Hi there,

I am now on Balnazzar PvP EU and in the meantime things look much better here but thx for the advice.

I got myself 8Mbit down/1mbit upload(3bb) and also am using the latrix latency fix(didn't do much I think but still good I'm sure) and, here it comes, reducethelag.exe from reducethelag.com and that brought me down to 280ms lag, at any time, constantly. They currently only have an experimental EU server and told me they are working on a better one which might speed things up a bit more eventually but like I said, 280ms constant is pretty darn good I'd say.

Quite impressed with it especially because it also killed my other main problem: Logging in taking waaaay too many attempts, before, up to 10 mins., now always first try

What also helped was getting rid of 3bb's crappy free billion router and getting a Dlink. Another world.

As for setup, I have an i7 3.x Ghz with 6GB DDR3 Ram and GTX 460 1 GB , both slightly oc'ed.

Cheers,

Basch.

Yea glad to see you're able to play just like me. Things happened to me years ago since i was back graduating from UK, and cannot bare to play WoW EU at all in Bangkok now it's all good.

I heard True connection to internet is better than 3BB. But if u constantly getting 280ms then may be 3BB is better (I get fluctuate 250-400) or may be because reducethelag is better but i doubt. (May be it's because True, as we all know it's shared internet and 3BB still get less customer than True) 1mb upload is the key really, if you still use 512k then it wont be that nice to play. Latrix latency help a lot actually if u're using WindowXP, but i barely see marginal difference using Window7 but surely it helped.

I havent get problem to signup using wtfast or smoothping. They have mutilpule EU servers, WTfast get 5. Smoothping get 2.

Yah crappy router need to be change. I cant live with what they been giving to me as well. Dlink is another world seriously!

PC is also important as now it's mainly affect your latency and if u dont have good com u prolly cant raid. I have i5 2.X something with 8GB DDR3 Ram and GTX470, waiting to upgrade new chip this year as the new model going to be in XD.

Does anyone here know how the lag is when playing on European realms?

Everyone I know who plays this lives in Europe and I'd like to play with some friends.

I have installed a 10-day trial but can only choose US or oceanic realms.

As far as I can see, to try playing with European realms I will need to install the European client. Any workaround I found is blocked by Blizzard at login saying I am in the wrong region.

Or is there any way to play on any realm you want?

If the lag makes it unplayable I'll stick with oceanic but I really wanna try it.

I'm on 6mbit 3BB.

Cheers,

Mate, i'm playing on EU server atm with the promising latency of 250-400ms i will tell you the trick:

1) Use the internet with at least 1mb uploading. Downloading aint much a bottleneck but i would prefer download 6mb+

2) Use this script. Trust me it isnt a scam or you can try regedit your own tcpicpfrequency thing. (which i forgot the details) Goggle "latrix latency fix" and find it yourself.

3) Use tunnelling service like lowerping,etc. I used smoothping/WTfast myself, think WTfast is good one. Not sure about lowerping.

4) Use better PC, i mean now i would recommend GT9600+ and at least quad core processor and 4mb ram

I'm on Darkmoon Faire EU. I do think my method also work fine with US server.
