I live in the east coast of the US. I've never had a problem with the original nostalrius and I don't have any issues with any other game or private server. The game is usually playable for about 10 minutes and then I spike up to 1500 ms which I have experienced before on a private server which was a pain but it was still playable. It says 1500 but I feel like its much higher then that. The lag comes in huge spikes. I'll be fine for 30 seconds and then lag spike where for 2 mins nothing I do is registered and then everything changed all at once which has resulted in a crazy amount of deaths even for vanilla wow. The weirdest thing is during the lag I'm not able to do anything but move which isn't actually registered but I still see other people moving and talking as though there is no lag at all. On top of all this every 5-10 minutes i disconnect, but its not an instant disconnect. Its a disconnect when you lag out so I usually have a second wow open so I can log into that one while the other one lags out. A lot of people are saying its just lag so just deal with it but honestly the game is completely unplayable. I've played every day since the launch of the fresh private server despite the frustration and I only have a level 12 hunter to show for it. I have read about 10 different forums and a lot of people are having this same issue. Like you said it is going to be hard to pin point this problem but I'm pretty sure it's not location because I've read posts from people around the same region as me who have no issues at all.
