So I was in AB and both myself and my team mates several times experienced the usual skill-freeze. But it didn't clear. After a few seconds, red-ping bubbles, half the AB disconnect and then reconnect.

So it keeps happening and we take notes of names. There was us in AB, someone experimenting in EotN for the first time on her account and another guy in CoF. We all get lag spikes at the same time, followed by some people DCing out.

Anyone know what gives?

Probably a 'net problem right outside Anet's servers.

probably just streaming wintersday content into the game hence the lag. I've encountered the same thing since last night

Yup, I was getting serious lag spikes (in the middle of the Kathandrax boss fight, no less), and I virtually never have lag problems with GW.

Well I'm not too sure where the servers are located (it's probably listed on their site somewhere or guildwiki though) but it might have something to do with all those snow storms around the continent >.>

But yes, I experienced it too... it wasn't SUPER bad but was quite annoying.

The lag is getting worse. I just err7'd while awaiting a gvg match. So did two others. Whatever it is, they better have it fixed by tomorrow for the monthly.

have been having this problem for 2 days now....what gives? yesterdays was worse though, had lag spikes of 24k and one of 48k then I got dc'd a bunch of times, and one crashed my computer! (my graphics card was not a happy camper after all the lag and stuff so it rebelled).
Hope they get this fixed soon or wintersday or not I wont be ABLE to play.

I'm experiencing some lag spikes. I thought it was just me, and if it was, I would have been doing a lot of digging because I have never lagged before. I didn't know what lag was in Guild Wars until today.

I'm getting REALLY sick of this, espically farming minotaurs with a survivor... You can't map out either!

Tried playing this morning, within 10 mins had a 43k ping, a 61k ping and 2 err007's and at this time of day the US and Europe servers are pretty much dead. Time to find some other way to wind down after work and hope it's fixed in the next couple of days (and with the usual speed and efficiency these lag issues are normally fixed i reckon i'll be waiting a while).

If I were to screw up on my job as much as anet does I'd quit from embarrassment.....probably be fired before that though
