Weird Err=7 (could login)

I can login and choose my character; I can play fine two of my three character: one in Yak's Bend, one in pre-searing Ascalon; however, when I choose my third character at Destiny's Gorge, the game gives me the [err=7] message, and it still says "Connecting 0%".
Does anyone else have this problem?

Do you have any filtering software on your computer (like to block "bad" content)? Those sometimes prevent the downloading of maps.

Nope. I was playing fine until the I downloaded the patch. Hope it will go away soon.

Is the name of the character of a bad nature as in a bad word or something that could offend someone. They are cracking down on that now.

It was a brief bug when the update first came online today. was out for about 20mins.

I got hit with this error when the update first came out today, and then got it again just a second ago while in a mission. I don't know what this crap is. I have never ever experienced this error in all my hours of gameplay, and I have put in A LOT of hours.

The game simply doesn´t like me. Today I came across very good group in Tombs and guess what ? Err=7 when we were already inside
It was not internet connection problem because everything worked normally. It must have something to do with the patch as I haven´t got these errors earlier.

Im getting the same error. I got a super good team and what happens? I can't log back in without being given err=7 and disconnected. This has never happened in all the 197 hours I have put into Guild Wars.

After ~12 hours of waiting, the error is finally gone and I could play fine now.

What Firewalls do you guys all have? I have McAfee and I tried uninstalling and then running the game but I still get the error.

I am pretty sure that this is an error server-side.

i have been playing the game since release. occasionally my friends (one in particular) would keep getting this message, and for the 1st time ever i got it last night. in fact, i got it three 3 times while doing Ring of Fire. hopefully it will clear itself up. seems like this update did something.
