Guild wars trial loading really slow?

I recently downloaded Guild wars trial. Created a character, thought I was good to go, but I'm stuck at the loading screen. I can sort of understand if a game of this size needs to download updates or whatever, but seriously this is a ten hour trial and after half an hour it loaded about fifteen percent.



If it continues like this I suspect I won't be doing an awful lot of playing. Anyone knows how to speed up the process?Guild wars trial loading really slow?
Note that the Guild Wars trial version is not just a demo version of the game, it's complete access to the full game for a limited period. That said, a full installation of the game can take upto 4GB of harddisk space, and part of that is downloaded the first time you access an area, so yes, if you have a slow internet connection then the download can take a long time. But the good thing is, that upgrading from the trial to the full game should then only result in the download of (small) updates (or entirely new areas that you have not visited before).



As a sidenote, in some regions there are currently routing problems reaching the guild wars servers. I don't know if this is the case in your situation, but it might just be that the download process receives a lot of timeouts, and keeps retrying.



In either case, I'm afraid there isn't much you can do about it...Guild wars trial loading really slow?
It sounds like you may be dealing with a slower internet connection. If you need assistance diagnosing a technical or network issue, you can ask us a question here: https://help.ncsoft.com/app/ask or send an e-mail to support@ncsoft.com.



Aside from this, I would like to put your mind at ease about the amount of time available for playing the trial. It is a 14-day, 10-hour free trial. Therefore, you have 14 days from the moment you created the account or ten hours of gameplay time once you have logged into it to play and see if you like it.
