Anyone else having problems with gw wiki since they moved to curse servers?

I know its not me, I have tested my connection, bandwidth etc and can load any website just fine.

Yup, doesn't load for me.

Amelia · Dec 05, 2010, 07:46 AM // 07:46

Either very slow to load, or not at all...any solution?

Try reloading the page, it normally works for me.

Oh, I have...over and over

not having trouble with any other sites, just the GW Wiki...and only recently.

fine for me. Could be the ads.

http://www.guildwiki.org/Main_Page loads instantly for me here in Ohio USA. I am running Firefox with Adblock Plus. But also loaded instantly with IE and Chrome. Mysterious.

Zanagi, since ANet is just next door, just drop by and ask!

For whatever reason, when I clicked on your link, the page opened instantly--as opposed to the lack of success with using my favorites link. So, thanks!

I don't have problems connecting to the wiki, but there have been some formatting issues creep in. For example, when you go to the "Unique Items" page, the last two columns are blocked by the "Recent Activity" overlay.

I can vouch for Swingline that I am having similar problems with the GW wiki.

Loading the main page is fine and dandy, loading several subpages is a hassle (not always so). Ex: I am trying to determine the location of several bosses and some of their pages do not load (completely random).

I probably should have, anyways the site is working again for me

Lord Dagon · Dec 05, 2010, 06:55 PM // 18:55

sounds like what this site does since the curse move......

anyway works fine for me.

Don't forget, there is like three Guild Wars wiki now.

This is the old one before the Curse move: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Main_Page

This is the new one after Curse move: http://www.guildwiki.org/Main_Page

The old one gives me trouble with pages that just won't load and such. But the new one works perfectly. Make sure you're using the new one and not the old one. Might solve your issue.

Old Guild Wiki - don't use it anymore.
New Guild Wiki - on Curse, moved there recently.
Official GW Wiki - hosted and supported by ANet.

Cool Name · Dec 05, 2010, 09:06 PM // 21:06

Are there any differences between the curse and official wiki in what content they have? I use the official one but is there anything I might be missing out on, by not using the curse one?

Ahh my bad. Thanks for correcting that. Got them mixed up.

Doesnt load immediately but claims it is done. If I reload the page it loads instantly.

Swingline · Dec 07, 2010, 11:22 AM // 11:22

Its loading fine now. May be a little slow at times but the problem seems to have been corrected.

Probably not a lot of difference in overall content, but I find that some info is laid out better on one than on the other, so I tend to use both, depending upon what I'm looking for. (It just personal preference - I can't say either one is objectively better.)

P.S. Thanks Spyder for pointing out the URL change. I just assumed the old URL would be linked to the new. If it will be, it ain't yet.
