Connecting...... [MERGED]

Just FYI, the servers are not *down*. I still have firends playing right now.

They MAY have become overloaded.

Ditto

it appears no one can connect

... now imagine just buying the game and you can't even get to the hero creation screen -

waaah SAME here

Hope it goes up soon

well they knew how many people pre ordered the game, they bragged about it on the site all the time, so they should have been able to handle it, and they game updates while you are playing it, so its not deliberatly been shut down, it will probably be weeks before they fix it, guess i should have played one of the games with a monthly fee.....

Do you think it saved when we all got disconnected cuz if not im gonna be MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Definatly not my fault. My GF can still play fine. Grrr.

Suffering withdrawal symptoms.

LOL. I just purchased this game got it all up and running and then the servers go caput Me thinks, blizzard and arenanet must be using some cheap ass servers they had left over from diablo 2 So far I must say the controls feel a lil clunky and the main guildwars website doesn't really seem to communicate anything regarding the status of their server. Well I did manage to save 10 bucks by purchasing this at Fry's, but still I'd like to get my 40 dollars out of it .

dumb thing is im still logged in and its telling me horogan sivoris is still online, even though he closed the program 15 mins ago *rolls eyes* also people who ARE still online are complaining they cant travel anywhere

same problem for me too

I just got the game! And I was very excited to start playing it and all I get is "Connecting …" then I get an error. I'm glad it's not just me. I do have a goofy network setup.

Well, lets see how fast they can fix this. It will be a real test to the Devs and a test to see if playing a free online game is worth it.
I always wondered how they will fix issues like this with no monthly fee....

People working for Peanuts there? lol

View Who's Online
Most users ever online was 1726, Today at 03:32 PM...

ha ha ha.

I'm curious. On my side of the monitor, my name is listed first on the "who's on." Is this the same for everyone? ;D

'cause, out of that many users, I think that'd be pretty cool.

Yeah, they really do need some official support notification service.

That way there is a one stop location for people to check when things go wrong!

This is not the way to get people to buy the game and play....they need to be a bit more available than this...

It would appear form the pattern that is happening with disconections, their could be a cascade routhing problem. As got booted about 10 mins after a firend and we have the same provider in the same area.

this woudl also explain why the support page is off.

Anet is probably just fixing the server after yesterdays incredible lag. I just wish they would have told us they were kicking everyone.

edit: go to http://www.guildwars.com/ there is an anouchment that the servers will be up again at 2:00 PM PDT

Guild Wars Service Update 29 April 2005


e're experiencing a temporary technical issue. We will be back in service at approximately 2:00 PM PDT. Thank you for your patience as we resolve this situation.

NOOOOOOOOOoooooo! What shall we ever do! I wonder what caused the servers to go down? Maybe they were overloaded?

I'm yet another person that can't log on! Is there no place we can turn to get an update on the problem?! Lol Doesn't seem like they though that through much. I hope it'll be fixed SOON cuz I sure would hate to have to find something else to do on my (thank god) day off from work. O.o
