Guild Wars 2

Hi! I’m currently experiencing issues with GW2 right now. (FYI— It’s 7:50pm North American Server Time) At this time, I’m not able to log back into the game.
I’m constantly being disconnected every few minutes on GW2. I was in the middle of RPing in the Grove. Before the disconnect, I experienced lag, and the rest of the group I was with experienced the same thing. I even saw my other online in-game friends & guildees connect and disconnect constantly.

I also experienced the same thing early this morning (midnight Server time) on the EB wvw map. I was zerging with the TC zerg when the same thing happened to the entire zerg. We even had a skill lag and a freeze before the entire group disconnected from the game. The zerg continued talking on mumble chat, so that’s how I know that everyone was experiencing the same thing.

I’ve seen this problem with another game I played a long time ago. That MMO was called Ragnarok Online, and the problem was related to hackers breaking in to the servers. The constant disconnect problem eventually caused alot of people to leave that Korean MMORPG. I suggest that Anet should have a security team check the Tarnished Coast server and the other servers who are experiencing the same problems. I’m concerned that people are trying to hack the game and disrupt stuff for lulz.

There’s a few other threads about this, and the general answer is “DDoS Attack”. It’s not something ANet can fix, as it’s not them. It’s not us. There’s only so much ANet can do.

Mind you, one of those things would be to make a good, front page announcement about it here on the forums…. Come on guys, this is the third day in a row. Speak!

This can tell you a bit about what’s going on:
