Unable to connect to any town? - Guild Wars Forums

Spinny · Apr 08, 2009, 05:24 PM // 17:24

Hai.
I can connect to the char selection screen fine [although it takes quite a while for the box saying 'connecting to arena net' to load/connect] Then once I try to connect to a town/RA it just goes to the loading screen and sticks to 0%, I have actually been having some lag problems today, which is unusual for me.

Anyone else having any problems connecting?

Thanks. Peace.

Lag earlier, DCed mid-quest about 3/4 hour ago, been unable to get past character select screen since due to Err5. Europe, UK. Glad it's not just me.

Hmm. Prolly get some flame for this..but possibly something to do with the update tomorrow?

I read somewhere that Anet was going to announce the update before going live, so it probably won't happen for a couple weeks. Some people were thinking the update would coincide with 4th birthday.......

Don't happen to be with BT in the UK?

me, and a few friends who are on this ISP lost access a few hours back.

lost us a GvG too >.<

Spinny · Apr 08, 2009, 05:52 PM // 17:52

Yep I'm from UK and my ISP is BT.
Urgh.

aga · Apr 08, 2009, 06:08 PM // 18:08

Same happened to me during UW, got a few lag spikes at first, then DC soon after.

I'm on BT aswell -.-

Not really a GW issue, then

Flame your ISP

Olof · Apr 08, 2009, 06:13 PM // 18:13

I am having the same problem.

BT - UK.

Spinny · Apr 08, 2009, 06:15 PM // 18:15

Hmm. Not really getting this :S. If it was the ISP then wouldn't it not be connecting to the server at all? However it's making it to the char selection screen..so it can't be the ISP blocking any ports/IPs right?

Maybe i'm talking aload of garbage :P

Xenomortis · Apr 08, 2009, 06:18 PM // 18:18

I cannot enter the European districts or my Guild Hall.
I suspect the problem is only with the European districts, but I don't know if it's only affecting people with BT.

Smarty · Apr 08, 2009, 06:24 PM // 18:24

FFS BT. OK who do I have to kill to get my GW fix? -.-

Im no expert on how the GW Servers work. but I believe there is an Authentication Server that deals with keeping the client updated, and authorizing login. And the actual game servers that host the content.

connection to the authentication server seems fine. but the content servers are unreachable! :-(

Xenomortis · Apr 08, 2009, 06:46 PM // 18:46

You should be able to connect to non-European districts. Unfortunatly, if you've left your characters in your Guild Hall or on European districts, you can't access them.

Woehero Nakashima · Apr 08, 2009, 06:54 PM // 18:54

Im also having this problem ??.?? and currently having a word with gw support =]
however i'm also on BT ??.??

Tae Lia · Apr 08, 2009, 06:55 PM // 18:55

Also on BT, been getting super bad lag in RA today, been moments when I cannot log onto gws at all for 20 minutes or so, most of my chars are in american dists.

All as mentioned above code 005 etc >_>

Black Metal · Apr 08, 2009, 06:56 PM // 18:56

Yeah, send in a ticket. I've had this happen once or twice, but it was just with 1 char who couldn't load in. They fixed it very fast. Hopefully that's all it will take.

Woehero Nakashima · Apr 08, 2009, 06:59 PM // 18:59

ive been stuck like this since 5:30pm UK time today xD

Yeah, me to, I've sent in a ticket to support, although it looks like it's something to do with BT, which is rather strange :S.
