hello, i've got a new pc with an Core2Duo at 4 Ghz and a 8800GTS512 card and 4GB of ram, and a 12Mbit/s Broadband cable internet. But my pingrate is often above 500ms, even when im PvE'ing solo!
Anyone else experiencing problems like this? maybe a settingis set wrong or something?
Oh yeah, and when im downloading a map wich i didnt visited earlier, the downloadspeed is 1KB per second, and a second later its 700KB per second, also very strange...
Maybe its just an overloaded server or something
very high pings on a monster-pc

nice CPU. O.0 i've got an AMD athlon 2800+, 2 GB of RAM, two 360GB HDs, an nVidia 515mb 7800fx, and a small 19'' lcd screen w/ a 5mb cable connection. it's not up to what you've got but it definately gets any and all of my daily needs done (CPU-wise). ^^

Anyways, ping isn't that performance related, there are several things that have influence on your ping. Now I'm not the biggest expert when it comes to connection speeds but here are some things you can do:
- Disable your firewall
- If you have a router in between somewhere, either open some ports ( don't know which ones ), upgrade the firmware, disable the built-in firewall, or just remove it.
- Shorten the length of your cable between your PC and router/modem, in case it's long.
- Check your PC for spyware ( http://spybot.com/en/download/index.html )
- Stop your downloads ( lol )
I'm sure there are more things, but I can't think of anything more at the moment.

the cable length from the modem to the router is 5 metres and the cable length from the router to my pc is around 15 metres, would that be the problem?, i dont think 20 metres is too long, and how do you open ports?

Go to firewall (assuming it's windows), you can go to it through the control panel, and click exceptions, guild wars should be a listed program and check the box

It's most probably down to the routing issues some people are experiencing. There's definately something wrong somewhere when every other game reports back a ping of <60ms yet Guild Wars consistently gives >250ms.

Try wireless, just to see if you keep the problem

GW has been laggy for everyone for the last while. ANet probably switched to a cheaper (less bandwidth) backbone to save money.
