Is world latency high, home latency high, or both? Also if you leave a ping running in the terminal (like to 1.1.1.) Is there a matching latency increase with when you see the performance drop?

I'm also playing WOW Forever on Linux but I'm doing so via Lutris and fiber. So it's definitely possible. Just need to figure out the bottleneck you're hitting.

sometimes world. sometimes home. sometimes both. but never dip below 500.

ping 1.1.1.1 is consistent around 20 to 30 ms
