&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;[[Latency]], also known as '''lag''' , is the time and delay between client-server requests, usually measured in milliseconds. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Guild Wars]] has a [[performance monitor]] that uses a color code to display the quality of the user's Internet connection as reported by the &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;ping&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; times to the Guild Wars [[server]]: a {{textColor|green|green bubble}} means low latency, {{textColor|orange|amber}} is acceptable, and {{textColor|red|red}} means the player should expect various issues with delays between taking an action and seeing the result on the screen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Playing during high latency periods can be risky: you can accidentally aggro too many groups or rezone (if you are auto-walking) and players have been known to lose progress towards the [[Survivor]] title. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notes ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Players also refer to latency as '''ping''', after one of the tools used to measure latency, e.g. ''I have a bad ping'' is equivalent to saying, ''I'm suffering from high latency''. However, in-game, [[ping#compass ping|ping]] refers to a sound-effect and rippling image that appears on the [[compass]].&lt;br /&gt;
* According to [[NCsoft]], the performance monitor is not an accurate measurement of the latency of your connection.&lt;br /&gt;
