unable to connect - again

Once again after an update there are people sitting at 'connecting to Arenanet 0%'

I know of 7 people (just gw people on im's) that are having the issue. Ticket submitted to support and have deleted gw.dat and downloaded it all again to no avail.

Ensured that GW client has firewall privileges and even attempted to connect whilst firewall is turned off.

Also having trouble connecting to GW. Happen after the update. Any ideas?

Same goes for me, although I was running at 0.5 KB/s before which is just enough to avoid serious lag.

Lame.

Was so far in to Foundry of Failed Creations and disconnected with no reconnect option.
