I would recommend before actually playing to download all images before doing anything ingame. This will take a while, but you won't have any issues after that.

1. Right click on the Guild Wars Icon
2. Go to Properties.
3. In the Target where it says something "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" put at the end a space then -images
(It will look like "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -images)
4.Once done remove the space and -images and start up Guild Wars.
Have fun and Happy Hunting.

Maybe its because Kamadan has alot of "Lag" to most users, due to the Extremly High activity. I'd Suggest you start using Different Districts (i.e. European English Districts, once you start loading Kamadan faster, and faster, Then you can start using different Districts.
