Search on the site is screwed of course, so just link me to it and clsoe this if theres already a massive thread.

Today...The American Districts are Lagged Out.

You cannot even stand in an American outpost today, Its so laggy. And all you hear in all chat is "OMG THE LAGGGGGGGG".

Doesnt matter the outpost...It seems to be effecting Factions outpsots in general.

It isn't "just me" because I normally dont lag, and try going to any outpost (like House dist1) and all you hear is "LAGGGGG".

I have to go to International Districts just to normally play the game in outposts. (Cause this isn't effecting Int. dist's, and the uro palyers in my guild also note nothing is wrong)

I noticed this too. It's actually not as bad in most of the Luxon Outposts except for Breaker's Hollow, but I think that's because of all the supply run farmers. The Supply Run quest for the Kurzicks is right outside House zu Helzer, right? Maybe that's why the game is sooo lagged there. Lots of farmers coming and going all at the same time.

Lots of d1 american servers are VERY laggy. Wonder what the problem is..

Yup, I was doing the same thing going to int districts or if I could the highest number districts, it usaully helped, but yes it was very bad in many places.

I believe you are looking for this:

GW tech e-mail on server malfunction(pls read)

Whether or not this incident is still because of what the above link concerns, is unclear. If you are having lag issues, move to a less crowded district, or international. Instances still appear normal and I've played on and off all day today.

The Kurzick towns and outposts were really bad. House zu Heltzer was unplayable... you would walk a step, wait twenty seconds, walk a step, wait thirty seconds. It was the same for everyone--obvious from chat. In the explorable areas, it wasn't so bad.

Yeah the lag has been so bad recently I've been finding other games to play. I got on earlier today and it was laggy in my freaking guild hall. I was the only one there.

Well gee, this is how most of cantha has been for me since I got factions...........I can barely play (and I cant play my monk since people die before I can even hit an orison!) so I have been doing stuff in tyria....almost have my cartographer title!

Since I'm pretty much stuck with henchies for a while, I roam around the Int. Districts. Smooth as silk.

M1h4iL · May 15, 2006, 04:17 AM // 04:17

I notice that in the outposts there is a lot of lag walking around, but if I go outside with hench then there is no lag, hope its fixed soon.

From what I've read, House zu Heltzer d1 has had serious lag issues (off and on) from pretty much the day of release. Last night I couldn't even open my inventory, buy from merchants, or even recruit henchmen without insane lag. This was only in d1, however, as d2 and beyond were perfectly fine, lag-wise. I had no problem going to d2, but d1 is usually a better spot to find mission PUGs and stuff. This is easily the worst lag GW has ever had IMO.

Mavrik · May 15, 2006, 05:25 AM // 05:25

I lag/freeze almost every 10 mins on the faction servers for america... but yesterday (saturday) I kept error=7 every 5 mins while just standing in LA.
