After a long wait and successful beta test phase Guild Wars 2 was released! As with any other MMORPG release, also by Guild Wars 2, some players will experience lag, high latency, login issues and even disconnects. Before you panic, take your time and read about the reasons of Guild War 2 lag. It isn't always the Guild Wars 2 servers or the game itself that causes lag!!! The first days of the new release are very heavy for the Guild Wars 2 servers, but this kind of lag is temporary!

If Guild Wars 2 lag is caused by your end, you will need to troubleshoot your system and internet connection, as Guild Wars 2 lag caused from your PC is mainly permanent!!!

Why does Guild Wars 2 lag for some of its players and how to fix it?

Guild Wars 2's engine programmers have made major client-side and back-end improvements, including several different kinds of optimizations that have led to performance gains.

Players who have suffered from poor performance in the Beta should see an improvement to their frame rate. But there are still discrepancies between individual systems. Optimizations will continue up to and beyond launch day, using the information that you provide.

Note that these improvements are mainly connected with your hardware (graphics card, processor, audio card, RAMâ€¦). If your operating system performance and/or your internet connection lags, Guild Wars 2 will lag as well

You should only worry if lag, stuttering, freezes and disconnections are not stopping for you! In this case you suffer from permanent lag, high ping or increased latency issues!

Some of them are viruses, spyware, Trojans and root-kits, manipulated registry and internet connection settings, suspicious or unnecessary system process, hard disk full with junk files and other reasons that will cause your PC and internet connection to perform slower.
