Just FYI, the servers are not *down*. I still have firends playing right now.
They MAY have become overloaded.

well they knew how many people pre ordered the game, they bragged about it on the site all the time, so they should have been able to handle it, and they game updates while you are playing it, so its not deliberatly been shut down, it will probably be weeks before they fix it, guess i should have played one of the games with a monthly fee.....

Do you think it saved when we all got disconnected cuz if not im gonna be MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL. I just purchased this game got it all up and running and then the servers go caput 
Me thinks, blizzard and arenanet must be using some cheap ass servers they had left over from diablo 2 
So far I must say the controls feel a lil clunky and the main guildwars website doesn't really seem to communicate anything regarding the status of their server. Well I did manage to save 10 bucks by purchasing this at Fry's, but still I'd like to get my 40 dollars out of it

Well, lets see how fast they can fix this. It will be a real test to the Devs and a test to see if playing a free online game is worth it.
I always wondered how they will fix issues like this with no monthly fee....
People working for Peanuts there? lol

View Who's Online
Most users ever online was 1726, Today at 03:32 PM...
ha ha ha.
I'm curious. On my side of the monitor, my name is listed first on the "who's on." Is this the same for everyone? ;D
'cause, out of that many users, I think that'd be pretty cool.

Yeah, they really do need some official support notification service.
That way there is a one stop location for people to check when things go wrong!

This is not the way to get people to buy the game and play....they need to be a bit more available than this...

It would appear form the pattern that is happening with disconections, their could be a cascade routhing problem. As got booted about 10 mins after a firend and we have the same provider in the same area.
this woudl also explain why the support page is off.

NOOOOOOOOOoooooo! What shall we ever do! I wonder what caused the servers to go down? Maybe they were overloaded?
Lebennin
I'm yet another person that can't log on! Is there no place we can turn to get an update on the problem?! Lol Doesn't seem like they though that through much. I hope it'll be fixed SOON cuz I sure would hate to have to find something else to do on my (thank god) day off from work. O.o

I think that they might be filtering out the pre-ordered clients from ones who have acutally bought the retail cuz I was longed on up untill two hours ago when all of a sudden my login expired and I ran to buy my copy of Guild wars. ALthough some of my friends who havent bought retail are still online and playing with me.
Still Messy!!
I hope they fix it and get things back to normal!!
We definately need Gaile Grey to make a statement to fans here right now, or they should announce on Guild wars website :P I mean cmon its a day after launch and you still have serious problems that could cause everyon so much problem, guys you're supoe to be the best...

whatever the reason - this doesn't bode well for future reviews... hopefully they fix this issue soon, I've been dying to play this game for some time and not being able to create a character and get underway is absolute torture -

Same, same, same..problems here. I agree with Bobum, that message for some reason ticked me off. It's not my internet connection, that's just fine thank you, and the message should be changed to put blame where it belongs, not on us. Hope they get back up soon though. Funny thing is that quite a few of our Guild was on, but about half and hour ago, it started showing just one person on, even though there were more than that.

There is a new news on the main web site,
Here is what it says:
Let's hope they do what they say.

yeah people (like me :P) are still online but you can't travel anywhere. America is slowly winning back the favour of the gods though

Can you imagine allthe commotion going on on their end?! After 5 some-odd years of development and then finally launching... and POOF! 2nd day running all goes crazy. They must be freaking.
