I think it's a new ping system by bliz..

when there's no one around u, ur ping will be lower like 200-300.. then if pvp more than 20ppl / inside city, ur ping will rise like to 800-1000 onwards..

it's like bliz make wow to load only the area around you, and only load nearby mobs / player moving in ur sight..

because hor, today i was grinding and there's a druids he stealth in catform hit me, while he is hitting me, his catform is totally like phantom in dota, CAN'T SEE HIS BODY AND NO, HIS STEALTH CANCELLED WHEN HE HIT ME.. when he is in druids form i can see his body (he was ready to change in travel form and run) and there he change, still i can't see his travel form, it's totally INVINSIBLE but still can see his shadow, i chase him 9 road also his travel form is INVINSIBLE with the shadow.. =.= is it druids new invinsible form talent ? xD

p.s : frankly i tot i was in dota that time LOL coz he really look like a phantom with shadow running =.=

i know, i cant see my druid either , only the shadow .. and im standing still!

Oh.. umm.. latest bug by bliz on druids? xD

yeah i have that lil latency thing too, i go as low as 200ms.

I can confirm TMNet is capping bandwidth if you are on outside Asia. Everytime I use BitTorrent while I play WoW, I get ridiculous lag or disconnects. Raid fights means more bandwidth needed and it causes disconnects or lag.

I think the only answer is from TMNet. They announced that bandwidth will be restored by 20th.

SERVICE INTERUPTION

TM Net Sdn Bhd (TM Net) would like to announce that its Internet services, which are experiencing some degradation in performance due to the international link outage caused by the earthquake off Taiwan on December 26th, 2006, will be fully restored by January 20th, 2006.

Restoration work is well mitigated with more than 50% of its services restored to-date. We are pleased to inform customers that TM Net is on track to recover approximately 80 per cent bandwidth capacity for Internet traffic to U.S. by January 12, 2007.

Restoration and / or rerouting of data services is being achieved either by purchasing additional bandwidth from international providers, or capacity swapping with other corresponding carriers.

We wish to assure you that TM Net is doing all that is possible to fully restore our services as soon as possible.

Customers can call our Customer Interaction Centre at 1-300-88-9515 (24 hours) or 1-300-88-1515 from 8.00 a.m. till midnight, or e-mail custcare@tm.net.my for further enquiries.


Question.. read somewhere on the net that it would take till end of January (fastest) for the connection in Taiwan to be fully restored.. fastest.. and yet TMNet claim the restoration is to be completed by Jan. 20th ??

I would not be surprised if nothing improves and this is the way it will be from now on. This bandwidth cap is something they have been thinking of doing and the earthquake provided a good time to get it done.

I have not been able to raid without disconnecting. Solo and 5-man party works ok, but when I get into raid latency goes to hell and disconnects begin. Note that NO other net usage going on I might add - everything including background downloader is inactive).

So I have prepared an obituary for WOW if things stay the same by the end of the month.
