This is awesome. First there were HUGE lag spikes that lasted about 30 seconds, then it completely froze up for several minutes and I logged out.
I guess the servers crashed. Picture the amount of steam bellowing from ANet's servers right now. Our Wintersday gifts are probably choking up and flying out of the air vents.
Mail me mine okay ANet?
Insane lag at Event

I had to take a screenshot, look at this for a ping time. And now when we log back in, our gifts are gone from the ground, the gifts we had picked up or won during the finale AND the hat are all gone.
THANKS A LOT ARENANET, NICE JOB.

it seems like the euro servers are the ones with the problem, my friend logged on to her account and her character was in the international servers and she was fine, and another friend of mine went on his account and his character was in the american districts and he was fine also. however when i try to log on to my account with my characters in the euro servers i just get error 007 before i get into a town T.T
edit: my girlfriend and i just got back on and we lost our hats too

WAS there a rollback? I normally wouldn't care but I really need to know because I'm getting someone else hats as well. <: ) I just checked and she still has both hats and all the gifts/shards she had when I signed off.
RTSFirebat
Lost the two gifts I picked up and my hat... :S meh
Hellblazer
I think we have a right to be angry at Anet, we have wasted our time doing this and to have all the things rolled back on us. This happened at the Dragon Festival, so they know this kinda thing happens, so they shoudl have prepared for it but they didnt. Whats that saying..."learn from your mistakes"....looks like they didnt, they dropped the ball on yet another event.
angry_beaver
Looks like i'm still winning in the ping times, anyone beat 260k? Just read someone lost 359 mins of drunkard title but not sure if that is true or not!
yishin
i lost my gifts and hat (i think thats a rollback)
maybe others will lose theirs after they restart gw again, am i mistaken?
