Guild Wars 2

I’ve currently been experiencing terrible lag within the past few days, myself.

Wednesday (the 12th) I was doing alright for an hour or so, then I experienced a tremendous amount of lag, causing me to log out. It took me a while just to reach the character select menu.

Thursday (the 13th) I logged in and took care of some inventory cleaning, and everything was fine for a bit, then I decided to look for a group to take on a dungeon, and that’s when the lag started once again; not only for me, but for everyone in my party, as well.

This being said, I certainly realize it’s not just me experiencing the lag. I’m not complaining, nor am I pointing the finger. As I understand it, there’s quite the DDoS attack underway, and I do hope the situation can be fixed soon.

I thought I would make this post, however, in the hopes that the following can be used to aid in the situation. This more than likely isn’t the case, but who knows?

I current reside in North Georgia (North America), and I play on Eredon Terrace (U.S.)

Before I submit this post, however, I would like to ask that my fellow community members remain patient throughout this time. If it is indeed a DDoS attack behind the server problems, and one that doesn’t specifically target ArenaNet’s servers, then all they can do is wait for a solution, or migrate their servers elsewhere, which isn’t a simple task, I can assure you. Thankfully, Guild Wars II requires no monthly fee, and though it is quite a burden for each of us (perhaps especially those who have purchased in-game items), it’s important to understand and consider the situation at hand.

Again, I cannot convey enough the importance of patience at this time. I’m sure ArenaNet is well aware of the problem, and trust they will take appropriate action where available to them. They put alot into this game, so I can assure you, they’re not just going to let it go to ruin during an event that many hosts have unfortunately experienced.

Thanks for your time, and again, I do hope this issue can be resolved soon.
