Well i tried this on ubuntu, do note mine was Fiesty Fawn, not the latest version of ubuntu. Socat was not installed by default, you will have to download it. As for iptables, i am not sure.

For those whom can login into to WoW after setting up the VM linux fix, but stuck in character screen. Please check that you specify the correct IP of the server you are playing. Often times, it is due to, your iptables and socat IP specify is wrong.

I was having the same problem until i found out that WoW has changed the IP of the server i am playing on. It used to be xxx.xxx.xxx.27, but suddenly it did not work, and after some poking around i found out it was changed to xxx.xxx.xxx.2. My socat was redirecting to 27, which resulted me stuck in retrieving character screen.

Mine dropped from 900 to about 300-400. Used to be lower, but it got higher lately for some reason. Probably suckmyx again.
Anyway, with 218.xxx.xxx.xxx i can get sub 280ms, but now i can't anymore.
