2nd event → 2 times I lagged out while in battle, the third time it worked. 3rd event I couldn’t even login to particpate. I don’t get it why Anet is doing so badly at server load managing. Always, when something new is coming, only lags. One-time events execerbate the situation due to heavy server load, because everyone wants to participate. Please learn from your mistakes and let those events (if very special) be character or at least account bound so that everyone can participate and get his part of the cake.
