Hello,
I have huge world ping issues today. Both in classic and in retail.
Currently playing in EU on the Eredar server. I am located in Austria and never had issues like that before.
The latency ingame shows a constant 32ms for my location and a big variety in the world ping, sometimes between 900ms up to around 22.000.
No issues with other online services i am currently using, including other online games. After a full PC restart I had like 10 minutes of peace before the same thing started again.
There is no anti-cheat or extra anti-virus software which could interfere. Non stop pings to 8.8.8.8 also show a consistently normal/low ping of 18ms to 19ms.
I use a cable internet, not anything mobile. My router also shows no issues and I also tried to restart it just to be sure.
All addons have been deactivated. Cache was deleted.
Anyone else having the same experience? Is there anything I can do or is that an issue I have no influence on?
Maybe it’s just concidence, but after restarting my whole PC, it was fine while i was doing things alone in the open world. As soon as i stepped into a city or dungeon with players, it got way worse and stayed like that. After it gets worse, it does not get better if I run out into the open world.
Thanks!

Same. Blackmoore & Blackrock EU. Having up to 15k ms world latency and getting dc’d after a few minutes. That is if I can get past the character selection screen. Unplayable since today.
However I asked people in /2 if they’re having latency issues and the answer was “no it’s just you”…
I already reset my router but the connection issues persist.

How are so many people sitting with the same problem and there hasn’t been a single post from Blizzard?

Same here, started today for some inexplicable reason. I cannot log to char selection screen, after I finally log and get into world, world ms is 9k. I get booted out of the game, reconnect gets me stuck on a loading screen etc etc.

Like someone suggested before, i just tried connecting to WoW via VPN and its working. I used free trial of i believe non top 5 brand VPN and i got stable 50ms. Its little bit higher then usual (32ms) but its stable. Probably with some top, paid, VPN i would get even better results. I know this is not the final/definitive solution, but until Blizzard fixes it, you can try with it.
Edit: Used UK server.
