Guild Wars 2

This doesn’t make sense. People, don’t waste your time fighting with your ISP. They aren’t at fault. I am getting these errors now and again and I have ports properly forwarded and no other application is causing this kind of connectivity issue for me. This is clearly an ArenaNet issue as it currently only kicks me off when trying to load characters in specific regions of the game. Other regions will load. Looks to me like a server load issue, isolated to a specific cluster or whatever.

I am pretty sure ArenaNet are aware of it but can’t go around blurting all over the forums how some servers are overloaded. Make a new character outside the zone that won’t load for you right now. And if nothing will load for you right now, go read a book and try again later. It’ll get better. Guaranteed.

Update: It now has been several hours. I came back to the PC, started the game, tried to log onto my main and, voila, everything worked.

If this was really an ISP issue, a router issue or a software firewall issue, the problem would persist even now. But it doesn’t. Stop driving yourselves crazy over this. As the game ages it will improve.
