Has anyone else been getting real bad lag lately?

Granted, I'm on sat. but the last three weeks have been horrible.

Like 4-10 second lag spikes. All blizzard tells me is sat bad, read the faq, etc. etc.

Pingplotter shows lost packets on blizz's end.

I played around with spamanalyzer, and discovered, a lot of it is from gearscore spam. (note I do like gear score).

It just seems really bad the last few weeks. My own ISP shows everything is fine on there end, But I can't get Blizz to talk to me outside of there Canned response.

Shoot, every other game I have is ok, Age of conan, StarTrek, Everquest 2, FFXI

When you say gearscore spam do you mean an addon like Gearscore lite?

My lag comes and goes. It really is on Blizzard's end from what I can tell as my lag increases substantially during peak hours. But I'm still able to play during peak hours it isn't unplayable by any means.

When I play early morning non peak hours etc... I have 0 lag my slaves follow right on top of each other like they're suppose too etc etc... During peak hours my slaves stagger and I have to spam /follow often.

Their servers are old and I know the server I play on Shadowsong hasn't had a hardware upgrade in over 3 years.

Ensidia recently moved to the same server as Paragon due to lag issues and being "late" on world firsts due to server-side issues.

I think the problems are widespread. I personally have experience some lag but never found the game unplayable.

hi Jink, Yeah, I was using gearscore as an example. Basicly, it seems lately, that anyone with an addon, that reads info about my toons, or constantly spams there location ie. Carbonite, has been really killing me.

now I can block addon spam, but then I can't respond to the friends I have, as it blocks everything. I wish they just did an addon channel that could be turned on or off.

Gomotron, may I ask what server that is? I might try a move myself.

I've been having issues as well. On a crowded night I usually can get 30fps in Dala. Over the last 3 weeks, I've had nights where it drops to 3fps. Obviously, not playable at all. Even when I can get out of Dala, my fps is under 30 when I usually get 90+.

A solution i've found for a friends lag and fps - a keyclone user - was to start the main screen/client manual, start keyclone and load the 4 slaves on another screen from kc. His main has very decent graphic settings, his slaves are on minimum. He gets 60 fps everywhere now except for dala.

I've found patch or maintenance day to be pretty laggy, the last few weeks.
It's good 8-12 hours after the patch.
And its good until the next maintenance day.

Tue afternoon/evening, is almost pointless lately, as far as wow goes.

Ensidia moved to the same server as their main "competition" in achieving worldwide firsts not due to the lack of lag, but in order to level the playing field.

Same server = same lag for both guilds.

I might try that Zenga. Still, I'm having lag even when running just one account.
