Okay so a lot of people have been getting the 7:11:3:189:101 error.
This is an connection error due to either the ports 80, 443, 6112 and port 6600 being restricted and inaccessible, or a firewall blocking the connection.
Easy enough to test which one. Just disable any firewall/antivirus for 5 minutes while you try load first map after log in. If you still get the error – it’s your ports.
If you are at home and have a router – you can forward your ports easily.
If however you are on University (College) internet (most commonly an ethernet cable wall-jack to your computer) then well… You’re screwed. Like me.
Unless you are able to contact your residential IT team and ask them to forward said ports – which – most of the time, they will refuse to do for “security reasons”.
Bottom line, even though every other game in the world will work with College internet: Guild Wars 2 will not.
Spose’ I can play in 3 years when I move out of this apartment to another.
Would be nice for a work around for us lonesome students Arena Net.
I was so excited
Regards,
Max
