The worst place is finishing Thunderhead keep and then getting err 7 and finding out that the mission is not complete.

Also in fow and just before getting to the forgemaster to get your armor.

p.s if you think Dragon lair is the most tedious mession ever wait till you get to thunderhead.

The EXACT same thing happened to me, same place same thing. The party I was in decided to try the bonus, cutscene comes up and everyone else presses skip, so I do and Er=7. Darnit.

Err 7 is simply a disconnect error, it can be cause by an Anet server crash, or a crash of any server you hop through to connect with Anet. It can also be cause by a laggy server that causes too many packets from your end to be dropped before reaching Anet, so you can still be technically connected, but get err7 because for all intents and purposes, Anet's server doesn't actually know you're there and drops you.

I've had some embarrassing err 7's in HoH and arena pugs, so far though, nobody's given me grief for "quitting" on them. Luckily errors are pretty rare for me.

Thinking more about this error, and people having it happen in the same specific areas quite often, I wonder if user side cpu lag, such as caused by a ton of crap happening all at once on screen, can actually effect the info being sent back to Anet, causing a disconnect similar to a net lag issue where Anet just doesn't get enough info from you and drops you.

Most embarassing err=7 situation? Standing up to stretch my legs with my laptop and accidentally stepping on the network cable, pulling out the back! D'oh!

Bought the game last June and got 1 or 2 Err=7 in about 2 months.

Two weeks ago, we were trying to get the Divinity Coast bonus and it happened like 8 times in the same day! Believe me, i almost got branded as a "leaver".

I called my ISP and they changed my cable modem.

Never happened since.
