I bought WoW and played it for an hour... a few lag spikes, nothing horrible. Second hour... cant even move. Every fking second there is a lag spike its just horrible and unplayable. I turn it off, and restart computer. Put it back on... its the same way.

update: its 2 hours later. i turned it on... it worked good for 10 minutes w/ a few lag spikes and now its back to the unstoppable lag i cant even play.

also im a gnome if that matters

This is so frustrating because my friend has THE SAME COMPUTER AS ME and his never lags. What the hell!! Why do the good games always need to lag and ruin everything?

Is it my computers fault or the server? Also I play on Turalyon.

whats your internet connection?

Optimum online.... I have Diablo II, Halo, and Starcraft on my computer and get 0 lag.

Greatest World of Warcraft Video ever and i don't have the game,watch all of the video

It could be the server you're using. Depending on its location compared to your location, it'll have more/less lag.

Are you sure that it's a connection lag? Try defragmenting you're computer and removing anything that will slow it down.

Also, before you play the game, press Ctrl+alt+del, go to the Processes tab and End any processes that you don't need.
