I remember at one point i was in pre-searing, and someone wanted to do the "res sig" quest. So, we join up, and this guy kept going back and forth because of my "slightly" slower entering time...

Had to exit out and get back on, no problem... but wow, was that fun for him? (Perhaps i'd understand if i like to run back and forth aimlessly)

Anyhow, about 5-9 seconds to load.

I load about 30 secs when I had started the game freshly, but after playing a while it takes up to 2 minutes. i got 256 RAM, my HDD has troble defragmenting and its impossible to do it cuz its too fregmented. BTW my best load was 5 sec when i was in the desert, and after i had used ram-freeing application about 50 times. My worse loading map is the PvP in the Denravi/Fort koga arena - i load in 1 min and i lag very much. My loading is always at 0% (except when in a completely new area) and it jumps to 100% after downloading (if necessary ) but then its the long part - i can sometimes see party window - thats when they see me as loaded - but after that i gotta wait about 10 secs to load then 15 secs to de-lag.
i'm using 512k connection.

I don't know my specs, but my comp takes about 20- 30 seconds until I can see the game interface, but another 10secs before all the characters load on screen.

I find it best to reduce graphic settings, and stop all programs running in the background ( with the exeption of anti virus/spyware programs).

Put alittle more RAM in now - and I take about 20 secs to get in like AScalon Dist 1, and about 10-20 more to get everything right on screen in.

Instances load in about half the time.

Does RAM determine the speed of loading?

Thanks.

Ash.

It takes me a long time also, I'm connected Instantaneously but it takes forever to load the Characters and map, I will see my skill bar then the party bar but everything else will take a long time, then when it does finally load I lag some.. oi, http://www.memoryx.net/3112076.html , I'm getting this for my comp and I hope that it helps but I dunno, Right now I have 256mb of installed ram so that will put me up to 768mb. I have no clue about my Internet it's DSL and I have XBL so it can't be too bad..

i'm bout the same as ash, cept on missions and junk-OMG tried to do ice caves-took about 30 seconds to start, but after that the group had already done so much i stood still for about a min and a half, the fact there was a minion master in the group didn't help either-I LAG LIKE CRAZY!

I got 256 MB and just about cleaned my whole comp for GW, i need more ram like crap

1G High Speed Ram (Some Silly Overclocks) AMD 64(i'd hug the on Die Memory Controller For this very reason if i could :P) everything on Highest (Higher graphics settings take longer to load) and a 2mbps Connection, about 3 seconds on the very first map loaded (with all the player models for the first time), after this, i hardly get to see the loading screen (much less than a second)

master, if it says ur speed is 100mps, thats showing your network speed. try checking it out somewhere else.
loading for me when i first boot up the game ( if its within about 5 min of booting up my PC ) can take like 10 seconds. after that its always under 2 seconds, if not under 1. i dont have any problems with it slowing down the longer iv been on. im runnin wit 512mb of RAM and a AMD 64 FX 3000+, and as i said, only have problems rite when i boot up my pc and/or GW

Too long

Actually, I have no idea, reasonably fast. However, if I'm not the first or second person of the team to have loaded, it's too long as I'm very impatient when it comes to things like that.
