VPN Connection to the Server Required Outside Europe

[Holystrike]

Currently players are still required to use a vpn since the problems which occured yesterday should they live outside of Europe... I fear this will hurt the server to an extreme extent if this is not fixed asap. The average player does not use or know how to use a VPN and they will eventually give up, I really hope this can be fixed soon and that it doesnt hurt the non-european community which is vast.

EDIT: Apparently some people arent required to use it anymore I encountered this issue however im not sure about other Australian players.

EDIT: VPN No longer required however large lag issues on oceanic connections

I'm from the U.S., and other than yesterday's peering issues I've had no trouble.

Holy strike, is a VPN like a lower ping program? I play from Aus too and if you could fill me in on this if it's good for lowering ping on the server. Thanks bud

[Holystrike]

nah bro it doesnt affect our connection at all really it just forwards your ip address to another ip so that it looks like you are playing from a different country, all aussies still have 350-500ms lag except at the moment the server is lagging like crazy for me e.g 1500 ms I am not having this problem with any other game/program.... its really killing wow for oceanics.


Edit sever and website still lagging to a ridiculous extent, but dont require a vpn anymore

Oh true, ah well thanks dude. Yeah I'm on about 350 ping at the moment, slowly getting used to it from the 15 ping on retail haha
