wow really? <100ms thats like awesome man! does it also have at least 5k population on each faction to have a semblance of a decent wow economy? do u get hotfixes n updated patches whenever there's major bug in the game? do u meet with lots of ppl in diff areas, diff towns n zones n never feel bored, and also have enough ppl to keep the BGs and arenas up? cos <100 ms thats some awesome sh!t right there! where do i sign up?

you win at sarcasm. (if my sarcasm detector is working fine)

the way you talk is like you "deserve" to be given a fast server.

so careful. you really starting to talk like a noob.

post this on the WoW Technical Forums and they will tell you that any area outside of USA, 300 ms is normal for the region worldwide. Ha!

i like the way u use the word "blizzlike" and "real 'blizz'"

let me put it simple for you

"blizzlike" aka Private Server
1. low latency
2. no updates
3. no population
4. unstable economy
5. plenty of bots and spammers
6. no notified down time


"real 'blizz'" aka Blizzard
1. Acceptable latency (300 ~ 500 ms)
2. Weekly updates to know bugs and issues and time to time there are contents updates.
3. Over 8 MILLION players World Wide
4. Stable economy
5. Botters and spammers are being curb everyday.
6. Down time will be notified 12 hours before, and its always on Tuesdays

So clearly "real 'Blizz'" is the winner there are more pros than cons compared to the "blizzlike" version.

hi, i'm new to WOW, having some problem here.
how do i know my latency inside WOW?
any command to enable the latency meter?
any nice UI/Addons recommended?

ur default wow ui interface has a latency bar. on the left of ur bag slots, is ur keyring. on the left of it is ur latency bar.

oic.. thanks alot!!

bear in mind that the latency is dependant on a few things :

-the ISP you're on
-the IP you're on
-the time of day you're on as server population can increase latency
-the area u're in in WoW. SW can be nasty
-overall server population. older servers will have a higher latency than lower population (newer) servers.

myremi is like our latency guru! she's even posted a thread for u to search for the ideal ip within your area. check it out! http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/411268

you do realise that most of the time you guys are debunking any myths that i spew out? LOL! it's not exactly safe to take my word for it, you know.

tee hee...

No mah, that thread u posted is a compendium of good and serviceable IPs that newbies should refer to first before starting a new thread everytime someone encounters latency issues. That's why i'm linking it here lo.

Here, I'll link it again;
