Oh well getting ready to go to work, so I lucked out after playing all day. Hopefully they will have the problem solved by the time I get off.

Yup, definitely down. Good thing I decided to head to Borlis Pass before questing in the Ascalon Foothills, otherwise I'd have had to go through all of those Stone Summits and Snow Ettins again to get to Borlis. Oh well, decent experience for my R/W, and I actually have a somewhat decent sword now thanks to a S.S. Sage.

Just got booted a minute ago, although there was terrible lag a few minutes before that. It'll be interesting to see what the actual issue was, assuming they eventually release that information. Interesting how some people can still be on playing while others can't even get in. Doesn't sound like a server issue, more a network issue of some sort...

i just had the worst lag spike of my life. it seems pretty obvious that the servers are packed. they should have limited the number of games that they sold... at least for awhile. does anyone else turn off local chat when they are in towns now? i can't stand all of the messages.

First thought:

Network person from ArenaNet: "I knew it, we should of gone with the gigabit network routers and Cat6 cabling! Cant believe NCSoft let us install 100mb and Cat5 cabling!!"

Second thought:

>Korean guild member: "Do you the bragging those friggin Americans are shouting? Lets skip sleep, play 24 hours a day and then we will see whos holding the HoH!!"

>American guild member: "Do you the bragging those friggin Koreans are shouting? Lets skip sleep, play 24 hours a day and then we will see whos holding the HoH!!"

>European guild member: "Anyone want to start a guild, we got 5 so far!! *looks faintheartedly around at empty LA....*"

>Developer person from ArenaNet: "I knew it, Americans would get sick of reading about Korean domination from 12:00am - 7:00 am US time zones and Koreans would get sick of hearing about American domination from 12:00am - 7:00am Korea time zones. Now we have to accomodate with server size and speed for everyone! ACK! Just hope Europeans dont get in the mix!!!

Yeah, I frequently turn off local chatter in larger towns. I can still see what the people near me say in their chat balloons (or at least the first few words of it), but if you yell at me in town and I don't respond, I'm probably just not looking in your direction. Best to whisper your hellos.

(Considering "Dreamsmith" is not part of any of my character names, I'm impressed with how many people recognize me in-game, just from the sigs. Thanks, guys!)

Hey, all,

Yes, it's been a bit of a yoyo, and it's not the game that's have the trouble. As it turns out the data center is experiencing network issues. Yes, timing couldn't be worse. We definitely know there are problems with connectivity and with in-game lag right now. We're really sorry this is happening, and are working with our service providers to get things straightened out as soon as we can. We don't have a timeline for you at this moment, but will post on the news page if we get any more info.

Thanks for your patience, and our apologies for this inconvenience!

Wow this is so greate
We getting informed here...
Maybe because i came from WoW, there you nearly never get informed of anything at all.
and here just a short time after the servers are down it's all fixed and it was also stated at the main page.

That's something i call support and communication to the community and even without the montly fee
Go on Arenanet and keep up the good work

So, things are going ok, now for you guys? We're monitoring and it seems accessibility is fine and the gameplay is relatively smooth. Any reports?

Kudos for whatever you did. The game's been running more smoothly for me for the last three hours than it has since the start of early access!
