Today I was in a B/P group doing tombs. I moved to get a shot at the enemy when my character kept on running. Trying to move simply changed the direction but I wouldn't stop untill I got stuck amongst a bunch of minions then teleported back to a point where everyone was at the edge of my radar.

Also too many times (mostly in towns) I would get half way across a bridge then when I get to the end it would send me back to the middle. Most of the time it stops but once it kept on doing it. No matter what way I went, I kept getting teleported back to the center of the bridge.

Losing to around a rank 30 guild when we had them. Painful when you're the monk and you see things stop moving, but you can hear everything through vent.

Humm... Worst lag...
Probably when I was in HoH as a Spirit Spammer for a nice Necro B-Spike. I go to setup another spirit. Realise that I want to put it elsewhere. So, I tap "
S" to stop the spirit so I can place it elsewhere. Somewhere along the casting, tapping "S" I got a nasty little lag. Next thing I know I am now halfway in one of the gold pillars (On the Altar). I couldnt move out. I kept turning in circles. This lasted long enough for me to get wanded to death by an enemie Ele that obviously thought it was a great laugh. I saw myself die. Then, inspite of all that happened, I lag out to finish the job 0_0!

This also happened to me in Under World (HA). Setting a QZ for a ViM group I was in next to the wall infront of the bridge I lagged then ended up in the wall.. We didnt last long and I promptly got Wanded to death. I managed to get a SS of that one but since Im not at home I cant post it

The worst for me was is being in the middle of a GvG battle when a massive lag spike happens, you know were the icons start blinking, and you can see or interact with anyone or anything.

While doing defend droks I really did lag myself to death: Had lag, screene frooze was expecting an err7 any moment, then screen popped back to normal, saw about 20 empathy dmg things pop up above my head. And I died, lag freeze, screen back saw me being rebirthed and die. Lag cleared, saw that my brother, who has the same ISP as me, had err7ed already.

This one time in fow, I just lagged up reallllllllly badly. For like 10 mins i was just standing there with my icons blinking. I keep typing randrom stuff and all that. Then suddenly everything i had missed out ie what i couldnt see due to lag happend really quickly and I caught up to the group. It was quite freaky since my internet disconnected.

I was running the flag in a GvG. I placed the flag and was trying to turn around and head back to our base. Somehow I ended up doing a 360 and running the wrong way. By the time I realized this and tried to turn back around, it was too late. I died pretty quickly, and my guild thought I was a complete idiot til I explained about the lag.

Im a Paladin should really post here, sad sad story...

Really? What did IAP do? Or not do?

Hell's precipe - just this weekend. Much like the OP - we had noted some minor lag as we hit the battle right before the final with the lich. In the final battle the lag continues. (we had 4 people and 4 henchies). Then the lag spike - I'm an Ele stuck floating in mid cast. It was easily a 30 second lag and I thought Oh - no - not now....then lag ends - I'm dead - as is the entire rest of the party save one Human controlled Ranger. After a round of "WTF - OMG LAG!" by everyone the ranger proceeded to redefine "winnowing" by haning out with a long bow and slowly plunking the lich's health from half to dead and we won the mission.

Crazy stuff.

Whoo! I lose! xD

Something I've noticed quite a bit more recently is that when sending characters Searside, it takes quite a bit for your team to join. I've had more err7s (for others; never timed out in a group myself) there than anywhere else. 12-4 ftl. >_<;;

Lag made me sell a 14-22 gold fiery crystalline sword of fortitude +29, 14 while enched, found in like the first week of gw.

Yesterday the lag was so bad that, during an Ettin run I have done sucessfully about 30,000 times, I DIED. Right there on the beach outside Ascalon Settlement. It was a very pretty resting place, I admit.

I was swarmed by Mergoyles and Bog Scales, and MEGA-LAG struck. First death on that run in like 5 months.

I respawned, by Farmer whatshisname, who had a shocked look on his face, and a very pissed Necro girl went and owned the map....the entire map, North Kryta Province.

But it was a good run: Sup Vigor, Sup Healing, Sup Marks, Sup Earth, Major Vigor x2, Major Absorb, Minor Tactics and a poisonous bow string.

I accidently sold my Victo´s Blade to a common merchant because of lag

Lagged 70 ink right into the trash.

Doing a Thirsty River run, just collected pay before we go for the Monk boss. Got 4 rows of minions, it'll be a piece of cake. We get up to it, lag spike, restored speed. All minions dead half my health gone and my team dead. Outbreak of "WTF MM U SUCKZ!!! GIMMIE MY MUNEY!!!" At that point I repayed them in a zone and just logged off, I was too disheartened to keep playing.
