It means that I we will all be offline soon.
Doesn't seem to be for long (momentarily could be anything from 5 minutes to an hour though) - reconnect is probably disabled on this one, and I just got through all those pesky things to farm the chaos planes :-(

I just got booted with an error 7. I wonder how long the maintenance will take.

Before I got booted I also saw that a new build was available. Now I'm confused o_O

New Log In Process FAQ

Q: Why is ArenaNet changing the log-in process?

A: As an additional security measure to protect your account, you will now have to provide the name of a character on your account in order to log in to Guild Wars.



Q: What if I don't have any characters created on my account yet?

A: No problem. If you don't have any characters on your account, just leave the security question field blank. Once you create a character, however, you'll have to enter your character name in order to log in.


Q: What if I've forgotten the name of the character on my account?

A: Just contact Support and we'd be happy to help you out.


Q: If I have been disconnected from the game, will I have to re-enter my character name when I log in?

A: Yes.


Q: Will I need to answer the security question under any other circumstances?

A: If you add an item key to your account, you will have to enter a character name to log in.


Q: I have more than one character on my account. Does it matter which character name I use when I log in?

A: No. As long as you enter a valid character name that's assigned to your account, you can log in.


Q: Do you have any other additional security tips to help protect my account?

A: If you're concerned about security, consider changing your password. Make sure you use a unique password for your Guild Wars account.

and of course no reconnect for poor Taki. it's 3am, I am not slashing my way back to the damn planes now. good night!

Good idea how secure accounts. But I think It would be better take some upgrades like:

Special storage password, If someone or player try take some from Xunlai storage, and Character armors and weapons passwords If someone (Or player) Try salvage them.

That would become tedious very very quickly.

We apologize that we couldn't give you all some forewarning, but this was an update that was a high priority and we wanted to get it out the door as soon as possible.

More information here: http://www.guildwars.com/support/gam...es/default.php

And here: http://www.guildwars.com/support/log-in-security.php

It was so important that you guys couldn't even give us 15 minutes of warning? Your update screwed up the AT ladder and made alot of people angry.

Not to mention all the people that were probably in the middle of a dungeon or HA match.

Try getting a faster computer. No, seriously. Internet and servers has nothing to do with your computer not being able to process hundreds of polygons.

I know my PC isn't great.. But ADualCore AMD Athlon 64 X2, 2600 MHz (13 x 200) 5000+, 4 GB RAM (DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM), ATI Radeon HD 3800 Series (512 MB), ASRock ALiveNF5SLI-1394 (3 PCI, 1 PCI-E x1, 3 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR2 DIMM, Audio, Gigabit LAN, IEEE-1394) isn't good for Guild Wars If I play Crysis in high details ?
