2 edits | Its not just WOW I get horrible lag on Halo 2 and Halo 3 where my connection goes red bar and when I get host everyone gets red bar connections and the game goes to the reconnecting screen. 2 of my friends with OOL in Suffolk county and the Bronx get this same issue so I wonder WTF they are doing. |

I haven't noticed any particular lag today, those thousand ping traceroutes look pretty horrible though :-O I hope mine doesn't come back  |

You must have just gotten lucky. How long did you play for and at what time? The problem is still pretty bad for me, every few minutes there is a huge lag spike. I'm not the only one-- this thread on the WoW tech support forum, the majority of replies from cablevision customers, is almost 50 pages long now: »forums.worldofwarcraft.com/threa···pageNo=1 |

Fairfield, CT | I played all afternoon on one char, then I played for a few hours in the evening on a different char. No d/cs, and I didn't notice spikes either. My ping on one server has always been higher then the other but both were green pings all day. |

i think it's them, if you are hosting you get a bunch of requests and they must have something in place to stop the p2p. |

More of the same tonight. Consistent 550ms latency, which spikes to up to 1600ms and can boot me. |

| If you have lag in the game (and there was quite a bit last night 10:30pm-2am), please:
a.) call OOL tech support, as called-in identical issues will increase visibility of the scope of the problem for OOL and/or
b.) post to the OOLDirect forum (»/forum/ooldirect)
There seem to be WAY too few posts matching that Subject in the OOLDirect forum (I count about 20 posts since May 25th), vastly lower than the number of posts in THIS thread.
What you will be asked for is essentially the same what Blizzard asked for on the relevant forum thread:
- exact start/end time of the lag/disconnects
- if available: your in-game displayed latency (which is WAY off, and has been observed to be minutes behind the actual lagtime 
- provide OOL IP (go to »whatsmyip.org/) and WoW game server IP
- provide traceroute data at the time of the lag, and if you happen to be the attentive kind that is constantly tracerouting around: a traceroute before and after the lag occurred might be useful.
To find the game server IP:
Start->Run->cmd.exe
run `netstat -n`
Find the line where the "Foreign IP" is x.x.x.x:3724 (that's the WoW TCP game port).
run `tracert x.x.x.x` for that IP
Copy&paste (command shell pulldown menu: Edit->Copy) the result for posting/emailing to support - a tad easier than redirecting it to a file and then looking for it (the way Blizzard suggested to do it)
The standard Windows traceroutes will never complete, because Blizzard's game servers are not replying to tracert's packets - once you see more than 3 hops that show "* * *" (unreachable), you can hit CTRL-C to abort. You can't ping them with a standard Windows ping either - a 'security' choice on Blizzard's part.
You can safely ignore, and stop feeling paniccy about a few routers on OOL's network not responding during the traceroute at all. They are busy forwarding more important packets, and generally don't want to disclose certain interface IPs - move along, nothing to see here :
if interested, google for the traceroute(8) man page, editions 1996 or later, for an explanation that has been unchanged before the majority of today's WoW players were born. |

Hi All,
This issue is supposedly resolved. Please let us know how it goes this weekend. Thanks. |

New Milford, NJ | I had pretty insanely high ping this weekend. Don't know if it was attributable to bad weather or to the same issue. There haven't been many replies here nor @ the wow forums, I am wondering if the issue is resolved for others. |

This issue just recurred, disconnect from WOW and unable to get back. The trace shows we're now once again being routed through Cogentco in some crazy new trace that takes 30 hops to hit the destination. It was rock solid perfect until this.
EDIT: Route is back to the new route (Level 3 to AT&T). Any idea why the route would change suddenly like that, and then revert back? Is this going to be a common occurrence?
EDIT: And doing it again. It's some issue with their new route, it eventually reverts back but the route continually changes to some permutation of the old Cogent one. In the past 10 minutes the route has changed probably a dozen times. Ignore the top two hops, the meat is in the trace.
Correct trace:
Trace to: N/A 63.241.255.49
