Earlier today, several of Guildwar's Servers were down temporarily.
This only affected you if you tried to load into the zones/Had a character in the zone.
If any of your characters are in the zone, your entire account will lock up, and you wont be able to go on any char.

Was there an announcement of this miskav?

Fril Estelin · Jul 22, 2009, 01:03 PM // 13:03

Anyone logged in can tell us the IP address of their GW server? (it's in the "ping" window on the bottom right corner, with the little circle icon which is green, orange or red)

miskav · Jul 22, 2009, 01:09 PM // 13:09

No Inde, there wasn't.
But this has happened several times over the past 4 years, each and every time it was a single server (Checkable by looking @ the IP adress when you get the 007/040 code).
It's the same this time aswell.

Yeah now its working anyways. Happened for me also after tried to zone.

jiggles · Jul 22, 2009, 02:18 PM // 14:18

I left gw on all night by accident (afk in my gh) didn't dc/still haven't dc'ed.

miskav · Jul 22, 2009, 02:24 PM // 14:24

That wont happen either, jiggles.
The GH servers never went down. (asfar as I know)

Sookie · Jul 22, 2009, 02:30 PM // 14:30

It's still happening and has been for me for 3 days intermittently and still happening as of 9:30 CDT (14:30 UTC)

Everything is fine here

Puebert · Jul 22, 2009, 02:35 PM // 14:35

I can log in.

USA

Sookie · Jul 22, 2009, 02:45 PM // 14:45

I can log in...I just cannot go outside into an instance. That is where my character eithers rubber-bands or freezes and then the 007.

North Central Texas.

dilan155 · Jul 22, 2009, 03:05 PM // 15:05

i can do anything
from USA

Abedeus · Jul 22, 2009, 03:13 PM // 15:13

That would explain why my friends list is offline.

Okay, maybe that people are also too bored.

Anyway, no problems in Poland, and no lags.

Not too sure about this. Was getting Err040s a few hours ago trying to load my chars which were in the gh. Got the same thing for chars outside of the gh as well. This was in Euro.

Hmm, amusing notion that they would have servers specifically for Guild Halls...

I always assumed that all GW servers were capable of handling any zone, any outpost, or anything... From a server resource allocation standpoint, it wouldn't make much sense to dedicate servers to specific uses, but I suppose it could happen.

Sir Seifus Halbred · Jul 22, 2009, 06:04 PM // 18:04

So, it is not just me. I made a thread about it here.

I can't even log in. USA Here.

paddymew · Jul 22, 2009, 06:04 PM // 18:04

I could log on, but I kept on getting 007 errors ("My name is Error... Connection Error...") whenever I pressed Play on my chars.

EDIT: Server IP: 206.127.147.169

Yeah a couple years ago there was a melt down in one of the PvP server cores and everything relating to the battle isles was totally inaccessible.

But as for this problem, last night I was getting crazy lag spikes on and off for a few hours. But I never got kicked.

Sir Seifus Halbred · Jul 22, 2009, 06:22 PM // 18:22

For anyone having issues. I fixed mine, so hopefully it'll work for you.

Uninstall Guild Wars completely/restart your computer/go to the official site and download the client/install it. It worked for me.

Now I did a uninstall, not reinstall. So I'm not sure if a reinstall will do the same thing/work. Hope this helps.

This is quite easily checkable by getting people from different regions to go to the same zone a few times a day, over a period of a few days, and then checking the IP of the instance/town.

In most cases it'll always be the same IP.
