Is anyone still playing world of warcraft? My cousins who live in Germany got me to join with their guild, but the speeds be too slow for raiding. I am slowing down the group by too much with ping times of 150+ms - apparently I am suppose to only be anywhere from 20-80 maximum.

They say because the distance from europe servers is longer that I should use a VPN to connect to Germany - does anyone use a VPN for gaming? I tried with free ones, but the speed is usually slower, or it only allows me to use it for a little bit, but since my cousin gifted me with the wow subscription, I think I am going to choose a paid service. They suggest I pick one from here: http://vpnpick.com/best-vpn-gaming/ and I suppose any service with german locations will work - but I want to make sure it will actually work. they say in the article that it makes a short and private direct connection to the location.

If anyone can tell me if the VPN solution will work for lowering my ping time, please advise.

Also we are looking for more African players to join our guild if interested in playing with us.
