Technical Lag

[Bast]

Within the past week there has been countless lag spikes on Icecrown and Blackrock (the only realms I play), a steady and consistent high MS (300+), DC's and even a website/server crash the other day.

Am I really the first person after a week of this to post about it? Why has not one of the staff addressed it?

Same here, it happens on all realms. I am having ms problem in-game and it all started 7 days ago (Sunday 11 September), before I always had 30 ms and no lag spike.

The first day I had constant 270 ms, I swtiched from GoogleDNS to OpenDNS and it went down to 180ms.
On the next days I got 50-80 ms regardless of which DNS and random lag spike which prevent me from doing Arena.
As you said 2 days ago (maybe yestarday?) I got disconnected like an usual "server crash" but once in-game I found out that only some players got discennected, not everyone.

By doing speed test I can see my connection is fine. By selecting France and German servers my ms is 30.
I have this issue only in-game and since I do not know the real IP of the server I can not do any ping test.
Other players from my country do NOT have this problem so it is not a general "country-issue".

Interesting. Would be nice if we got some info about it.

I did notice some others did not have lag spikes at the same time I did. I'm in US with spikes, my friend was in Serbia with No spikes. However he was having MS issues throughout the week as well just not at the exact same time I was. He too never had more than 30ms until this past week.

The server crash that I speak of most definitely kicked all off. The website was unaccessible for about 30 minutes at least. Perhaps there was another crash that I missed but yea... Its all been teetering on the edge of unplayable and incredibly frustrating for arena and all pvp. Hell, can't even quest with my alt on Icecrown.

At this moment, Mmorpgrussia and Hisue announce on Blackrock 40v40 BG.

Join the raid.

Half the raid DC due to lag, including.. Mmorpgrussia.

Many, many players raging in global about it.

WTF is going on here? Can some GM please say something? Its been 7 fkn days of this and not one fkn announcement is really absurd.
