So i took the plunge an downloaded the trial of WOW and i loved it the first day i had no problems with my connection i had very little lag Then the second day it was all good until it started to lag at around 9 oclock uk time i could still play but my ping was around 1000-2000 but it just lagged a lot and now today i log on i cant even stay on the server for 1 minute it disconnects me it does it every time i log on and its starting to pee me off i dont see how it could work fine on the first day and then not work at all now :sad:

Lol, dragonmaw. Try a lower population server. Trial accounts have a very low priority, in terms of server queuing. If the server is high population, with a medium/high pop of trial accounts, the trial users may be systematically disconnected and may experience lag as higher bandwidth is allocated to paying players. Find a server with mid/low pop and you should be okay.

Yes, do try what DrScience suggested first, while your character has nothing to lose. If that doesn't help, then you probably need to start looking at firewall issues, ISP, things like that. But before you bother with things like that, how is your connection otherwise, any problems outside of WOW?
