Potential Solution for lag

[Solmyr]

This is why kids need to spend less time playing WoW and more time studying in school.

Even Einstein knew that you can never play any game with less than 65ms from the other side of the world - that's assuming your internet connection travels at the speed of light, always takes the shortest route to its destination and is not hindered by any connection points along its path.

This is just the laws-of-physics-imposed ceiling, we're far from reaching it yet.

Im part of an US based guild and my guildies from the North American continent are having high ms ,yet im playing from Europe and never went over 50ms... except the occasional spikes...

What the fuck crawled up you guys asses. I said it's a POTENTIAL solution, and I recommended this service because on the old private server I was playing, we had a problem that made a majority of the players lag, and this helped me along with other players. I don't know if it will work here, and I don't waste my time thinking of the physics behind it, this is why I said POTENTIAL solution.... Maybe it works, maybe it won't. So shut the fuck up with your dumbass 4 paragraph networking lesson responses.

Haters hate to learn. Please. Keep the bar as low as possible. It ensures my 6 figure salary stays possible. Rofl.

Haha yeah brag about your alleged income on this topic... gtfo you fucking nerd. This service did work for me at one point so.. whatever you are trying to say is not completely true. As far as how this service works, I do not know, I have not looked into it. Go study that shit and come back, cause that's the type of shit you do with your life. You are just a utterly useless fuck boy who has nothing better to do with his time. Your petty ass can't outsmart me lol.

So you're claiming that something works, but you don't know how it works and then you tell others to go study it? Cognitive dissonance much?

Is anyone here stupid enough to actually think the location your IP originates makes a difference? The reason your ping in america is close to 100 is because you are halfway around the world. Think about it. Even if you vpn to have a France IP, all those packets still have to traverse the internet to your house. Your geographical location makes all the difference.

And as far as 7000 players making official servers laggy, 7000 concurrent players didnt even exist on retail servers.

If you pay for a VPN or this "reducethelag" service you are being had. The reason your ping will APPEAR better is because your SOURCE PING requests to the server will now originate from a euro IP, to the euro Server, however your actual connection as far as response for you will be no different, as you will still be traversing the internet to reach that VPN server, which is located, you guessed it, IN EUROPE..

Think of it like this. Say you are shipping a UPS package to Paris, France, from New York, USA. Just because you decided to ship it FROM a UPS store in FRANCE, which will make the UPS delivery time drastically shorter, you still have to get it to that UPS Store.

Paying for a VPN can have it's benefits, behind had here is a false statement in some cases. Connecting from the USA to a France VPN would be stupid, I agree, although, if you connect to a VPN close to you, instead of your ISP making hops to the Nostalrius server, your VPN connection would be making hops to the server and relaying it to you, which would give any ISP that has terrible routing to Nostalrius a much better path, significantly lowering ping in some cases. If your ISP has a good route to the server, this wouldn't be needed, but I can tell you for a fact that some connections have terrible routing and a VPN could be very beneficial.

I need not make any comment here. You said it better than I ever could.
Don't be mad because you were had.

There is a service called ReduceTheLag that someone made a topic about in another server I was playing on. You can get the 30 day free trial and it will connect you through a different IP, closer to the server host (or something like that). If do decide to give it a try, make sure you set location to France before using it. Hope this helps!

Here's the link: http://www.reducethelag.com/

Hi apollan. Thank for you sharing this. I signed up for the 30 day trial but the service doesn't appear to support Nostalrius or any private servers. All they give me is an option to select official WOW servers. Do you know how to set this up to work with Nostalrius?

Interesting thought.
