It might be specific to your server. My server has been seeing some nasty lag spikes in the last few weeks.

It has been suggested that due to their on going subscriber losses they are experimenting with bandwidth cuts trying to find the minimal needed to still be playable in order to cut down on some of their overhead.

Nothing unusual here, same latency as always, but I play on EU servers though.

now that is some funny $hit..

not suggesting that it is not true, but for them to be even experimenting with bandwidth throttling internally etc is foolhardy on their part.

especially if it gets out that it is real.

Are you Canadian?

Roger's, a major ISP in Canada, has been throttling WoW and causing performance issues for their customers.

I think more then one major network had issues yesterday, I don't run traceroutes unless it's something thats gotta be resolved right now, but at least my CenturyLink DSL was having issues here in Florida when I got home yesterday. Meaning WoW was virtually unplayable at the time. Fortunately a one-two combo of real life intervening and DragonAge 2 working it's magic made me forget all about WoW.

It seemed tobe a server issue. I finally had ot alt tab delete and shut off hte game and was fine when I logged back in. A lot of peeps had to do the same thign though, half the guild and my whole friends list disappeared for about 10 mins doing the relog thing.
