Vancouver Island Canada using Shaw go-wifi with 180 ms, no lag spikes, smooth gameplay.

True enough. I'm not nearly fast enough to make it to the store in time. I do, however have enough time to make a coffee, check the weather forecast, complain about the rain, and get the days rolling done. Life in the fast lane.

Is this something implemented in the last day or so? I had to queue to get back in but I might have been longer than 3 minutes trying to get reconnected. In any case I saw the announcement that the queue was to address the ddos attacks, and since they did so, things seem to be much much smoother; On my day off I played for something like 8 hours straight with one blip which is better performance than I get from retail.

I don't mind a 5 or 10 min queue when I'm logging in if it somehow promotes server stability, or if it somehow aids the team running the server for us. Unfortunately with the amount of disconnects I think most of us experience I can see it causing huge problems for anyone who want to run instances regularly or, heaven forbid, do a raid; as we will always have a percentage of the group waiting in queue to get back in.

I saw in another thread that the pools/schools were removed. I put my fishing up past 150 on 2 chars and have not seen a single Blackmouth in Westfall, Darkshore, or Wetlands. There might be higher level areas that have them but I haven't heard anyone having any luck finding any on Elysium. Annoying because I like having a stack of water breathing pots on my low levels. I suspect this is temporary and will get fixed in a patch or two.
