Introduction:
I originally compiled this guide in December of 2008. At the time, I was heavily playing World of Warcraft during a period when latency issues abounded due to Lake Wintergrasp. On top of this, a certain ISP *cough* Comcast *cough* was also causing a lot of issues based on their own internal designs. Yet, even though Comcast customers had it worst, they weren’t the only folks suffering from ping-stress. I, as a Roadrunner customer in Western New York, suffered to. Strangely, it was only in instances where my computer had to trace a different path to connect to the game.
As a mage, the high latency made playing effectively almost impossible. So, I searched and scoured and scrounged though the interwebs until I uncovered every tip and trick I could find. Wanting to avoid going through that hassle again, and hoping to help others steer clear of it too, I put this together in the hopes that MMORPG’ers everywhere might benefit.
I’ve left the guide in its original form. Somehow, I feel that it captures the mood in which it was written better than an introduction would be able
If you have a tip or trick that’s not included below, please email me at admin@gamebynight.com. Enjoy!
