Issue might be datacentre, although I am no expert on the issue.



NF is Boston datacentre. I noticed, actually, a big improvement for my latency vs Cyclone which is LA datacentre and I live east coast. I cant remember what emberstorm is, but it is not on the same DC as Cyclone or NF. That might be the cause of your lag.

so does that mean ill lag in Nf since im playing near LA?

 

[Pers]

I live in SF. I ping average about 160-ish to NF. I ping 30-40 to Cyclone. Eh, good enough, its not like I'm playing a FPS

I am pretty sure plenty of people live west coast and play NF without serious issues, as Pers said.



His example is similar to mine, just opposite where NF is less than 100 and Cyclone has always been close to 200-300.

 

[Powerglove]

im not spending $25 to xfer a character so i can play at 200-300 ms =p

 

[PHILtheTANK]

my ms is like 200 no matter where i play... but i guess i just fail

 

[Dorigon]

Lower your World of Warcraft Ping with SmoothPING



I use this and it lowers my Cyclone ping from about 200 to 60. Doesn't help so much on other battlegroups, but still gets them to 100 or so.

 

[Unobscured]

100-125ms is very possible in the west on nightfall.

Emberstorm = Seattle

Emberstorm = Seattle

No wonder Pers is the only person who plays there.

 

[LULIMALION]

I'll be staying in cyclone, but either transferring to FM or becoming a human.. or both!

 

[Pers]

No wonder Pers is the only person who plays there.

How dare you, sir. You are disgusting

 

[Confessin]

How dare you, sir. You are disgusting

Shhh. Remember, Emberstorm's activity is supposed to be a secret!

If you are seeing lag problems to NF i would suggest trying out the wowtunnels.com tunnel service. They have a server located very close to the boston datacenter where all the nightfall realms are hosted. I use the east1.wowtunnels.com server and it dropped my ping from tucson, az to boston from 380's to 120's. Results may vary with different ISP's but with Cox HSI I saw major improvements.

I noticed a slight increase in latency when I xfered to NF, but tbh the change was not a big enough deal to not go. Maybe I am just used to semi bad latency.

Scoping out the servers myself. I actually see a decrease in Latency on Uldaman, have not tried Gnomer, but i guarantee it will be about the same due to my location.
