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 =/

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
