Every time I try to connect to any arena other than the Amnoon in the Zaishen Challenge, i get kicked out. Now I can't even connect to GW (when I try to recreate my PvP char). Is anybody else having/have had this probem and does anybody have a solution?

edit: I now cannot even connect to guildwars.

Yeah, seems a bunch of us are having similar trouble.

A while ago I was sitting in War Camp chatting with a friend and I suddenly got disconnected. Since then I can't connect as my Warrior. I can connect as my Ranger, but if I try to map somewhere else I get an error.

I can now only connect on my mesmer, neither my monk nor my ranger refuse to comply.

Yep, all my PvPs can only load into HA D3, nowhere else. If when they try to log on they were not being sent to D3 the loading screen just freezes. So I have to reboot GW (or wait for the Err) and try again hoping I get sent to D3.

When I try to just manually close GW, my computer crashes. Like 5 minutes ago.

I'm in the same boat. I can sometimes log into a town but if I try leaving or changing districts I get booted. Then if I get booted I can't load gw at all until I restart my computer. Which in turn brings me back to the original problem :S

Edit: I did report the problem too.

Now my mesmer won't even load. This never happened to me before a-net started lagging up the servers with all of the Factions crap that they couldn't load onto their CD's. And then it only started happening today, because the little lightning bolt would not get off of my screen for the whole time that I was still playing.

Been getting progressively worse past week or two - surprise! Enjoy factions!

Keep restarting GW and trying - I bet it's a district issue just like it was for me and 4 of the 8 people in my HA group I was in. There seem to be select districts we can get into (all 4 of us could only stay in D3 of HA). When we restarted, if we were not going to be sent to D3 by the game, it wouldn't load - at all. But if we restarted again and we were sent to D3 this time, we could get in - just couldn't leave the district.
