Well, this was back before the great MM nerf of '06. You see, back in those days we could raise many, many minions. But then you young'uns decided that that wasn't fair, so's you nerfed 'em. But anyways, I had a MASSIVE army going. Bigger than I'd ever had. I was doing FoW and I managed to keep all the minions alive through some bizarre twist of fate. I had like 60... it was glorious... but then I lagged out. I get online 2 seconds later and I get 7 rangers screaming at me that the minions killed all the ghosts. It was so funny that I nearly cried...

I was playing Urgoz's Warren last night and after about 5 hours, we killed him. I had Urgoz's Longbow drop for me 
, I run to pick it up and I froze about 5 feet away from it. Sure enough, err=7. That pissed me off

when i played kgyu, they had a monk err7 in the beginning of the match.

Merchant-selling lag spiked both bortak's items (when they were expensive), my fleshweaver, and a friend's perfect curses staff ... needless to say my friend was obviously pissed, and I spent a few weeks looking for another one just like it.
... since then if I ever lag at merchant I don't get irritated and hit the "Sell" button 5 or 6 times. Totally owned myself.

No 'disasters' here, though lag has certainly messed things up before. Freezing in HA = ftl.

Not like your story where you "boom" lag out and in 30 seconds they rolled back the databases housing data for a million accounts. |
next time try not to read into someone post when you clearlly could not read it to begin with. i stated it was missing because of the rollback for one. and for two try and find were i mention 30 second!

Repeatedly 'rubber banding' with lag back onto the same staircase, as a flag runner in GvG. Eventually gave the opponents a Morale Boost before I could get out.

zomg rofl!!
I had this kinda rubber-band lag soooooo many times doing Tombs (HoH). Once I was playing with balanced team and gosh... on the 5th stage or w/e it was, I was rubber-banding with the ghost trying to get to the damn top the hill. I must've done it like 20 times... When I was out of it I was on the other end of the arena (the other team's starting place)
We're on TS and omg I swear my friends we're laughing so hard.. I was shouting my lungs off like I was saying "OMFG!! GUYS IM LAGGING!!! NOESS!!!"... our 2 monks was all over the place healing me and the party. Lucky we went against apparently minion factory newbies and quickly took care of it. Oh gosh I was lucky b/c i didn't get err=7'd. Well we did make it to the Courtyard but lost there. Funny stuff but *a bit scary*... not quite a disaster
carry on guys.
Mavrik
whats weird is I don't lag or drop in prophecies but the moment I move over to the Factions area then I lag almost every 15mins. you could set a watch by it. And its usually just me that freezes. I'll come back to "life" and find the battle is over or I'm almost dead and my team already is.
SirShadowrunner
Last night beat the Raisu Palace mission and lagged out loading the
Imp. San. after trying with 4 different pugs, *sigh*....and now have to
re-do again.
Also had Togo and Menhlo get stuck on Vizunah sq. when running to
second big fight and missed 3 swords by 15secs.
I hope the lag gets fixed someday.......

Well, this might have been a lag spike, but I hadn't noticed any lag effects at all. And it wasn't a disaster, just a very strange event.
In Druzach Thicket at a point on a line 2/3 the way from Sant Anjelica's Shrine to The Eternal Grove, there were three Mantoids in a river, two Stormcallers and one hunter. No boss. Nothing else in the area. I decided to shoot them from above, few blasts of barrage would take out the Stormcallers and the hunter would by then be about hitting my pet and the warriors.
I opened fire. And instantly three members of the party were dead, and the rest of us had maybe 20% to 50% hit points. Less than a second later the rest of the party instantly died, all of us who had survived the first blast. I was running 4% plus, and henchies did not have heavy DP.
I can only assume this was lag related. Even though I had not noticed any lag effects while questing in the Thicket.

doing the new Tombs of Primeval Kings, 3 times in a row lagged out when fighting the last bosses
not that big of a deal now that the tombs items are worth nothing, but still frustrating

Was doing the Arborstone Mission the otehr day and a Gothic Sword Dropped for me. Req. 8... I was like SWEET!! - When I headed over to it, my screen locked up completely. Luckily about after 30 secs. I didn't get DC though and I was abel to get my sword b4 the rest of the team went ahead and finished the mission, was close!!
but I have lagged hard and gotten DC'd in Tombs and Deep.. so yeah, those are the worst for me.

