I havent played GW in a long time but my friend is bugging me to play the new characters and such, so i fired it up and downloaded ~16mb of updates
I type in my password and 'Connecting...' appears indefinitely
Tried with a few other accounts -- nothing.
Forwarded UDP/TCP on port 6112 (some site said it was for GW, didnt really look into it) nothing
Turned on DMZ... NOTHING
I am not computer illiterate, actually i am quite the opposite.
Any ideas how to resolve this?
Guild Wars stuck at connecting

I was able to get up to date, and log in for a bit, took a break then came back then same situation.
I think it's all the new temp accounts w/ everyone trying to log in overloading there servers. I would try again latter (still in the same boat as you).
(edit) sigh... I don't think I will be getting on tonight, guess I will be firing up UT 2004

Yeah, now I am getting this error.
I wonder what the heck is going on... seems like this happens an awful lot in this game. I wonder if it is this bad now how it's going to be during the whole 'factions' thing. Probably won't be able to connect the whole weekend at this rate if it can't even handle it now.

try deleting gw.exe, and reinstall
if it doesn't work then you'd have to uninstall and reinstall, 1 gb download =D
edit. sorry it only works for the op problem, "I type in my password and 'Connecting...' appears indefinitely"

I have a sinking feeling your right...
I will fireup the laptop and see if can connect, if it does then I think I have a bad gw.dat
Will try this when I get home. Very glad I do have the install cd's to cut down reload time.

How do you all of the sudden get a bad gw.dat?
I am seriously starting to wish I had never bought this damn game and went straight to WoW as this game needs some serious fixing. Can't connect on a constant basis is just not kewl.

Ange1 has a very good point, when it updates, it replaces files inside of the gw.dat. If any of the files are installed wrong, corrupted, or came from the server bad, it will have some bad files inside of the gw.dat.
There have been issues that after something was patched (in the past) with some users that GW acted up, crashed, or would not work correctly until it was re-installed.

I played for many hours after the new patch was installed and had no problems. Just tonight it's acting up all the sudden so I don't see how it could be that with me. Although by the time I was done reinstalling it and all the crap that I had to download it would probably be working by then anywayZ :P

I'm also having a similar problem. I have 3 characters last logged in at Lions Arch, when I try to log in with those characters it stays at 0% and it will eventulaly give me an Error 5, something about a Server or Routing Issue. I'll try deleting the gw.exe like mentioned earlier and see if that fixes it.
EDIT: I tried deleting the gw.exe and gw.dat and reinstalling, still no luck.

).I've never had the problem, but it seems like people get corrupted incremental updates pretty frequently. It's kind of a pain, but all you have to do is delete GW.dat and let it re-download the one full update (as though you just installed the game).
I don't know what all the fuss is about. I've been gaming for over 20 years and GW is one of the most trouble free computer gaming products I've ever seen, especially as far as online gaming goes. I run it on 3 different computers myself, and have a lot of friends that have more problems with their ISPs than with GW. Most of the problems people have are related to their computer, not Guild Wars itself. Sometimes ANet has problems with servers in certain areas. I had a period of 3 days a coupla months ago that I couldn't connect, but guess what, s**t happens. I'm connecting just fine today, and maybe tomorrow the servers in my area will have a problem, who knows?
The way I see it ANet isn't charging monthly fees to maintain their servers all over the world or to provide and support new content. If they have a problem that takes some time to fix every now and then I can forgive them for that. If you're having a problem and you're pretty sure it's not on your end, submit a problem ticket with ANet support. That's what I did, and they responded very quickly that they knew about the problem and were working on it.

Yes I get the same error and IP as Cynn Princess. All I can do in the game is visit the Great Temple of Balthazar and watch Guild Battles. But I deleted my PvP char to make another and I can't make a new one now. So bascially I'm stuck with a useless game. I guess the server took a hammering over the last 24hours.

I have the same problem here. Cant help but feel selfish that im glad im not the only one.
antzdaman
Ok i am annoyed and having the same prolem with the getting in fine and then not connecting (code=005)
I have found a way past the down guild wars website (support has it's own thingo) I havn't found anything usefull on it buy someone else may here is the link "http://support.guildwars.com/cgi-bin/guildwars.cfg/php/enduser/std_alp.php?p_sid=APjYK7-h"
For example i tried serching for Code=005 and got nothing
btw i also found out that when it is connecting you are online and can be sent whispers etc.
Good luck and post if you find anything

I don't think theres anything we'll be able to do to fix it. Maybe Anet didnt think there would be so many new accounts and its putting a huge strain on there servers so some crashed.
EDIT: its working now
EDIT 2: I managed to get 3 random areana games in before it died out on me, back to square 1

Turns out optus is having issues with one of hops in singapore (Going by what was said in the other thread, a singapore ISP is having hefty problems).
Us Optus-goers are just gonna have to weather this one out it seems

I'm from Singapore and I have the exact same problem. I can log on to my PvE char in a PvE town, but not on PvP char or a PvP arena. Plus i can't get into guildwars.com either.. maybe the load is too much, plus the fact we're so far from the servers.. sigh.. was looking forward to it.. oh well..

I posted this in another thread but I guess it is usefull here too;
I don't know if this will help but;
I played fine with all my chars until this evening. Suddenly GW was a hell; total lag all over the place. I could connect to Arenanet just fine, with over 400kb/sec speeds.
But after the logging in it was a total disaster. As soon as I entered any place, a few seconds after everything freezed. Even the chat was not working, or it took ages to appear. It seemed my connection speed was totally smashed to pieces.
I played fine before, so I guessed reinstalling would solve the problem, it didn't. Then I changed modems and suddenly the problem was solved, very weired. Then I entered the modem set-up of my main modem and saw that my fix IP number was unchecked. I checked it and started GW, all worked fine again.
I don't know why all of a sudden this ruined the gameplay but fixing the IP certainly helped, I played all night without any problems, hope this will do the same for you.

Hmm, I encountered this problem a couple days ago right after my connection reset (I'm on dialup).
I started up Guild Wars fine, it did the update check and all that fun stuff, then when I got to the login page, the monthly news ticket didn't show up. After I tried to login, it would hang at "connecting", then finally it gives me an error=052.
Getting pissed off at it, I reinstalled the game and was able to log in after the client updates were done. Once I was able to choose which character I wanted to play, it went to the portal and downloaded the in-game updates. While downloading all those updates my connection reset again. Upon trying to log in once more, the game hangs at connecting...
Getting really pissed off, I though, heh, I need a format so why not. So I did a format, installed windows and installed the client and did the client updates. Upon trying to login once more, it hung at connecting...
Thing is, I have a dual boot on this maching running a 2.12 kernel of FC4, and was able to log into that. I copied the dat and client to a dual OS accessible drive and then copied those files to my Guild Wars folder that is on my XP disc. I ran the game client on XP, and it hung at connecting...
I am stumped... I havn't changed any of my securty settings. I run multiple antivirus and firewall applications, but have made sure all are set on correct security settings to allow guild wars to connect. I have also disabled everything for the short period of time to let GW try to connect.
