Hey, guys,
Network Support has asked me to get a report from you on how latency is within the game. I'll make a quickie poll.
Thanks!
For those reporting significant or play-stopping issues, could you please provide details? Particularly relevant is your location and the time of day you had the problem.

Seems to be fixed now, cheers
What was with the extremely long dragon festival as in Dragon Arena & Nest by the way?
Any chance there's gonna be a permanent mini-game?
(EDIT: I'm the master of going off-topic ~~)

Having a bit of latency in PvP arenas (Europe)
Other than that, the only thing I want to know is will that Pre-order GWEN sword be re-inscribable ._.

I have lag problems, rubberbanding in most cases, and getting stuck a seconds.
I'm from Spain (Telefonica and Ono networks), my problems begin usually at 10pm (Spanish time), that's when I usually play.

Last night about 1 a.m. EST America. Several periods of total stop (I'm looking at monster, monster looks at me, we're both just standing there and then a rush of hits to catch up) at least 30 sec in length. Went away in a few minutes.

I haven't had much lag at all, only when I have vent and windows media player running is there lag.
Duchess Eleonora
I've been unable to play these last few days. Not only due to lag but also constant disconnects, though this might be a completely separate issue (It's very hot in Holland atm, and my graphic card tends to overheat).
All my chars display rubberbanding, and sometimes I get the same issue as havok019, when everybody just stops and stares. It occurs mostly from 15-23, when more people are on, but other times are not lag-free either.

Yesterday evening 7-10 PST American Server, West Coast
While in missions freeze up, wait a few seconds and then go again. Also lag...run up the steps and all of a sudden I am at the bottom again.

i dunno its been for a few hours, but i got on for the first time today, 5pm today, brought some cheap un id'd garbs for 19k and it was so laggy in lions arch - district any.
i was getting a ping of anywhere between 400-100,000 ! it was shocking, i know its not my connection, as i just speed tested it, and made sure nothing was leeching the connection.
i have a 16mb line as well :'(

had a few horrible lag spikes in America throughout wednesday. a couple of which everyone in my guild experienced.
Mr. Monk
Same as normal: no problems here (NA).

No server-side lag problems.
My internet connection on the other hand...
EDIT: Oh right! (Europe here too)

No lags for me, but in some areas like Lions Arch I experience lots of rubberbanding.

drago34
I've been running into the occasional really bad lag spike and rubber banding.
Thunder79
No real problems here...occasionally the ping will spike and the little bubble with go red...but it's usually cleared up in a couple of seconds and goes back to green. I attribute it more to my internet connection and the internet in general. No rubberbanding or large in game lag spikes.
Relambrien
Haven't had any lag problems at all. The last time I had a problem was in early July, before the whole Frankfurt hub event, and that was when my entire team froze for approximately 10 seconds two or three times during a GvG. Everyone froze, not just me.
GodofAcid
Lag was fixed a couple days ago. Before that, I was experiencing severe lag for weeks. I just want to reiterate that a bit of reassurance for players outside of Europe while this was being dealt with would have gone a long way. I was feeling like this problem would not be addressed for the rest of us as we couldn't even get you guys to publicly acknowledge that we were also having this problem. Aside from that, I'm glad this issue is now being addressed and has been fixed for many, and hopefully will be fixed soon for everyone else.

I haven't played since the dragon festival, but that is because I'm waiting for the lag issues to be fixed before I play again. I live in California, USA, and had lag issues the whole dragon festival weekend.
Torikae
I voted mior latency issues - Europe.
The game's quite playable in most cases, but I'm still having issues doing certain things. Any solo build involving enchants is a big no at the moment, as is playing a healer, because the lag is just leaving me unable to react quick enough.

Bad time to ask this.
I was experiencing no or very little lag at all the last weeks.
Noticed this post and decided to ask in guild who has lag.
I heard: "me" from several people and my indicator shot up from 64ms to way above 1.000.
I was standing in Elona Reach outpost the moment this happened.
Connected to 206.127.146.87
Asking second time, seems things got better (my indicator switches from green to orange now and then, so it's a bit unsteady).
Players are located in various European countries and one in Middle East.
When I have an update on this, I'll edit my posting.
Asked again in guild, lag is back to normal now, things are ok.

Since the latest big update i have been experiencing huge lag occasionally
But something strange about it is that after the ping jumps from like 300->10k, everything goes back to normal (the chat goes smoothly, your team attacks normally) only that you cant talk, cant use skills and cant attack.
Anyone else found this?

Gone for me now, but then I have said that twice before.

I'm only encountering the usual lag/rubberbanding when running IRC, IM, Windows Media Player and Opera with 25 tabs open. 
My ping had a recordbreaking of 23 MS while playing on America Districts(I live in Holland) so I do believe the lag has gone, for me atleast.
I've had the same issues, my Guild Wars freezes and the only thing I can do is pressing the X button, then the ''lag'' disappears. I hope it's because of my CPU running at 60 Degrees Celsius because I really don't want to download/reinstall 3 gig + GW:EN ontop of it.
I know, it's ironic, not having lag while still having ''lag''.

Severe lag here in England for me. Latency is hardly dropping below 2,000ms since the last update.
Guess it's all part of ANets 'lets insult the English by calling them common' plan!

Already voted minor lag europe but this evening, lag at 20:30 GMT is almost unbereable

The major lag storm has subsided for me in northern CA. Thumbs up Anet!
Aera Lure
Severe lag spikes with the ping inexplicably jumping up to 5k+ for seemingly no reason at all during non peak times during the day caused me a lot of frustration up until I have stopped playing recently. I had a support thread with over 25 replies and possibly every tech Anet employs too and it didnt solve the problem.
The spikes would usually not last terribly long, but as a monk they were long enough for the party to encounter difficulty or to annoy the hell out of me enough to log out and log on later. Sometimes logging on during peak hours meant longer lag periods at lower pings (but still high - 1k+). Forget about major event weekends.
Inexplicably though, there would also be long spells sometimes where I'd get no lag at all or minor spikes only (those were annoying too - rubberbanding or running in one direction, freezing and suddenly teleporting or running 180 degrees from what I was). I know its not my connection because everything else I do is fine.
I have not checked recently (a week or two). Got too annoyed with it, but it sounds as though possibly it was addressed for some areas, which is a good thing.
I'm in the US on the East Coast.

Some minor lag issues (occasional rubberband or skill lock lag). Nothing that makes the game unplayable (though a lil annoying at times) but worse than it was before the Frankfurt issue started.
Cass
Weekends is when it tended to hit hard the last few weeks. So I'll wait till monday to report...
Turbobusa
no more or very little lag for me, really nice.
Lauryn
I had very severe lag problems today repeatedly my ping would shoot to around 40,000-60,000 with very large pauses (20 seconds to a minute) eventually after doing 2 quests I gave up 
This was around 11-12am Europe (England)

Hmmm no lag here anymore. I had some major lag when going to Shing Jea Monestary, but I guess that was just because the event was there.... But it only happened twice or so, and it wasn't as if I couldn't play anymore.

Lag free for the past 3 nights
Game was unplayable for about 1 week prior to that

Seems to be lag free again for me (in europe). Thanks Anet network team for getting it sorted, looking forward to the release of GWEN now!

GMT -4 American server about every 15 minutes this evening. No problems in A.M.

Lag was unbearable in Sunspear sactuary (american d1) earlier today. Also had some problems this afternoon with rubberbanding, though my ping displayed was low, framerate was high enough not to be my system. I have an ok computer, and dont normally experience lag in two person teams in explorable areas.
