Are these down for the US sites? I haven't been able to access them for a couple of days now. Rss feeds aren't working either. I tried submitting a question through PlayNC but no response, not even an automated receipt, which is the first in two years I have submitted questions.

Guild Wars Wiki is up, but loading pretty damn slow. The website, though... I'm getting nothing.

I haven't been able to access either the official wiki or the web site since the first update on Thursday, and I honestly thought I was the only one.

It started yesterday for me, at least as far as I can remember. I tried a tracert with the following results...ping is normal, that many time outs isn't. I thought it was my ISP again, they share IP's with many customers so getting banned from google, wikipedia is pretty common, but at least its not just me.

Both Gaile and Regina noted that an ISP leading into their network was having difficulties over the weekend. This may be an extension of that.

Also, check your Flash, clear your Cache.

Yeah already tried that, as well as using Ephiany which has never accessed an outside web site. I also tried Internet Explorer and Firefox, as well as forcing a new IP but still the same results.

Finch http://finch.ploogy.net/ is able to access the site (but no images of course since that is its purpose. Coral http://www.coralcdn.org/ isn't able to load.(this is a network that acts as a cache for sites with less bandwidth).

Their European and Asian sites all load fine.

Got an issue here in Cali. Site takes long to load then it gets an error while retrieving url because of a read error. Then it goes (104) connection reset by peer. So basically the url can not be retrieved for me.

Our network team has looked into this and there is nothing out of the ordinary happening on our side.

fusa: Our team has taken a look at your traceroute, and it looks like the issue is with your provider.

This happened before, and it was one of the switches/hubs run by Qwest or another company, between the game's servers and the provider's. Call your provider and they can usually help with the info.

I have been in touch with my provider, they state that they are not blocking those sites....

Also some proxies I have been using are reporting now no longer able to access www.guildwars.com or wiki.guildwars.com finch is the latest I have used that can no longer access your web sites, even though they can access other sites normally.

Is it possible for this issue to be forwarded to a technician that will actually read through my messages instead of repeatedly telling me it is either a router or firewall issue? Both of these are impossible to be since I have bypassed both with the same results. It is either an issue between my ISP and your web host or your web host blocking by ISP.

This was the issue last time. The web host sends the signal out, it goes through a gateway, usually run by Qwest or another company. From there it goes TO your provider, who sends it to you. If your provider says they are good, and Anet say they are sending out, and other people in different areas or with different companies who many use a different switch say they are good, then either it is you, or someone BETWEEN the web host and the provider.

Sometimes, when they have a threat, Qwest will put out a patch to resolve it. This can sometimes recognize certain pings as a threat until the issues are resolved. It happens.

This is the only explaination, other than the router/firewall ones you hate hearing ad infinitum, that fits your issues.

The problem is their horirble "senior" techinical support. They are telling me how to connect to the game.....I have sent them MULTIPLE emails, saying it is their WEB site and their WIKI that is unaccessable, it is not the game.

The wiki and website are still down for me. If it was a problem with the person connecting us to the website and wiki, then why is it that not everyone has the problem? For the record, I'm using a completely different ISP than Fusa.

Anyone got a roto-rooter? I feel like shoving something down these series of tubes. It's only been a week, after all.

Exactly how I feel . 11 e-mails from them now, requesting me to remove antivirus, remove firewall, remove privoxy and try to connect to the game. No idea someone can become a senior technician and not understand there is a difference between a game client and web site access. They also don't seem to understand that if one machine is running nod32, commodo, etc and another machine doesn't run it and neither machine can connect then nod32, commodo, privoxy etc are not the issue.

Try accessing from https://www.guildwars.com/ http:// doesn't work for some people. This will not work for the wiki though. Ports 21 and 443 at ArenaNet's server 206.127.153.151 are accessible, but for some reason port 80 is being blocked to some ip's.

Thanks fusa. Now at least I can view the main site, pity about the wiki but I'll use the other one

Even the support guys at my isp could not access the site, so it must be upstream somewhere

Still not seeing problems on my end. GW(both the American and Euro sites) and the official wiki load fine. I'm not getting any redirects either.

<--NY, dsl, Firefox, firewalls and AV are up, Guru is loading slow(but whats new).

*edit Still fine, even after Regina's last post

Here's an update on the status of the wiki. The RSS feeds seems to be causing problems, so they have been taken down until they determine why the wiki has difficulties with the RSS feeds. They are continuing to work on this issue.

Same here. http://wiki.guildwars.com and http://www.guildwars.com both has not been working for the last 2-3 weeks (form home and work - which is on 2 different isp's) =/ Someone mentioned using https on guildwars.com which works ok, but I'm still unable to access wiki.

C'mon ANET. This is obviously not on "our" side, as the probs seems so extend from the u.s to europe to africa... Its worldwide! I smell some isp routing issue?

BTW, Location: South Africa
