Problem persists after the weekly maintenance.

Tried tunneling via lowerping and wowtunnels.

Ping dropped from 3k to 250-280 using lowerping. With wowtunnels, 250-350.

I'll probably go with lowerping although it costs more ($Aus 8) vs wowtunnel's USD3.

The only hassle is WoW's new security feature that blocks the account and forces a password change whenever it detects an IP change from login (happens when you try different servers from the tunneling service).

If this happens often, the account is flagged and some players have reported of accounts being blocked from 3hrs to 3days.

Frankly speaking, this is too much hassle for a game and I wouldn't have gone thru all of this if I haven't pre-purchased Cata and 6months game time.

Ugh... was hoping theyd fix the connection issues during the weekly maintenance. I may be forced to use tunneling services. Thanks for the info.

Btw, which server are you on?

Hello,

Anybody have really bad latency recently (4.0.3 patch)? The game is unplayable for me

I am playing in Khazgoroth server using 3BB ISP.

When did you start playing WoW in Thailand?

Been playing since TBC and thru WotLK with 250-350 ping ingame and with Vent, no tunneling i.e. lowerping.

Stopped playing for a month, bought presale Cata digital download, logged-in, game patched to 4.0.3.

AT BEST, my toon starts at 500ping then spikes to 2-3k. Unplayable. I am on ToT ISP, Chonburi.

WoW forum board says other players experiencing the same thing and could be that the ISPs are throttling WoW data (interprets them as p2p packets).

Not sure. Would be good to know if other players, maybe Bangkok, are experiencing the same or is this just a (temporary) localized problem with the ISP (ToT).

hey thanks for the reply. good to know I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. I am just here in Bangkok for work and started playing WoW last month (before 4.0.3a). I also get 250-350ms latency without tunneling services. But now when i login i sometimes get up to the 20k+ ms which is really ridiculous. Hopefully today's maintenance fixes this as I don't want to buy Cata and not be able to play at all
