World of Warcraft is the highest earning and most played MMORPG around. Gamer take the "world" very seriously. From running raid sized dungeons to player-versus-player competitions, high latency can significantly diminish the experience. WoW lag during an arena or PvP battle can mean the difference between digital life and death for ones' avatar. To reduce WoW lag, one must understand what causes it.
I have played WoW for years. It's a fantastic game and extremely fun. However, I recall times when high latency caused the death of my warrior to a weak rogue with inferior equipment. This should not happen. WoW lag was the culprit and can be very frustrating.
Unfortunately, the reason I was experiencing this high latency was because of a very common reason: an underperforming PC. This is the leading cause of why gamers experience WoW lag. Other reasons are game server and ISP problems. An ISP can sometimes throttle the port that WoW uses to connect through. A game server problem can usually be attributed to overcrowding or maintenance cycles. Fortunately, there are several ways to speed up Internet connections.
