Cant log in now

I have a friend that lived in the UK. About 20 mins ago he lost con to the game and now all of a sudden can not log in. He gets this message:
guild wars was unable to connect to any login server. this is very likely caused by an internet routing issue
He can not log onto any GW related sites either.
He can log in to other games such as UO, its only GW
Anyone know what this might be.
Thanks

UK and I am getting getting error 005 constantly. Guildwars official site will not load for me either yet I am able to browse other websites just fine...

Well least it's not just me..


EDIT:Virgin Broadband here too..

Same here. Cant log in and the Guildwars.com site is down. Im in the UK also.

er.... Virgin Broadband here too...

He can do everything but log into GW or GW related sites. Everything else works fine. ICQ ect, UO; everything but GW , He is getting code 058. He uses Virgin 20mb con and is in Dorset.

Same goes for me! Im on 20Mb Virgin Broadband and i cant access Guildwars.com, the Official Guild Wiki (run by anet) or GW itself. Is it possible that they have taken things offline in preperation for the Bonus Mission Pack which is being released today?

Add me to the list .

Im in sweden and can log in. I think there must be something going on in the UK?

That seems likely. =/

Yeah I'm getting it too, I'm also on Virgin 20mb :/ I can do anything else but log into GW or GW website...

Kind of..ironic it says if issues go on further, visit the official support page...

Getting the same here, for about the last 20-30 mins I havn't been able to log on with the message in the OP.

Virgin 4mb...

same. virgin 4mb, uk

error code 058 cannot connect to login server, most likely an internet routing issue

How do you trace route GW?

Same here, my husband and I cannot log onto GW or any related sites but apart from that can access any other sites. Getting code 058 too. Thought perhaps it had something to do with the BMP but obviously not and has something to do with an incident in the UK

Rhia

2MB Virgin BB Dorset also

What I can't understand is if it was something to do with ISP how come it's only affecting GW??

Rhia

Incident?....just hope someone from anet is seeing this as its impossible to reach them on their official site.


EDIT: makes no sense to me either...and Im getting the shakes now!..and before you say, no I dont have a life

Has anyone contacted Virgin? And if so what was their response? I would but I hate them with a passion....

Well my friend says that they charge you 25C a min to call them? That really sux

£1 a min here.... i aint calling that :S easier to swap ISP!
