WOW is definitely playable at typical Streamyx speed of 500-700ms latency and still playable (i.e. solo farming) even at 1500 ms. Might not be great for hardcore raiding or PVPing but if you dont do either of those, you will be fine. I nhave to say WOW handles bad latency better than the other games I've tried. All the other US-based MMORPGS I have played (City of Heroes/Villians, Star Wars Galaxies, Vanguard, LOTRO) all suffer worse (some a lot worse) than WOW when it comes to lag.

Not saying that WOW is perfect, of course. It has its detractors like everything else. Hell, I'm sure even Jessica Alba has guys who say "I dont see what's the big deal" but whatever....

Like the other guys said, give it a trial and see how you like it.
