Is it just my Guild? We are from all over the planet. All of us have been getting lag so bad the past few weeks the game is almost unplayable!

WTF ANET? We had a "Server Upgrade" a while back and I am wondering if that was to reduce the number of nodes on the farm? WHAT A JOKE!!! HELLO....EARTH TO ANET...COME IN ANET!!! We have all done extensive ping and tracert tests and its NOT our ISP's!!!

I wont even start to comment on other "issues" related to updates of late but it seems obvious SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG!!

Please post if you have been having this issue as well. Heck, post if you have not been having it! (If you have played a reasonable amount in the past two weeks that is.) Maybe we can get a "wake up call" through as I know ANET/NCSOFT trolls these forums.

Mine's always been like this. A bit of lag, but not too much.

I don't know why it seems that everyone in your guild is lagging, but I doubt that your guild is the focal point of all the latency problems =/

ive had MAJOR lags recently!!! unbearble!!! UGH

the only explanation i can find in ANET's favor is that they are preparing the servers for the beta testing of C3

I think tonight was the laggiest ive been in a while, enough to error7 tonight, but i was in a very crowded district.

On the most part, lag isnt much of an issue for me, but tonights AB was unquestionably laggy.

I think its the PvP double points weekend. More users maybe?

On a side note, I wonder how many WoW players post on forums while queing to log in?

Usually my connection with Anet is rock solid but tonight it is terrible and I keep getting dropped by the server.

Lordhelmos · Jul 24, 2006, 05:54 AM // 05:54

I'm getting the same problem. My entire 6 man team just got booted out of zen daijun. There is something fishy going on with the servers.... me thinks the server isn't liking the taste of dervish.

yhm · Jul 24, 2006, 05:56 AM // 05:56

i got err7 like 6-7 times tonight while in mission(riverside bonus).Worst part is, i am playing my MM.

Opeth11 · Jul 24, 2006, 05:57 AM // 05:57

Hm, I havn't played at all today, so I guess that throws out my theory of consistancy =/

Stolen Souls · Jul 24, 2006, 05:58 AM // 05:58

I'm having the same problems. Usually I have no trouble with lag, but tonight is aweful. I got error7 once, and I'm constantly having the "treadmill effect"...where I keep 'running' but stay in the same spot.

Past few days I've had the game occasionally lag up as if I was on a wooden modem - pausing for 30 seconds at a time, unfreezing just long enough for everyone to rubberband all over the place then freezing again. At first I thought it might be my internet, but then it started happening to other people with vent staying at a sub-100 ping throughout.

Seems possible, a number of times when ABing tonight a look on the morale chart indicated that one team was at a disadvantage before the match even started.

Also I seem to have the "0 Files Remaining" load screens for a longer period.

I've had Guild Wars since the day it has came out and I experienced my FIRST Error 7 tonight

Phrozen_ · Jul 24, 2006, 06:11 AM // 06:11

I think it's cause of the preview event, theyre streaming the new content to us - i noticed when i was lagging the update icon (lightning bolt) in the top right was there.

Red Locust · Jul 24, 2006, 06:16 AM // 06:16

I've probably dropped / error7'ed out of about 8 GvG's this weekend, and had a lot more instances of severe lag with up to 20s delays. Maybe it's the fact that this was double factions weekend and everyone was playing, but it was very frustrating. I don't usually get this many error7's.

Thats pretty much same thing thats happening to me past few evenings too.All i can say is GG Anet

.Small price to pay for a free game,cept of course the expansions

Angelica · Jul 24, 2006, 06:21 AM // 06:21

I never experience any lag before, but in these last two weeks I had plenty of it I even got my PC to freeze several times too.
I hope this will be a passing stage and all will be normal again.

happykesh · Jul 24, 2006, 06:22 AM // 06:22

*Sigh*

everumlupus · Jul 24, 2006, 06:36 AM // 06:36

in a simular situation its been so bad that ive been in the middle of no where with no enemies and then i just end up dead swarmed with enemies... its very annoying

LenTano · Jul 24, 2006, 06:40 AM // 06:40

Well if it's about the PVP weekend and the server farm is gimp from it shame on ANET! So the next time I see "PVP EVENT" in login screen I guess thats our clue to play somethig else for two weeks!

And the hits keep commin because next weekend is yet another LAG event!

From the Dragon Fest O DOOM till now it's been one thing after another!

WoW player flame eh? NOT! Sounds like ANET FANBOY trying to spin the issue! LOL In less than 1/2 hour we have a TON of posts from people having this issue. The likes of Racthoh and other Vet players are hardly WoW flamers!

(Tips hat to Racthoh...ya made me rich bro!!)

We have a ton of servers, more than enough to handle extra folks who play due to special events. The reports of lag are perplexing to me, but I freely admit I'm not on that sort of technical team, and I cannot make any sort of guess on the cause.

I will check with the Server Team tomorrow. They "live" next door to my office, and are the nicest and hardest working individuals! If they have some insight, even if it's just "We're aware and are working on it" I think that would be a relief to you to know. So I'll ask and see what there is to share on this.

In the meantime, do not throw GW in the trash!

We'll see this through together!
