While I'm on the topic, anyone know if theres a way to lower my latency when I play wow while I'm over there? Just wondering, idk much about computers lol.
your latency increases because the physical/topological distance between you and the server increases.
want lower latency times? redirect your Data/enUS/realmlist.wtf file to EU servers
I didn't think this would work without an EU account.
I would look into tunnelling services. Us Oceanics almost rely on those since they give a more direct connection to Blizzard servers than what we'd get normally.
I'm at 281 latency atm which is from NZ to BH (east coast right?). Without a tunnel i'd be at 4-500. I imagine that from England you'd be looking more at 200 or lower if tunnels exist in the same fashion since that's a lot closer.
I just question if the demand for it exists since most Euros would be playing in Euro servers, unlike Oceanics who have to play on Ameirkan servers.
As for Christmas, i find it really weird getting money now that i've been employed for some length of time up to Christmas. Almost every other Christmas i've been a lazy student or a bum, so getting money is AWESOME. This time i get money and it's like... oh, cool, more money!
