I just thought I would post this for anyone who is starting a new character in WoW, my brother and I spent the last 2 days testing every single EU server, we played on each one for about 20 minutes.

I wanted to know which would give the best latency to S.A
I was testing with a shaped and an unshaped account.

The server "Shattered Hand" won by a mile. With the unshaped account I got between 250 and 380 latency, with the occasional spike up to 450.

With the shaped account I got between 700 and 1100 but this was pretty good because on most of the other servers it was unplayable, I think shaped is messed up these days.

Unfortunately I have no idea what the people are like on Shattered Hand so if there is anyone playing on it some info would be nice.

I've been playing on KulTiras for awhile. My latency is anything from 250 - 500, and every now and then I can go up to 900. But for the most part I get pretty good gameplay.

I am using unshaped.

Kultiras was also tested, gave me latency of between 400 and 600 which isn't bad.
Sylvanus also gave me between 400 and 600.
But Shattered Hand was the best by far, what you should do is make a character on Shattered Hand and just play for about 10 minutes, the latency is so good that it feels like a different game.

I have started my alt on SH now.

ok Shaped ADSL seems to have sorted itself out on WoW and now on Shattered Hand my latency bar is always yellow on the shaped account.

I wonder why this server has such good latency to S.A, maybe its right at the bottom of Europe.

You should get similair latencies from groups of realms in WoW. Blizzard has various infrastructures geographically located, each infraastructure has many realms, 20-40 if I can remember. Don't think of a realm as a standalone server sitting a a shelf somewhere. Realms in your PVP battleground are generally in the same infrastructure as you. Also when you enter an instance, like Moltern Core you are running off a different shared instance server.
