Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

All of my friends and I are waiting for Blizzcon to see what is revealed. I'm a NA player so my ping is a little bit annoying to play with on Kronos 2 so that's basically my option. I'm sure everyone else is waiting as well.

You can try Pingapper, Smoothping or something like that to reduce your ping if it's so bad. They can reduce your latency by 100ms or more, depending on where you are in relation to the server and where the service's server is. YMMV

... and waiting for Crestfall

I was always under the impression that these softwares/ping-helper-thingies were not legitimate at all

Your ISP already optimizes the path for your data traffic. The silly fairy dust programs have little to no effect. In fact they could make things worse for you. It's like a guy saying, "Feeling sick? Take this cure all pill." Science does not work this way.

they aren't legit, but it's a easy way to make money by making software that does nothing.

If your ping is around 60-150 you are pretty much at the limit of technology regardless of tunneling. I had a ping of 123 from California to Nos servers. Not much can be done except moving closer to the server.

Agreed, if you're under 150 it's not to bad on nost i was around 60-185ish, depending on the day and time. Which was great compared to a few servers (I'm from New Jersey)

They will work, but how much depends on each individual situation. The only way to find out is to install and try for yourself, and see if it's something worth paying for after the free trial ends. They work best over long distances/remote places, such as traversal overseas or across satellite links where the packet optimization is likely to improve ping times.
