gw1 down due to gw2?
Shadowmoon
Anyone else can't log into gw1 due to the issues with gw2.
fantomas

Both GW 1 and GW 2 are down at this point.
GW 2 people smoked the servers, and since GW 1 & 2 seem to share servers at this point..

3 headstart is a joke , finally could log in after a zillion tries and then i get kIcked again for a 'wrong password' before i even played one hour ?
And then i can't login whatever i try in GW2 or GW1 .

It's a disguise, it's basically a stress test, and when all media has eyes on the official launch, they'll say it went all smooooooth.

its the same what hackers do to compromise server. They flood the server with request (usually with the so called Ion Cannon) and the server can't handle all the input.
The best thing you can do at that point is keep the hands off your gw1+2 and wait for an official "go"
should i mention that i cannot login either? :P

I recall there were similar issues with Diablo 3 when it launched. Hopefully they will resolve the issues soon. Ironically, I just received an email from ncsoft saying "Your Guild Wars 2 Headstart Has Begun!"
Armyofdarkness
i have another theory though
Maybe they shut down the GW1 server seperately and remove all duped items exist.
Will take a lot of time you know, we can expect the servers back at August 28th
They just let it look like GW1 and 2 running on same Loginserver

Its rediculous that GW2 issues are having a negative effect on GW1 connectivity.
GW1 and GW2 sharing servers, thats brilliant.
Anet should fire the employees who thought that would not be a bad idea!

Probably first notification will happen at https://twitter.com/GuildWars2

Dammit, I was afraid this would happen. Or afraid something would happen. I don't know if they're using the same servers, but to me that would seem really dumb. If 2 is going to keep me from playing 1, I want my money back, or give me 2 for free (tongue-in-cheek). I hope they don't take forever to fix it; weekends are the only time I can play.

Makes for a great time to run errands, eat, take care of bodily functions, shower, play golf, other games, etc.

Well, if the troubles with servers don't spill way into next week and the release, I can live with it. But I have time to waste and was planning on doing that in game.

Must be nice, I still can't log in (getting error 42). I have been playing for over 6 years and this is the first time I can remember having this much of a problem with the servers.

GW2 up for me

Also, dedicated servers for each game are pure nonsense, not to mention a waste. No one does it, server can well hold that kind of traffic... usually.
Looks like this isn't the case

I have been able to log in after a lot of 042 errors. Sometimes kicks me out when I zone but with a couple of tries is working.

The servers were down for like 4 to 4 and a half hours or so. The rest of the day they were up and running no problem. Also for all the doomsday people. GW1's population looked pretty healthy. The "GW1 is dying" sandwich board prophets still have some time before GW1 ends. Some guy keeps saying that dragons are gonna come and wipe everything out. I lol'ed. What a paranoid freak.

If you look to the population these 2 days a few remarks. Though aed is still relativly active in the major towns, it has redcued to 50%. If I look however at eed, it is even worse. But I've never been part of the doomsday cultus.
on one hand I expect tomorrow an even bigger group leaving. I know enough people who preordered instead of prepurchased and are going to switch tomorrow.
On the other hand I also expect that after the first few days/weeks people are getting back to gw1 when the new toy isn't new anymore. The reason is that they have unfinnished business or found out that gw1 isn't their game.
In other words. GW1 can have a nice and active future and I won't see it decaying very soon.

Regarding the game population, la, kamadan are not that bad affected but if u look at jq it's bad (extremely bad during the morning hours in my case and in jq case it will be worst when the bots will no longer be there, no reason to keep the bots on when the gold sellers don't have buyers...).
If people come back one by one to gw1 it will not be good. If they like to play like any offline rpg then they will stay, but if they like to play with other humans they might found out they don't have with who to do it and they will go back to gw2 or try to find another game if they didn't liked gw2.
If you want to do some not easy stuff now you have some problems:
- in uw case i saw only sc, and someone that has uw left to do probably didn't made it cause he didn't ever try to sc it
- in doa case you can hardly find a party there, but if u find it they will not be that strict with your build
