Indeed. Two disconnects so far. Came back into town both times to see a million people saying "LAAAAG". "OMG LAG!", etc.


EDIT: make that 4 DCs

Not too bad, but I've noticed that skills are showing up at the wrong times. Very annoying.

I've had 4-5 err7s and several lag spikes over the past hour or so. I can't even attempt to track down the source because as soon as traffic leaves my ISP's (RoadRunner) backbone it goes to pccwbtn.net, which is setup to block tracert. All I can determine is that its not my router/modem or my ISP's own network.

My routing to the game servers just changed, hopefully bypassing the problem. Could mean that there was an outage, etc with one of the carriers connected to Anet and their ISP.

I've been on for a ~1:30 (and was AFK for an hour before) and I haven't had a single bit of lag, let alone an Err007. Several guildies/allies have been complaining about lag, though... the ones complaining live in east coast/midwest USA (I live in MT), could that have anything to do with it?

EDIT: and could Ike have anything to do with it?

Yes, a lot of lag. I was thinking of taking a break from farming today and doing the 3 HM missions I need for leg guardian... but I guess that's not gonna work. Tried to kill abbadon, got dc'd.

Yeah, this afternoon I was playing and everyone had lag, from my guild leader in Virginia to my friend in Queensland. I even had quite a bit of lag as well, and a few close calls with a disconnect. Almost lost the tonic I was using!

A little while ago my brother was disconnecting like crazy, I was just in Fort Aspenwood and I got hit with lag just once. I'd expect to get more lag bursts later, though...

Its somewhere on the west coast. I haven't been able to see a complete traceroute to their game servers for a while, but it always drops off at a backbone in the LA area.

The hurricane could be the cause of some of the lag/disconnects. You don't have to live in Texas for your connected to be routed through Dallas/Ft. Worth. I would imagine problems with a hub that large could shift a lot of traffic and cause congestion on other networks.

Well, since it occured Friday, that means it won't be fixed until Monday.

Of course, Regina and A.net will claim that "there was only lag for a couple of hours." Dumb corporate spin

My real-life friend and I were attempting to do some quests in the Charr homelands... bad idea. We got them done eventually, but every few minutes both of us would disconnect or have a severe lag spike at the same time. Synchronized lagging: the new olympic sport of Guild Wars.

Seems to be entirely cleared up for me today. Last night's lag was absolutely terrible though - random 13k pings, bunch of friends err7'ing...good stuff.
