What your average MS response time in WoW?

I'm averaging about 250-300 but I'm curious what everyone else gets just to see about what the average is for WoW.

~200.

I'm east coast, on a west coast server, using FIOS. I have no idea what it would be on an east coast server.

I don't really notice lag though.

I'm on a 20mb cable modem myself. A friend is trying to tell me 200+ ms is high latency for WoW. I've been laughing all morning thinking about that.

Question for you guys:

If you have say 200ms and you do something that procs something else. By the time you see the proc is 200ms all ready ticked off the proc? Say it's a 2 second proc when you see the proc icon does it have 1.8 seconds left becuase of the 200ms lag?

Guess I should ask people to say server location and your location as well. Naturally someone playing EST on an EST server will be better then EST playing on a PST server. I'm on CST server playing from EST.

Mine is usually between 150-250. Sometimes will be under 100 but that is usually only on off peak times.

60-80ms of course it helps that the server is probably within 10 miles of my house.

70-350ms ... Usually around 160-200ish.

AT&T DSL Direct Xtreme 6.0

Arygos-US -- Located in Boston Datacenter
My Computer -- Located in Starkville, Mississippi

I think I might have a slight advantage since Blizzard uses AT&T's backbone or whatever you call it to provide access.

Discovered why my ping sucks so bad.. Im in EST, but in all reality, I should be CST, and my server is in LA.

I average around 170-200ms, though Tuesday right after the restart, I was sitting around 70ms until the server got busy again.

Playing on an Oceanic server and currently located in the middle east :P

There are very few times the latency really feels that high though...

Are you using Vista? I could not find an equivelant instruction for XP and the comments on the video had people all saying that this one won't work for XP.

»www.householdhacker.com should have a xp version for this. I have done this on Win 7 and Vista and it has worked great. Only OS I've seen this not work for is XP Home.

I usually average around 200-240ms, unless the wife is downstairs uploading baby picutres on the laptop. Then my lag spikes up to a juicy red 800-1200.
