Horrible lag lately, begging for an answer

Nevalistis I love you. Thank you for the information about the BG's, thank you for sharing it, thank you for pursuing it, thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. You are freaking awesome.

That being said, we have a 48 page post on the Technical Support forum about crazy latency since patch day that has gone without any Blizzard responses that I'm aware of. Do you have ANY information at all about this even if it is that Blizzard has no clue what is going on with the latency??? I'm dying for an answer here and I would be more than happy to get down on my knees and beg you to ask someone about it...

The thread I mentioned is located here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=27187855680&sid=1

The only recommendations I can give are generic ones here, Kontric.

If you haven't totally reset your UI, I'd give that a try and test this before adding ANY addons back in. Old addons - or changes in the 3 folders that are involved in a reset UI could be impacting this greatly.

To do a full reset UI, you will want to save your addons in another spot if you wish to preserve them.

Then rename/delete or move your WTF, Cache and Interface folders while WoW is shutdown. Reboot your system.

Note, if you are running Vista make sure your permissions are set so it does not undo your changes.

More detailed instructions for different operating systems, including Macs are here.

Another possible issue is with drivers, but I'm afraid I'm not qualified to give much insight into that issue at all.
