As a south american player, I’m used to play the game with a 100-150 ms, that’s been the pattern in the past 16 years. However, after 10.0.5 my world ms is absurd, reaching 1000, 2000, 3000… At first, it was happening inside dungeons/raids, but now I log in and its already 700+.
I did all the blizzard suggestions to solve the issue, but as time passes by, ms is increasing instead of decreasing.
WTF is happening?
It’s not only you, many people have reported this issue (here and via ticket).
I’m from South America too, playing with 80-100 all my life, never lagging, nor delaying, but since 10.0.5 my world ms is reaching almost 500ms, peaking into 3k, the game is unplayable.
People from US also have this problem (at least i suppose since they’re from NA realms).
First it was only in dungeons/raids, now is everywhere.
Funny thing is, PTR and Classic servers are okay, no lag, no delay, same ping.
And another weird thing is: i’m farming champion’s seal for a tabard (that’s WOTLK zone) and i’m okay there, no lag, no delay. At least that small window that i’m there farming the seals (like 30min - 1 hour).
US player here… having the same issue. I’ve had one playable day since 10.0.5 release. The rest have been no-go. I’ve bypassed all of my home network gear, and plugged directly into my modem, and still no good.
I also notice the delay on Blizzard sites… this forum will briefly spin when loading new pages. When I went to the support page for downloading that winmtr or whatever, it reminded me of back in the day when on dialup… the page slow loaded down the screen. No other sites or services in my home are having issues. Just Blizzard stuff. Dungeons are impossible to run.
Hey there Onius,
Thank you for reporting this sudden increase to your World latency. ‘World’ latency is a reference to the connection to our servers that transmits large chunks of data… combat, data from the people around you (specs, gear, enchants, etc.), NPCs, mobs, casting, professions, etc. Going into a highly populated zone (like a capital city) will drastically increase the amount of data being sent over this connection and will raise the reported latency.
‘Home’ refers to your connection to your realm server. This connection sends chat data, auction house stuff, guild chat and info, some addon data, and various other data. It is a pretty slim connection in terms of bandwidth requirements.
When we find that World latency is spiking or steadily raised, it’s typically related to a broken data gathering addon, but it can also be caused by a legitimate connection issue. Try resetting your User Interface to default, and if that has no impact, let’s have you run a ‘WinMTR’ network test while a disconnect occurs in-game so that we can further investigate potential network-related issues between your computer and the game server. Here are the instructions:
WinMTR goes here
If you have issues pasting here, please use Pastebin and post the link (ex: Pastebin (dot) com/123456).
I just tested that area, and no real improvement for me there.
Try the PTR server or Classic then. I’m only in that zone like 6-7am, maybe too early and that’s why i have no lag/delay lol.
But then again, it all started since the 10.0.5 patch, first it was only in instances, later everywhere.
The support team is going to call me tomorrow, i’ll post the details if there’s a fix.

WinMTR v0.92 GPL V2 by Appnor MSP - Fully Managed Hosting & Cloud Provider~~~~I’ve also had mass lag spikes … returning after almost 2 years and often dying while levelling just to NPC’s because I’m spiking to almost 4k ms in world. Absolutely ridiculous. FYI, I’m in Australia (Oceanic servers) so think this is a global issue by the sound of things.
I’ve been getting large World MS lag spikes as well in TBC and Wrath Dungeons (Haven’t tried the others yet). World MS will start climbing at the beginning of the run and by the end, my world MS will be 200-250, then once I leave the dungeon, it slowly start falling back to MS I normally get. Its really frustrating 
This issue only happens for me from 7-11 pm central, and it started after patch 10.0.5
The lag spikes are massive during this time, and outside of this time frame the game operates normally and with no latency issues.

WinMTR v0.92 GPL V2 by Appnor MSP - Fully Managed Hosting & Cloud ProviderI’ve been having the same issue, normally when I play on a US server I go to about 150-250 World Latency but the last couple of weeks it just keeps scaling. If I’m on my server it ranges from 35-80 but then sky rockets when I phase over. I ran a WinMTR test during a BG, my world latency peaked at 8k by the time it ended.
