Server was perfect before transition, now im getting lag spikes, error 7's every hr or so and it took me ages to log in.

I hope that they are still ironing out bugs, but judging by the public relations from the past 6 months, i doubt we'll get any official response on whats happening.

I genuinley wish they would just get their fingers out of their asses, get Guildwars 2 out and close these servers once and for all. Put it out of its misery ffsnake!

*edit* just read the other thread, hopefully they will be ironed out then asap

I do admit that servers seems a bit more wobbly after the move. Was rubberbanding a lot last night in Kamadan. Before there was just some lag, not rubberbanding.

I don't care if you're responding or not, or even if you're reading this at all, but I'm going to set it straight for all the other forum users to see. Me calling BS on your attempts to fight Anet with a website, trying to make them look bad in public, is nothing but on-topic, since it's in direct response to your original post.

On the subject of the quotes. You are deriving a supposed promise from this, implying that ArenaNET owes you something, and are claiming they now somehow broke this promise. If this would be any well-founded, you would be sueing Anet for it, but you're not. The statement 'We're going to keep the servers live as long as anyone wants to play on them' doesn't hold any legal ground. Why? Because you accepted the EULA, and therefore agreed with the opposite:

They don't owe us anything. If you have any legal knowledge (or if you just read the EULA), you'd know that. Cutting fixed costs on a game they are going to discontinue in the future is the rational thing to do. If you have any business knowledge, you'd know that. Corporations are not dirty and evil, but are made of real people with jobs who work hard for their money. If you have any experience in the business world (in other words, have a job), you'd know that.

In short, Anet is not wrong for doing this, because they are allowed to, and because it makes sense from a business perspective.

Its really not like they are working in coal mines in china...

90% of the people in IT sector are massively overpaid for the work they are doing... most don't have the mental capacity to work the problems out before they become problems and need 3x and much time that someone with "more" brains needs... so leeching and trolling in well paid spots...

Almost all of the problems can be avoided by the people with enough experience in the field who deserve the money and don't waste time...

Most misunderstandings and bad press can be avoided by honesty and lack of false advertising on the part of the marketing department...

I knew things will only get worse with time and that i cant influence my isp or anet's isp's... and have no problem with this as this is just a game... no1 is forcing me to play...

but i wouldn't start to play if anet told me that the game i bought will not be the game that im playing after all the updates and changes and network will be constantly scaled down until the experience is unbearable...

hiding behing the EULA is gay... and cowardly... so is not taking responsibility for your mistakes...

but he corporate world is greedy and cowardly...

so gg...

same thign will happen to gw2... so dont get your hopes up...

I'm curious how long some of the people who are raging have played GW.

I can see if you bought the game yesterday, and found survers were downgraded, making the game all but unplayable (provided that is actually true, and it's not just an adjustment period where bugs are getting worked out).

On the other hand, if someone has played for several years off of a one-time fee equivalent to an offline game that has a play life of a week to a month, it would seem like the player has gotten plenty of value, and would have a hard time complaining that the servers were eventually unavailable.

At any rate, I can't imagine that there are any plans to seriously downgrade GW1 before GW2, because it would hurt GW2. I'm one of the people who has come to GW1 because of GW2, and finding an unsupported, laggy game might undermine my enthusiasm for the upcoming release, and even cause me not to buy it.

Precisely because of the kind of accusations that some are throwing (they don't support this game, they won't support 2 either), it would be incredibly foolish if they don't make sure those accusations are groundless.

Go ahead and call me a naive noob. I've played some of the underbelly of the MMoRPG world, and this sure doesn't look like what I've experienced.

I can tell you it is the server as I was logged into Perfect Worlds servers and had good fps and ping.It said smooth as well and had no lag.I got two dces last night in GW.It is not my internet.

Shinx the Reaper · Aug 13, 2010, 07:20 PM // 19:20

Anet going to fix it. Plus Raging and grieving is always in the newer players

This company listens to people (sometimes) but they do get things fix. Idk why but every time a player start talking how much money they spent on a game and how something small like this set them off is funny to watch.

Plus idk how wasting your time making website cause of a small lag issue isn't worth it

Uh, did you do a traceroute (or if on windows, tracert) to see how your packets are being routed through the network. Just because you can reach one place on the Internet w/o much delay doesn't mean that that will hold for others. That's way to naive of point of view...the Internet is much more complex than that.

Multiple 040's while trying to do HA quest, really irritating.

nagisaki · Aug 13, 2010, 08:20 PM // 20:20

Funny, I was experiencing 15k spikes and 300 average ping in the weeks leading up to the server move, but now I'm running at or below 100 for the most part.

For all it matters, I'm based around the Boston, MA area.

That's good, gonna be there for college in 10 days

Thadius Invictus · Aug 13, 2010, 09:54 PM // 21:54

I played four hours last evening/night and had average ping time for me (betwixt 250 and 400ms) I only spiked once and it went to 34k.

I did however notice a couple puzzling things.

1) I was vanquishing Bukdek Byway and the gold helmet came up and called it vanquished and there were still more than 20 Jade Brotherhood wandering around.

2) The whole evening using Discordway sometimes Assassin's Promise would not recharge my skills and gain the energy indicated even though the foe died within the required time limit upon casting.

3) Occasionally I would try to use a skill and I would get the sound and message saying I hadn't enough energy even though my energy bar indicated I had enough.

I am sure the quirks will be worked out in due time.

Lagging pretty bad in Guildwars at the moment. Just ran a speedtest, no problems on my end.

Carinae · Aug 14, 2010, 05:14 AM // 05:14

Lag was fixed today. Everything was fine.

wilebill · Aug 14, 2010, 02:59 PM // 14:59

Everything fine here. No problems.

rhade_adama · Aug 15, 2010, 06:20 AM // 06:20

I only had a ping problem once, 2 days after the server change I tried doing a few quests in Sorrow's Furnace and disconnected a bunch of times, and this was the only area that gave me this trouble. My ping rate actually improved a bit overall with the server move now giving me rates less than 100ms most of the time.

Did the last part of prophecies for my guardian title without any lag. And that while playing on US server because the european are just a bit empty.

Horrible ping spikes to 2-3k every few minutes.
