For about a week now Guild Wars has turned from a lag free pleasure to play to a choppy, sometimes utterly frozen throwback to some mid 90's MMO.
Whats being done? Whats the problem? And Why is fixing something taking a week?
The Lag Is Still Horrific

Seriously, I've experienced 0 lag here (pacific coast). None.

I haven't had any lag either. Everything is running the same as it always has for me.

It's real bad on the EU servers, on and off. It's much worse than the "rubberbanding" (failed movement prediction) we previously occasionally got, now we're getting stalls, e.g. the entire game stops for a minute or so, then everything that shouldv'e happened in that minute happens in two seconds. When the stalling happens every two minutes or so, it effectively makes it impossible to play.
I've got a dedicated 10MBit full duplex connection, it's definitely not my connection or ISP, it's a server issue.
It started with the last update.

Yeah it's true. It might only be effecting the European servers/districts but I've been suffering from lag an awefull lot in the past week and it's definately not our machines at fault as there are tonns of people complaining about it in-game.

No lag here.
Sounds like a local issue

Well not being on the USA servers means Im hardly aware except via forums of their state of game. and just because the lag isnt present on the USA servers doesnt mean its a problem with my Pc. Which it isnt, this is a games machine that is kept in as near perfect working order with the equipment I have to play my vast collection of games which dont experiance lag. Except Eve-Online but thats not my fualt either.
The fact is that Guild Wars alone when im playing the EU servers is experiance horrific lag, and others are experiancing this too.
So im asking A.Net for info if they have it, and if they dont Ill have to discontinue playing what is at times an unplayable game until I can find out myself what the problems and how to fix them, outside of my own PC and connection and ISP etc.
Seriously its a widespread pain on the EU server, does anyone have a clue WTF is going on?

Playing on European servers, and having lag at times too. I don't think it's my connection, because we play 2 people at home, and often only one of us would have lag (not always though, sometimes it just freezes and you can watch your HP go down untill getting kicked from server with Err=7).
Alkarzar
I know what you mean, Myself and many friends are finding it very hard to play. Its a weird lag since it will run fine and then bam, your standing still and then it flashs back to action...This is defenitly widespread, Everyone in the party was complaining about it.
Its making the Dragons Lair that much harder.

I play on american servers and experince zero to extremly little lag, just a few rubber banding incidents here and there. However one of my guildies is in sweden and he has bad lag spikes quite a bit, but he does play on the american servers with us, so that might be the problem, they is over on the other side of the pond.

There are lags in Euro servers. I think it occurs more since the last patch update. Last night was the worst. The charc was frozen but all conditions hexes and stuff were running.
Creshnire
I'm getting lag too.. everything's all jerky and rubberbanding effect starts coming in.. didn 't happen to me about a week ago

Playing on the European servers here.
Started to get lag, as others have described, immediately after the last update. It was fine before that.

I've noticed this also (on Euro server) and a guildmate theorized that they're reworking code to put in the two new zones.
Kuku Monk
I get a bit of rubberbanding here and there. Pretty annoying when running from a heartless mob. -US server-
ether
Lots of rubberbanding for me in arenas lately on european server.
Krystal
there is lag everywhere, especially doing missions. People keeps getting lagged out which is pretty annoying while trying to complete a mission.
Mitsu Bishi
I'm on European servers and experience the same lag. The nice thing though, you can keep on playing. Just klick your skills in the wanted combination and you'll keep on using them. It's funny to see my toon going crazy on the opposition on my girlfriend's screen (she's sitting right next to me) when it is stuck and doesn't move on my screen 
Kabale
Same goes for me. I've left them a note @ their support and they replied asking for more details about ISP and stuff, but I let them know it has nothing to do with my ISP/my own setup or anything and that a lot of other players have been experiencing it. I think they're aware of the situation, just a shame they don't tell us what's going on...
eventhorizen
So true, if they told us what the problems were we could undertsand and accept whatever is the issue, but it sees to me most people are getting the impression theyre jut being fobbed off with lame 'check your ISP' solutions.
This is the NUMBER ONE way to lose the trust and respect of your fanbase, besides totally nerfing something so that it breaks the game.
Look at WoW, a little honesty and respect to your players with regards to technical issues goes a long long way.

I've experienced lag on EU servers as well. Was doing missions with my monk, and it get's kinda hard to keep up with the healing when you frequently get 5-10 second lag spikes. Others in the team were complaining about it as well, so it wasn't just me.
Zakarr
I'm playing at Europe servers and have experienced very bad lag. Fortunately today there is no lag or at least not noticeable one. Couple mission was ruined because middle of fight game just stops and suddenly bursts all events in couple seconds. No one could heal, fight or anything. Dead group on the ground. 
deathwearer
I was playing on EU server for 2 months now with my guild but started to lag too much, switched back to American server, some of them followed me 
No wonder with that ugly lag

This happened once or twice during a few Underworld runs for me recently as the whole group couldn't do anything for up to a full 5 seconds. Then others completely lagged out and when we thought they were back to normal, they got disconnected. It is weird. Only in certain towns and in certain instances do the groups I am in experience major lag; LA but not Droknar's, Underworld but not Fissure (lag happens in LA even when no one is trade spamming.).
silvertemplar
Lag for me on EU servers the past week too. I'm "stranded" at Thunderhead Keep because lag and being a monk do not work.
BurningPants
At least there's no monthly fee.
Elena
seems to be less now or is that me ?

Most often for me, the lag comes in somewhat short bursts of 20 seconds or less, and most of the team feels it.
Others, the lag lasts insanely long, and I find out I've lost my internet connection, or someone's downloading files and eating up the bandwith.
Earlier yesterday in the arena, I had a lot of lag at the start of the match, and when I finally seemed to recover, 2 people had d/c'd, and then so did I.
When it's an entire group of people suffering severe lag spikes, I think it's got to be the server running the instance they're in.
