Who else can't log on/change regional districts?

As of right now, I cannot log onto the server. It gives me a code 005 after staying at 0% loading for like 2 mins.

A friend of mine is also suffering from the same thing.

Yep same happening to me, I can log on to international districts but I can't get into my Guild Hall. Not so good when you want to gvg...

pls fix this soon!!

Im from Ireland btw...

I can't log on at all.

Error 005 too.

I wonder if it's just affecting people in the UK?

My ISP is btbroadband btw.

I live in the UK and not quite getting that problem.....

I searched the code and this is all i got to give

Code:005 NCSoft report number: 2438
"Guild Wars was unable to connect to the game server due to a network error. This may be caused by internet routing issues or a server network failure."

These codes indicate a connection error. Somewhere between your PC and the server the connection was interrupted, or never established in the first place. This may be a problem on your system (firewall, router, modem, etc.), a problem with your ISP or a connection problem at the server. (Note: If it's the latter it is usually followed by one of the server side errors listed below when trying to reconnect.)
You may want to do a traceroute to the server in order to determine the chokepoint.

Despite the error message text, code 058's can also come from a problem with your client, not the internet connection. This problem can be solved by deleting the gw.dat file, which forces the client to re-download all the game data. Also, you can re-install the game.

Ok to run a diagnostic create a new gw icon on your desktop and rename it with -diag at the end of the exe part.
this should help find out what is causing the problem.

Don't particularly want to re-download all the game data when obviously a few people have this problem, and thus is unlikely me.

I edited my post, about running a diagnostic, that may help you more.

Network paths is taking a while...

Connecting was very slow but everything seems ok here. I'm from New York.

Network paths just finished, gonna try logging on now.

Yay looks like i am on!

I am also back on.

Just got back on after being locked out of servers for over one and a half hours, but now i am getting massive lag spikes, game is pausing for over a second before resuming.
Was wondering is anyone else in the UK or Europe suffering with the lag spikes?

last night i was getting crazy lag spikes and when i pulled up the net traffic graph i think gw is downloading some big stuff cause i had a ton of incomming info as opposed to the normal low amount. I also got a ton of err7's.. eh i leftt gw on all night, so hopefully it downloaded everything and will stop lagging.
