I'm glad to hear it's not just me, I thought it might have been my connection that had turned bad, but I have the same problem. Slow loading into maps, very slow loading off all the official web pages (wiki, guildwars.com, guildwars2.com). Tis quite frustrating.

I just tried to access Arena.net. After 10 minutes of waiting, it had not loaded. Is it also down?

No, it's not down, though for me it's loading very slowly and takes several refresh attempt to get everything loaded due to the dropouts.

Problem is all the GW websites and Anet's site, plus the NA guild wars game servers are hosted in the same place, so when one is hard or impossible to reach, they all are. Aion NA website/game servers also seem affected (again they're in the same location behind that bad Level 3 routing area). :/

Btw I've been doing some searching on Level 3 net service and it seems this isn't the first time they're having issues like this. And for the recent problems I'm seeing similar reports that go back upto two weeks this month.

edit: haha oh yes, almost forgot to add. Since this lag started I've been having this weird issue where sometimes I will go to the Guild Hall and it'll be empty (aside from hench) when I look at the map or open the guild window, it's like my guild doesn't exist. I believe this would be the 'disappearing guild' bug I've heard so much about? xD

It's frankly getting quite annoying that they aren't fixing this, from what I understand they are aware of the issues.

The Wiki loading isn't as much of a problem since you can just use a proxy or something like http://anonymouse.org/ to load it, but the guild issue is really getting to me.

Update: Jeff got back to me (saw him mentioned as also being on the case in the other thread) and asked me to resubmit the traceroutes in .pp2 format.

I am in the process of retracing, since I don't have the old ones saved as anything but a screenshot.

Unfortunately since yesterday it seems my signal has been rerouted and I don't get packetloss anymore on the route to Guild Wars.

The reason I say unfortunately is because I've been rerouted before this week and it showed fine at first but then it starting acting up again on that new route as well. So until I go a week without loss I'm not going to call this a success just yet.

Anyone else here been rerouted / no longer experiencing packetloss/login problems as of today?

edit: scratch all of that, website isn't loading again, traces are still bad. :/