I spent a good 45 mins finding my way to that stupid boss only to have to do it all over again.

Also sold my shards to the merchant, after a failed run to the forgemaster. Now my necro owes my ranger another 105 shards and will hold onto Paulus's symbol forever.

I've had no major lag problems overall, but I have been getting quite a few err 007 errors lately...

In FoW, a gold Chaos axe drops for me. I finish up the combat while peeking at it (req. 8) and go to pick it up. The lag hits and I lag out, disconnected from Guild Wars. I come back on going "shit shit shit!!!!"
The Warrior in the group sends me a whisper telling me that it was a godly Sundering Chaos Axe of Fortitude and, sorry as he was for my predicament, it was going into his collection
At a later date, I grouped up with a familiar looking Warrior only to see him using it. We had a laugh, I had a virtual cry, and we kicked some ass.
I want my axe back

Doing Sanctum Cay bonus a few weeks ago for my Protector Title. We reach the Gravestone, turn around and the ghost is stuck... we go back to sort him out. 10 seconds later, i drop!
Its only Sanctum Cay you say? Try the same thing happening another 4 times... twice i lagged out running past the Dock to the Bonus zone.

To prevent selling things like Ecto's etc in lag situations, try keeping your inventory separated by an unsellable item. Starter Armor and weapons work nice for this as does Gwen's broken flute.

That used to be one of my favorite things about being the MM.....if you lag out, you take everyone down with you

Lag, eh?
The worst lag disaster I ever had was when I was out romping in Pockmark Flats with my Ranger about ten months ago... I killed a mob of stone elementals, and imaging my surprise when I get: black dye and a sapphire. Sweet! I click towards it, only to see the dreaded slowing effect. Smaller and smaller steps until my poor Ranger was standing completely still. The skills I activated flashed but didn't trigger. My Wolfy stopped moving. Seconds ticked by. Then...
Connection with server was lost. Err=07
Yeah, that was probably the worst time.

Oh, and I lagged out during a free Droks run when I was a newbie... a few mins away from Rankor, and during a 17 win streak in RA.

I was in Urgoz' Warren. We finally reached Urgoz and I typed in "Woohoo it's Urgoz".
Err 7'ed before I got to press enter.

Guesting for Imperial Deathsquad. Error 7'd. They lost.

One more time. Error 7! They're still in that match.

I've never lost anything from Lag.
But today it was funny.
Stopped in my tracks while fighting a mob with some friends.
FOr like 2-3 minutes.
Then when it all came back it shot through EVERYTHING that has happned in like 5 seconds. It was an experience....Numbres everywhere...watching the mob cast like 30 spells in 5 secs...etc..

Err7 while doing Urgo'z Warren is never fun. Luckily for me it was quite in the beginning but that's not very good for the team though...

The other day I was trying to cap Feast of Corruption for my Nec from ol' Maw the Mountain Heart... fought my way up to Dreads from the warcamp... actually killed him... went to cap.. then got disconnected b4 my sig kicked in.. haven’t been back yet.. though Im probably due this weekend
Marty Silverblade
Well, i was doing the Dragon's lair mission a month to two ago, and I was waiting for all of the group to realise that the boss had died and they could start capping. Anyway, some noob rushed through while i was eqipping Grognars defender. This caused me to drop it in the other area, therefore unable to pick it up. I was angry. Then the same thing happened again with my Malinon's Shield. I was very very angry. I then decided to leave the bonus for the rich people with too much money and the poor noobs with nothing to lose. I hate that mission.
To be honest, this post really has nothing to do with lagging, just me, two green shields and a really really nooby guy.

Silent Kitty
Every time when monsters attack me, my computer starts to lag for more than 20 seconds. It has been that way since Factions came out. I simply create a factions character and move to Kryta and problem solved. Factions is ugly anyway.
EndoftheSyringe
I have the same problem, Silent. When I am in factions I have imense lag. And then it is easily fixed by going to prophecies. I have to actually turn down my in-game settings when in Factions.
I've never had any major lag problems, but you guys make me paranoid.
