Your post triggered me... so I just looked and I see that other versions of wow have had issues with some 5400 RPM hard drives.... this could be my issue. I have a nice laptop with a SSD bit it's only 128GB and I had Elysium client on my HD (not sure of the speed). The wiff and I are building new gaming desktops (today... once we get home today we are doing this! Woot!) I will have a bigger SSD and a 7200 RPM HD. I will put Elysium on SSD and see if the issue persists on the new computer. If it does then I'm pretty sure it's my satellite internet.

I have a similar issue, but probably only 80% of the time. Sometimes it runs smooth. I have satellite internet w/ a constant 600+ms ping, so I assumed it was because of that. If it's not due to my internet it would sure be nice to know a fix

Similar day as many. I finally got on maybe 15-20 min after launch. Made a few characters quick. Intended to log them all in then come back in a few weeks once everything has settled down (am i correct that you dont need to be at Inn or city to get rest xp, its just a lot slower?) After logging in to first character got DC. Unable to get back on til the server was back up (and rolled back). 10000 Q, got below 2000 and got DC. Re logged. 6000 Q. 6 hours after launch i was able to get on, make characters, log them all on and then dive out of the way to allow someone else to play.
