Increase of lagg since last week

Since last week at around 1am CET / 7pm NY time, GW starts to lagg. I asked guildies and friends and they've encountered the same problem. It's really annoying (especially when playing infuser ). Sometimes the screen freezes for like 5 seconds and i find myself at the other end of the map.

Hopefully something can be done about this.

i experienced it too. Even worse i usually got kicked out after the 3rd lag. Since then i've switched to another game.

I'm getting it a lot too, but really weird "lag". I click on the skills but they don't activate, instead they keep flashing, waiting for a response from the server i expect. The strange thing is that I can still move around and see everyone else fighting and moving.

Its like my character is in some sort of half limbo able to do some things but not others while everyone else is playing normally.

Same problem here. I play earlier in the day not much lag to talk about. Around 6-7pm CST (Louisiana) every 10 secs or so my transfer rate drops to 0 for several seconds. Problem started around 25 May. Sorry others are having to experience this problem. Extremely frustriating.

I've noticed the lag too. Most of it is during peak playing hours. It's been occuring while in zones just running, not even fighting. Of course, towns are laggy also.

I have had more lag and err 7 boots in the past week than I have had in the total year before Factions came out. I guess with Factions added the servers are droppping more balls its supposed to be juggling.

Anyone reading this play Warcraft much? Does paying a fee ensure the company can get the equipment to eliminate lag and stuff like this? (Hmmmm, I doubt it.)

My skills have a 1-4 second delay when I use them and during big battles, I glitch around a lot.

This is really annoying when you're playing an interrupter.

I played GW lag-free and disconnect-free for four months. Then the Factions preview event happened and it's never been the same since then--lagging and disconnects are the norm. I know people have pointed the finger at other companies or at specific internet providers, but I'm not sure I buy it...

Warcraft is not really as bad for me (lvl 20 atm) . but i heard in the higher lvls its just as bad.

I have the same problem. PLEASE FIX THIS ANET !

Last night two of our guildies err 7'd right in the middle of an HA match we were winning. It had already happened about 4 times to the same two before that. People have been complaining of err 7 all week in our guild. I haven't gotten it yet, but I've been getting huge lag right when battles start, whether PvP or PvE, right after I leave a town. By the time it fixes, I'm usually dead or the rest of the party is (I'm the monk).

I started getting the same thing with my character and happened at peak server playtime and also when my network I run with (ISP) is at peak. I since dropped my IE6 for firefox
thinking maybe my internet activities were contributing , but i still lag alot mostly noticed when running, feels like I'm pulling a cart .

I did keep a vigilant system of using my spyware remover but unfortunatly it seems to be server /isp network related.

I think the Network maintanance is affecting me , I must be one of the "small percentage", maybe it's not such a small percantage, hope it's done soon

getting the same problems, err 7's out of the anus and tons of skill delays and lag everywhere, drop everything and do this because I can't even play!
