Anyone else worried seeing as we are only 3 days from the factions realease and there being potentially more than double the amount of people playing now?

Same for me.

By the way, it's called Factions and not "fraction."

People that posted w/ this problem...I am trying to figure out if it has something to do w/ the factions preorder package. I have added that access key to my account and now it doesnt work. I had my friend try my account on his computer(to see if it was comp) and he got the same error message. Whne he tried his account(without the factions preorder package cd key installed) it worked fine. Please post if you have the preorder access key on your account. I dont know it may just be me but this seems way to coinsidental to just be a normal glitch in my case at least.

just got this error 005 again on both my american accounts, tho it does allow me to log in but i can't map travel ne where,if i try too err 005 and my char are stuck in limbo between where i was b4 i tried to map travel and where i wanted to go, so to test i went on my euro account, everythings works fine. Change my euro to American and BOOM err 005 ( my euro doesn't have a pre-order key btw b4 u ask) tho my main American account does.

So seems it maybe an American servers issue.... oh wot joys just b4 Factions, hope this isn't a sign of things to come..

It started happening to me today, and I do not have a key for Factions installed. I don't think that is the problem.

I haven't added my factions preorder yet and I'm still getting these errors, and they're totally random. They'll happen spontaneously when I warp, then I can't go barely anywhere, then poof its normal.

If the servers are having issues then they should fix them. With 1 million players that's at least 50 million bucks.

Yes, server issues are common. Don't complain too much, you could be paying $15/mo.

These Error 5's are getting really annoying now, I had planned on finishing everything on my main char before thursday morning but now it looks unlikely because most of my guild are getting err 005.

Its been happening for over 2 hours tonight so thats just a bit longer than the planned server maintanance and most of my guildies have headed off to do other things.

I disagree that we should expect this because we dont pay a monthly fee...

I getting that code 005 error everytime I try to log in with m y pve characters. I am, however, able to login with my pvp character, but he is only limited to travelling to the Great Temple of Balthazar and the Guild Hall. I can't even go on observer mode or go in a GvG match without the fricken code 005 message popping up. This has never happened to me before so I don't think its my internet provider's fault. I don't have my factions pre order key either and I'm in the American servers. If this is caused by the upcoming factions preparations and uploads, hopefully the recent lag, err 7's and code 005's will disappear later on this week.

Jesus chrsit, these error 5's are pissing me the hell off. There was a massvie err5 problem last week, then another error 5 problem a few days ago that wasnt so big.
I got home after football practice, tired as hell, looking to play some GW and relax, but NO, error5 pops up again. They REALLY need to fix/update/upgrade their servers or their server provider. I hope they fix it before Factions comes out.

Before today, I NEVER had a SINGLE connection issue with this game.

This morning I was in Deldrimer War Camp with My Warrior...chatting with a friend. I suddenly got disconnected. When I tried to get back on my Warrior, it "stuck" at the connecting screen, then I got the error. I tried logging onto my Ele (who is at Grotto)...same thing. I tried as my Ranger (who is at Ventari's Refuge)...no problem logging in/connecting, but when I try to map somewhere else I get the error. Very odd problem, and really frustrating.

Then by all means do something about it, using the net tools could help identify the problem server or datacenter that is causing issue of people who are actively experiencing this issue, but unless you attempt to check stuff out and provide feedback to Anet staff, youll find they have a hard time locating the issue if there is one. It might just be a faction roll out, thats propagating through all the datacenters. Though Im still not having problems connecting or playing at this point in time.
