I think the topic says it all.. are there any of you out there?

I just got back to Malaysia after living in the UK for the past 10 years. I think like the rest of the addicts here I can't bring myself to quit playing wow which has taken up way too much of my time in the last 2 years.

What I would like to know is that if there are any retailers in the Klang Valley who will be bringing the EU version of the game so that I don't have to rely on friends overseas to DHL TBC over when it comes out in 2006.

Also-anyone experiencing high latency since Saturday or is it just me as I'm trying to connect to the EU? Ran a traceroute and i seem to be getting a lot of dropped packets when jumping to tmnet routers with IPs beginning with 219.94.9.*

Any further info on the above would be appreciated.

i'm not sure about the best IP for WOW EU.
For US version, we need to get certain IP in order to get a nice ping.

streamyx is always crappy and will never improved. Currently in aus study, way much better in terms of connection compared to streamyx. but, if you can get 218.*.*.* its better. but that was last year when i was still in m'sia. Right now, dont really know until i find out end of this month (going back for holiday)

I play on eu server as well, on draenor. Connection has been generally bad, tried some of the vpn services offered by hostck, xlcore, and secureix, doesn't really help much =(

from what i can tell, pings can be anywhere from ~300ms to ~600ms to 80.91.250.234 which is the nearest ping-able hop to the server. But due to packet loss and server lag, in-game latency is usually 600ms to 1200ms.

I tried to compile a list of times/IP's where it is possible to play but I gave up since it varies too damn much even for the same IP range. So I'm stuck wondering whether to give up my epix-clad toon for a new one on a US server =/

Added on February 20, 2007, 6:37 amThought I'd post an example, it's 6:39am now, tracert(using tcptrace) to my server is as follows, using 219.95.35.*



Guess what the in-game latency is... ~1200ms not including lag spikes =( just had a spike to ~2000ms. Anyway, any advice on improving latency is greatly appreciated. Any suggestion on cybercafes that can play eu wow would be nice as well. Thanks

Well if your epics are lvl60 stuff then there's no point in hanging on to them now that TBC is out.

Come join us on Thaurissian

US PVP Stormscale, do et

you guys offering to powerlvl me to 70 ? xD

you do realized that if we did that, we would give you back your char without gold or gear.

just kidding. i wouldn't power level you. how else are you going to play well if not going through the pain of it all.

I don't mind the gold and gear bit, just don't want to go through the pain... again =(

anyway... nobody plays wow eu in CC's ?

LOL major bumpage on this thread. Thought i was the only one for ages.

Don't give up.. Currently I'm getting between 350-650 ms on Darksorrow EU. Which means i can still do a pretty good job tanking etc.

There was a time even before the Taiwan earthquake where i was losing a lot of packets between M'sia and Europe. After hassling TMnet (even had their number on speed dial) on a daily basis with tracerts they eventually fixed it.

Looking at your tracert, it looks like your data is being routed very inefficiently. Call tmnet, give them a tracert, complain about packet loss, bad routing and high ping.. tell them you expect <300ms on your connection.

Basically, before logging on to my WoW client, I'll look at the ip address, and ping my vent server to test the connection for latency and/or dropped packets. A good ping to my vent server usually means a good connection to my wow server.

Funnily enough i can get a 202ms ping (After the quake) to my vent server which is in the UK on 60.48.xx.xx before 0000 hrs but after that the ping just goes crazy. Then it's switching IP addresses till i can find a stable and fast connection again.

And one more thing, EU>US!!111

shit man, that's really nice, I could probably start pvp-ing again with that kinda ping

Mind listing which IP's are better ?

The connection has been rubbish in the last week after midnight -.-

Funnily enough I get the best ping when I'm at the office, about 450ms in the day, when no one in EU is awake and when I'm too busy to do any instancing.

Anyway give me a shout on Darksorrow, I'm usually on my warrior after midnight - Jojoba (alliance) and we can compare notes about latency.

sweet, sweet joy.
