Okay, lately, me and all my friends (gw friends) have been getting MAJOR lag, not because of our internet connections, but because of the anet servers, more specifically what we believe to be the dragon fest. I have been lagging every 5 seconds since the Dragon fest. update; no matter where I am. I have died in UW several several several times now because of this, and I am afraid to do anything in the game of significance. This needs to stop, right now. I have contacted ANET, but all they have to say "Can we see you internet connection Info??" When its not even my internet, trust me, I am 100% certain it is not my internet connection, the web has been running smooth as ever as well as everything else, but GW is very very very very laggy.
This is a very big problem, and has been frustrating both me, and my friends.

The lag MUST STOP NOW!

Thousands of people in europe are getting huge lag spikes and it's been going on for over 7 days. It may not be Anets part of the network but I would hope they are raising merry hell to get it fixed. Basically from what alliance and friends are telling me, pretty much whole parts of the game are totally unplayable.
Daily updates, plus detailed step by step instructions on how we can help would be of use.
7 Days+ to fix something is very poor, regardless of where the fault lays.
As a short stop gap, playing from the international districts seems to reduce it somewhat.

If Anet has been trying to fix it, then okay, sorry for mass complaining, but I think if it hasn't been fixed by now then they need to work harder because as you can see, this is a big problem.

It's true. I have it too. I'm kinda relieved it's not my problem.
Didn't have it this morning, so it must be festival related.

Well, I've been in contact with support for months over this issue. According to them "There is no lag", so I guess that makes all the people reporting it liars then!
It's funny how it's only GW that suffers from this and nothing else.

I have been hearing about this from a few people but I haven't exprienced any. I only get a little lag when I go to an explorable areas at the start as well as entering a town due to sound.

I fixed both my sound and lag issues caused by the sound processor system they installed a few months ago by using the -dsound switch. You might want to give it a try, It reduced by lag to about one quarter of what it was after the "upgrade."

Okay, was ANOTHER lag thread really necessary?
Could people please check other threads before going on their whiny little rants? All you had to do was scroll down a little...

Thousands of people are extremely frustrated and angry over this issue which has been getting steadily worse, with no response to it besides a note on the GW main site about it being "looked into". There are people on this site who are in constant contact with Support - and they are not getting any further than the average Joe playing the game and sending in a support ticket.
Yes, there are other threads about this problem, and that's what Mods are for - if they feel this is an unnecessary thread, they will merge it with the others or lock it (as they have done with others). I have full confidence in the ability of our Mods to do what is correct for this forum.
If you do not suffer from this lag problem and feel it is unnecessary to post about it - just skip the lag threads. BUT there are a lot of people for whom this game has become almost unplayable with lag - and they are told by Anet to come to these forums and post their "whiny little rants" - which is their right. Just a little respect for other people and their feelings is all it takes to skip a thread if you have no interest in it.

for over 12 days now with only serious lag ingame, so it's not starting to bug me! Its utterly annoying the hell out me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Try helping out guildies when you constantly error out or just can't do shit because of the lag. It doesn't help. I've seen the activity slowly degrade in my guild because of several people having the same lag like I do.
I've kept just logging in to keep in touch through the ingame chat, but for the rest is just been unplayable! It needs fixing asap!

Anyway, as you said, this is for the Mods to resolve if they deem it to be necessary to do so. Just trying to implement some common sense -- albeit maybe in a slightly over aggressive manner. Although I feel I have as much a right to complain as anyone else, regardless of the subject in question. I hope you see my point.

It started with the dragon festival, and ended when the dragon festival ended.

This is starting to get anoying all this lag and not even 1 explanation from A-NET, are the Frankfurt servers beeing used for GW:EN tests or beta? or is there other explanation for this ... one thing i know im not gona put my money in GW:EN till this lag problem isnt solved

There have been some updates, and logically enough, these have been posted on the Guild Wars Official Wiki. The last was posted on Saturday 7th July
Gaile even posted at some point over the weekend in these forums with the link
The appropiate Wiki Page is HERE

I have been playing GW since the start, when the game was released in the EU, and I can't say I have had so much lagg in the history of GW gaming.
There is no reason for the lagging unless there are problems with either the servers or the coding for the new update. Every time they have had a Special Event for GW there has been minimal lagg and servers have ranged from 1 to 100, unlike this time. If they wish to provide a service they need to provide a good service to all people, even if they are beta testing the new system for GW2 or Eye of the North, they should expect a high volume of players like they have for other events.
The problems people are experiencing are a disgrace and, yes, something does need to be done about it. I pay for the game and expect a service, I buy the collectors editions for the game, they are expensive and cost more than what it costs to play a, "Pay to play game"
I don't expect something to be fixed right away but if more than a persentage of players are having a problem, and complian, it is their duty to fix the problem, their service. As classed, not of Merchantable quality.

Me too. I've never lag so much ever in guildwars except for this weekend. It was so bad I couldnt even play, my light was green maybe 1% of the time. The other 99% was a spilt between orange and solid red -.-
Hoping this is just from the festival and stuff

Gee, 100 districts all packed completly full, and theres lag? NO WAY?
get over it, with the special more people were on than normal and lag happens, hooray for AFKers on the rings.
I had DC issues for a month or so, cost me TA and HA matches and things in PvE land. Anyone se me make a thread about it crying? NO
Ya know what I did? All I could on my end. I called my ISP and got a new modem. And now no DCs, not one.
If you have had lag forever/every day for months, its most likely on your end.
If you had bad lag this weekend, it was the festival.
Now please start making threads with a point to them.
