Hello Ligerzero
All the servers for the North American Release are located in The united States. This includes those listed for the Latin American and Oceanic regions. There are several data centers around the nation that house the realms.
We should consider tracing to your realm rather than the logon server for this issue using the netstat command.
- Start WOW login to the realm you normally play on.
- Press ALT-TAB to minimize WoW and return to the desktop.
Open a command (DOS) window
XP
1) Click Start and then Run
2) Type "command" and press Enter
Vista
1) Click Start and in the "Start Search" field type "command" or "cmd"
2) Right click on the CMD icon and select Run as - Administrator to start the Command window
Running Netstat
- In the DOS window type "netstat"
- Wait until the command prompt appears again, approx 1 minute
You will see an IP address connected on port 3724. It will look like xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3724 this is your connection to Blizzard (it should read ESTABLISHD at the end).
Creating the Traceroute
- Type "tracert xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx > "C:\trace.txt" in the DOS window (be sure to remove the :3724)
- Wait for the command prompt to appear again, about 1 minute.
Now the file called trace.txt should appear on your C drive. This should hold the trace route you took to the realm.
