN. Think about it Anet.
Gobby Was Ere
Well im glad im not the only 1 with this lag, Ive been haveing "Error 7" type lag and then 50% loseing connection whenever i zone for the past week. I have connacted support and given them 2 -diag tests. I thought it was sumthing to do with the servers and for 1 day my acc was fine no lag... 100avg ping, but i log on today to be greeted by a big 39,000 ping! I have gotten very bored as i couldnt play gw, so ive been looking into other games...
Get it sorted Anet! If alot of ppl are haveing lag, u should deal with them b4 making special weekends etc....

After the server maintenance thingy yesterday my lag dropped considerably down to around 100-200, very playable. actually managed to get some stuff done.
Today i log on to pings varying from 32 to 14,334. Business as usual. GG.

Have said this before ................ repetitive bugger I know.
Everyone MUST send in a diagnostic report if you are affected by the lag.
I know, its boring. If you don't, Anet will keep thinking this is a minor problem being blown out of proportion by users of european servers only.
The more reports, the quicker someone at the top will kick some butt to get it sorted once and for all.
Get diagnosing now!!

I just had about an hour of good ping (100-200), but just 10 minutes ago it suddenly seized up again and I was back up to 40k.
scoullar
i keep geting frozen, disconnected and so on. have had this problem all day. i was fine with everything until the festival after that ive had lag every now and then but today has been the worst lag ive ever seen on the game
cebalrai
Yeah, same bad lag here in Cincinnati, Ohio.
stiffler
If all this lag continues like this its going to tarnish everyones experience of Eye of the North, there will be huge amounts of people rushing over to the new content. I see mass congestion ahead, not good.
Dr Strangelove
Northern California, ping is sitting around 1000 MS all the time. Pretty rough to monk with a 1 second delay on all your actions...
Lilith A
Oh what a surprise, this morning ping is aroun 62 and game plays fine i come back at 8:30 pm and yet again its abismal and i keep sticking with pings reaching as high as 10k, whatever the hell has been going on for well over two weeks now needs to be fixed because its really starting to take the piss.
Never im my gaming life (and i do games design at university so thats a lot of gaming) have i ever seen lag this bad its horendous.

Logged at 7.30pm (GMT) and all seemed fine so decided to RA.
9 straight wins with the first team I’m in and then the lag strikes again!
After 3 minutes of no one moving I crap our, game tries to reconnect but alas Code 007.
How can this be allowed to affect so many people and for so long beats me!

Woah just got a weird and scary experience!
After several minutes of lags, 2 err7s and 1 err19, while trying to leave my guild hall i've been disconnected and get back on the login page with 4 free slots and none of my 10 characters created over my 3000 hours of play...
But everything except the remaining lags went back to normal after reconnection...
THAT WAS REALLY HORRIBLE!
Hoping Anet will fix soon those damned lags and deconnections...
/pray

Look at that monster of a computer/connection!
Yeah I am getting 300-500 ping normally, with common spikes up to 10k. Started on the 12/13th of July for me. I live on the west of coast of the United States, in (Southern) California. Very hard to monk like this!

Lagtastic!
I have had lag which makes GW virtually unplayable, for 17 evenings out of the last 20. Same effects as many posts report here... wildly oscillating ping (my personal best was 86,006 during the Dragon festival), rubberbanding, frequent disconnects. The Monday following the festival was fine..no problems at all, as was last Saturday. Mornings are great (pity I have to go to work) and early evenings too but by about 8pm (GMT+1) the game is unplayable. In the 19 months I have played GW this is the first time I have suffered with lag.... must have been storing it up lol
Other online games work just fine and my ISP say there is nothing wrong with my telephone line/connection.
My Greek guildies have had no lag but my Swedish and Finnish friends are struggling the same as me. A guildie who lives 13 miles down the road from me in Southern England also doesn't seem to have had lag either. Go figure!
I am fed up with sending NetworkDiag.log file to GW Support too!

Colossal lagspikes of 30,000ms+ in English-1 here tonight. Midlands UK.
Been like this since the beginning of the month really. Nothing new.
What IS new, is the fact that international district-1, up until now my only refuge during all of this, is now not only following suit, but is actually considerably worse.
And when I say considerably worse, well, see for yourself:
(in case the image doesn't load, the top one shows a last ping of 181,000ms, with an average of 44,000ms)
I have a BT Broadband 8mb connection. I do not have any problems accessing the web, downloading large files etc. Everything apart from Guild Wars appears to be fine.

Fates Cry
Yeah....the lag has been really bad in Midwest USA also....I usually pinged right around 70 to 90 on my 10mb DSL....but as of the last 5 or so days it's been fluctuating from 300 to 6000 ms....thought it was on my end but then I trace routed the Anet server with the same results...
on a side note ....
I know it's not only me....lately alot of my guild members have been lagging the same times and the same missions as myself...
maybe Anet is gearing up for GW:EN

I’ve, thankfully, been lag free the last week or so but I am experiencing long load time, especially in RA/TA. Once in I have no problems.
From what I’ve seen in RA/TA a few others are experiencing the same.
