ok, i've had the game for a while. but recently becasue of a small computer problem i have to re-install my system. which means guild wars was un-installed.

as i try to install it now, it wont go. the firt screen pops up where u select "Install Guild Wars" then in the grey screen that says " Connecting to Arena Net" at the bottom, the loading type bar goes for some time then stops. and the further it goes the slower untill no more go

can anyone tell me whats wrong? PLEASE!! i wanna play!

Try going to http://guildwars.com/support/downloadclient/ and download the client from there, its free and doesnt require a CD. Good luck.

Might be your router's connection? Are you running on NETGEAR?

i had this error...if your running on a network that connects internet from the main computer that gives internet..then disable firewalls and add ports to exceptions
