This is happening to me this afternoon. It has been real hard to even post this little note. (This is my third time trying)

Same as Dood. Happened alot today. Could it be a DOS attack, I have heard alot of people talking about that.

the "database error" are driving me insane.

Inde · Mar 14, 2006, 04:00 AM // 04:00

No, it's because the GW Servers were down. All the fansites were having problems, including the official site. It was just the mass amount of users.

veryl mikagoh · Mar 14, 2006, 09:10 PM // 21:10

yeah just wanna say that, the site loads verry long when you press 'home' again.

realy enoying because everything slows down big time :/
maybe i have to do a new xp install, its been a while ^^

Inde · Mar 14, 2006, 09:40 PM // 21:40

Hmmm, I'm not experiencing this problem. Is anyone else?

Also, let me know what browser you are using veryl.

zaza · Mar 14, 2006, 11:30 PM // 23:30

bumpage

Inde · Mar 15, 2006, 12:27 AM // 00:27

This was because the Guild Wars servers went down yesterday. The users flooded all the Guild Wars fansites and they all were having problems. This includes the official site.

Xenrath · Mar 19, 2006, 12:19 PM // 12:19

Are the server attacks still continuing? I've noticed every now and then I still get the standard IE error page to do with DNS/page not found. Sometimes it comes up with microsoft's MSN search page We can't find "www.guildwarsguru.com". I try a few times/force refresh and same problem.

This doesn't happen with other websites so it seems peculiar to gwg?

I'm using IE6 Service Pack 1 if that's any help.

Josh · Mar 19, 2006, 01:44 PM // 13:44

IE7 is out by the way.

Xenrath · Mar 19, 2006, 08:42 PM // 20:42

I don't think it's the browser version I'm using, besides which it's probably not a good idea to upgrade to IE7 for the same reason it wasn't (and in cases still isn't) a good idea to get XP Service Pack 2... not enough testing/bug removal done on it, and probably too much bespoke stuff in it.

thelessa · Mar 20, 2006, 12:58 AM // 00:58

I don't use IE unless I HAVE to. I use FireFox, Opera or Netscape

kzap · Mar 20, 2006, 07:41 AM // 07:41

Hi Xenrath, what times does this happen? the server was going down at a certain time every day due to a log rotation script but that should be fixed now. In windows, Run: command.com then at the prompt type tracert www.guildwarsguru.com and see where it stops

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I can't remember when this happened now - my connection at home has been dead since last Thursday so I can't check... if I recally it was before 5pm GMT sometime; if it happens again I'll do a traceroute and post here. Hopefully my home connection will be working again soon.

Old Dood · Mar 28, 2006, 12:09 PM // 12:09

I haven't seen that happen in over a week. I was not letting me in around 6am EST for about a week....then it went away.

Vahn Roi · Apr 23, 2006, 10:23 PM // 22:23

The forums are nice and quick for me, but the auctions area is runs at the break-neck speed of a dead turtle. Along with long load times, I get a lot of "white pages." This is especially frustrating when bidding/buying items.

Inde · Apr 24, 2006, 01:22 AM // 01:22

Interesting... haven't heard of problems like this recently besides throwing some errors. Thanks for the heads up. There's a new update coming soon to the auctions so I'll be sure to add this to the list.
