» I closed my virus scanner before I started WoW (I wasn't surfing or downloading in that time)Īfter doing all this, I was hoping when the WoW screen was loading that all would be fine. » I uninstalled all apps and programs that weren't really necessary on my PC. » I uninstalled WoW and installed it again. » I searched the newest firmware for my router. » I did reset my router to factory defaults ( I did a backup of my settings before) (Later I found out that 80% of this I didn't have to do at all). I did the basics, in the hope of getting the problem solved. I decided to do something against the WoW lag: I could log in, but I did disconnected more often than I would need, to shoot my deadly arrows on Emalon the Storm Watcher to bring him down. I couldn't play WoW over a period of 14 days. Players are forced to leave their guild, groups getting disbanded, battlegrounds are lost and arena fights cause friends to quarrel! As posted in a previous thread, I encountered hard times with lag when WOTLK came out. Still, there was and always will be many people outside in the World of Warcraft who experience these strange energies that are letting them fail in hunting down monsters, defeating bosses in dungeons and fighting the Horde/Alliance in PVP. Times have changed, and most of the LAG (or high Latency) issues got solved by better game servers such as Blizzard, due to better coding of their developers and much more reliable ISPs. What i did to reduce high latency in WoW and fix lag! But, we managed to bring him down after many hours of trying! The reward was incredible, and we were the only guild on our server that succeeded! Litchking 25HC was beating us over and over because there were disconnections and LAG. I remember 40m raids that sometimes needed 3 hours to get started, simply waiting to get all people lag free. Of course, it was painful and of course, none liked it. Years back, during the early times of World of Warcraft, lag was a daily issue for all of us.
