Hi Guys,
I usually have around 120 ms on the Easter Servers. I don’t really have a lot of lag, maybe I’m just used to it and don’t even notice the little bit of delay anymore. I wanted to roll on a Pacific Server for Classic which will bring my ms up to 200~ms. Is this still playable?
I would like to know this as well since I live on the East Coast but plan on playing on Grobb which is West Coast.
200 is playable but undesirable. I expect you’ll start to notice it.
i normally play at around 20 ms and cant pvp above that.
wouldn’t recommend it
Yeah I thought so 
I’m in Germany right now. So I guess I have to play on an Eastern Server.
I would say under 100 is playable. Under 50 is ideal. Less than 25 is the goal.
Well I’ll never get to those numbers. lol
I’m wondering which is the max ms before it gets laggy
1-25 is magical.
25-50 is crazy good.
50-75 is very good.
75-100 is good.
You will hardly notice any difference sub 100 ms. It is at 100 ms and above you will start to notice it.
100-150 is decent but definitely noticeable.
150-200 is bad and noticeable but still definitely playable.
200-300 is bad, playable but it will definitely ruin the experience slightly. Very noticeable.
300-600 = horrible experience.
600+ unplayable.
Magical 
Thank you for that 
Okay well I guess i’ll play on an Eastern Server then. I have like 0 patience and will flip out if I start lagging just one bit.
Once you start getting 100+ it starts to get delayed. 150 is noticeable. 200+ why bother? 
I can play within acceptable limits to EU servers from NA with close to 200 ms in PvE, dunno how that would affect PvP
I’ve played at 250 ms + in the past. Not great, but you can still play the game fine.
I have about 120ms all the time and I don’t even notice it anymore.
Over 9000.
I played on servers we do not mention…Most were EU based with 120+ ping and I felt fine, even in PVP.
I’m in Indiana and will be playing a west coast server as well. I doubt it will be very noticeable. Especially being Blizzard quality servers.
I played over satellite internet for a while.
Everything feels fast after that.
As long as you’re under like 150 it’s fine. I have mediocre internet and always at around 125ish. Never had any major issues even in high MMR 3s.
It wont be as big a deal as it would be in retail cause batching loops are a lot more forgiving on classic. Enjoy 
Not as bad as some people make it to be. Spell batching is a thing, so if you are within the batch even with moderate MS it’s not going to be the end of the world.
You can never have enough Mortal Strike!
