WoW performance

Hello all-- What are people's experiences with World of Warcraft in UAE? how's your latency? Any problems with the filters?

Thanks,
ctbritt

Wow

Etisalat latency: 700 - 1050 (even with port forwarding)
Du latency (with static IP) : 300 - 500 (With Port Forwarding)

No problems with Mods, Addons or Filters. I run BarTender, Cartography plugin(s) and Auction.

This on WOW Europe, Not WOW usa. You can get both versions in Dubai.

ive had no problems at all running WoW on my laptop, the only thing is of course the game will lag from time to time.
Other than that, I'm playing on WoW Europe which is really so much faster than playing on WoW USA.

My lag on a 1 mbps connection from etisalat (dynamic IP) varies from 200-600 ms. It is usually on the higher end on weekends.

BTW, anyone running WoW on a MacBook with the newer gfx card? My friend with the old macbook doesn't have this problem but my game always crashes when I open the map in Nagrand or SMV.

I am in Sharjah on Etisalat 4Mbit connection playing on a US East Coast Server Durotan. My latency is 350-550, but can get as high as 700. I play at nights (4am-8am) and I am sure it is worse during the day.

Can you please tell me what do you mean by port forwarding please.
