I believe this is why the site is slow during the day hours.....


Now I have anything against the unregistered users but I do believe if you made it registered only, you'd probably get more users to sign up and at the same time lower your bandwidth usage.
That's just my suggestion.

Just a few more days until the new server is going to be here. We are working on making this move before the Jan. 20th update. I will be sure to make a news announcement when the time comes.

The server is ok for me, i either go on at 9am, 5pm or 10pm GMT, it is ok at all times but at 10pm for me it can take it's time, but is working great at the min (10pm here)

As I've seen a couple of threads where posters have suggested that GWG should require people to register before they can access the boards, I'll share my experience.

Before I registered here, I spent a few days perusing the site to make sure that this was the kind of community that I wanted to join. If GWG had been set up to require registration before I could even see what the site was about, I wouldn't have joined.

I think that keeping the website accessible to everybody is vital to community growth and development. Sure, visitors will take up some bandwidth, but today's lurker might be tomorrow's contributor!

I would bet that a good number of people who aren't registered just go to the price check and merchant forums. Maybe just making those registration only?

I know that's what I did for a number of weeks before I actually signed up.

Inde was stating in another thread here in this section that slowness is not due to bandwidth. Any slowness you expierence recently has been due to many users requesting the same database, ect, ect. Basically server overload. They have a new server coming that should ease the load on the current one and make everything a bit better. If im incorrect, please correct me .

Brutally slow, unusable at the moment. Cant get more than 2 pages into the auction listing 'fore it all goes to crap and locks up. A the current moment, there are 1180 people online, 750 guests, 430 users. Love the site, and the auction, but as it is now I'll check the site once or twice a day for the last week and it has been unusable. Really late at nite 4:30-5:00 am PST it is useable but thats at 5:00 in the morning, and I still get random lock ups every 4th or 5th page. Dont get me wrong Im not ragging, just feedback for you. Hope things get sorted soon, best of luck with it(no sarcasm intended). Sents
ps. I dont really like GWO(Mods play favorites tooo much) so please( ) resolve these issues if possible so I can have somewhere to keep up with the latest and greates. Mainly I love the auction and just like perusing the categories as Im sure many others do as well.

PSS If this post doubles it is cause it locks up 4 or 5 times(so far) allready trying to post, apologies.(took about 15 minutes to get post to work proper, with 2 doubles I deleted)

They have the server...
It's just that they haven't implemented/installed(can't find the word) it yet. I think Guru will be down for a while when they actually put the new server in.

Yes really. Yes Seriously. Just when I thought this site couldn't get any slower! It's taken me just over eight minutes to get to this page.

The main site is pretty good now. It has been bad in the past, but now it is tolerable.


I don't know if the auction is part of GwG, it says waiting for reply from www.guildwarsguru.com, but man that site is sooooo slow. Worse than the main sight used to be.

I might get to bid on this item before Friday.


Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class soapclient in /home/guildwarsguru.com/public_html/auction/includes/nusoap.php on line 5450

that is what I get while trying to pst an item for sale

k some server settings just have to be tweaked, I swear there is no load at all and page generation time is below 0.2 seconds, this new server is good It just needs to be adjusted to fit all the people coming in

The [index] page sometimes loads the news banner very very slowly. Everywhere else, though, it's as fast as lightning.

For some reason, I get a message saying that the server can't be found whenever I try to access GWguru from my computer. I'm using a library pc right now.

Err, server seems to be having issues? I often get the "page cannot be accessed/found" whatver it is... like every few minutes i click on a link. Just a heads up on what i have been experiencing...

Also, maybe lots of ppl cant access? i see like only 50 users on...as opposed to pre server move of over 1000 people? Hmmmm.....

There is a good 10 seconds where I just see that brown background before everything loads up. Same when doing a reply.

If you are seeing the IP address, you are most likely being forwarded as your DNS hasn't updated yet. ISP's can take up to 24 hours to update so not really in our control. This could be where the 15 second load is coming from. I'm leaning toward that this will be resolved by itself.

Oh Noes! The 'burbs!

Speed is much improved from about 9 pm pacific. Couldn't access anything then, so gave up and did something else. lol

Now, it's fast, with no hang-ups. Kudos.

Edited: Yes, it was fast, but as soon as I posted this, the site died again, and I've only just now been able to access it again via the numerical IP. Who knows how long that will last.

Slow tbh.
When I see what is taking so long: 'loading from ...adserver...'
Not knocking down on policy, just stating i'm experiencing slow loading.

I cant post a new thread, and the toolbar on the left at the homepage still reads "guildwarsguru.com" so you cant click on anything over there.

It load fast, if it loads at all.
Got some can't find server errors.
Maybe still some dns hickups, my need some time to
its way through dns servers.
When accessing via ip, some features are missing like login and
stuff or pics in auctions.

Alexi, that's the new server IP. I wonder if you're being forward or bounced from DNS entries. I've had an ISP before that had one DNS updated but not the other

I think these things will clear up today for everyone if the change occured 2 days ago.

People should realise that theres very few people on atm, Right now theres 400 reg, 170 guests, the other day there was 1100 people on, 700 were guests, so people arent finding the site.I dont think we can really judge the server response 'accurately'. A quik post dont mean much when theres 400 people on(I realise it was a BUSY weekend).
I for one cannot get to the auction, Im not new to this kinda thing, I know the backdoors but they are closed too. Still having to us the IP to get to the forums, and the auction is unaccessable. Honest feedback.
