erm there is 2 hacks and not 1 also I typed the wrong key number in by accident the 1st time, also make sure the IP adress is not 10.0.0.2 and it should work:>
Ok..i did the reg hack with the packet loss or something... Nothing to do with IP's Maybe i did it wrong or something... ill have a look around again tonight.
@werries2, yeah i once managed to "borrow" a mates unshaped account, and yeah i got it down to 400, which isnt bad..
Maybe i should invest in a uncapped solution.

If you follow the forums closely then you'll notice the trend that it is always a relatively new wow-addict ( 
) that posts the new latency question.
I did it about a month or so after starting Wow and i'm sure i saw a thread from HTC_Guy somewhere saying he had started playing recently.
Anyway, its all good - we all dig the game and are happy to help out a fellow wow-er. Needless to say i think that the connection states of the various means of internet connections that people utilize to play Wow in this country are always changing, so its good that we have more recent threads discussing the topic.
Vista SP1
Core 2 DUO 2.4
2 gigs RAM
ATI HD3650 512MB
4 mbit unshaped through Web Africa
Registry Fix
average latency: 250-350ms to EU
and yes, the registry fix works like a beaut on Vista if you are running SP1.

Yes Im a new addict...
Its quite crazy actually, real life is just getting in the way now...
I found a whole bunch of bits and pieces from other forums regarding tweaks, so I thought I'd share them with everyone. here they are...
**********************************************
Now,
Type "regedit" in windows "run.." dialog to bring up registry menu
Then find:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\
There will be multiple NIC interfaces listed in there, find the one you use to connect to the internet, there will be several interfaces listed (they have long names like {7DBA6DCA-FFE8-4002-A28F-4D2B57AE8383}. Click each one, the right one will have lots of settings in it and you will see your machines IP address listed there somewhere. Right-click in the right hand pane and add a new DWORD value, name it TcpAckFrequency, then right click the entry and click Modify and assign a value of 1.
you can change it back to 2 (default) at a later stage if it affects your other TCP application performance. it tells windows how many TCP packets to wait before sending ACK. if the value is 1, windows will send ACK every time it receives a TCP package.
2 - TCPNoDelay
This one is usually pretty simple (see note)
Details: http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserve...3.mspx?mfr=true
You should install the Microsoft Message Queuing Service. To do this go:
START > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL
Open up ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS
click ADD/REMOVE WINDOWS COMPONENTS
Scroll down the list that appears, and TICK the entry MESSAGE QUEUING and click NEXT. Message Queuing will now be installed. Once done its probably a good idea to restart. Once thats done then add the registry entry below
Type "regedit" in windows "run.." dialog to bring up registry menu
Then find:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameters
Right-click in the right hand pane and add a new DWORD value, name it TCPNoDelay, then right click the entry and click Modify and assign a value of 1.
Click Ok and close the registry editor, then reboot your PC.
**********************************************
Im sure that this will help any other noobs out there...
