There's my main. I am not a fan of the lag that's in Borean Tundra, but then one of my friends told me to wait until I got to Dalaran. Supposedly it's worse than Shattrath, which means I probably won't go there for fear of getting kicked off as soon as I step in the city.

Oh God...Dalaran lag...

I have a solid connection and a nice set of hardware. That said, the second I step into Dalaran, my FPS tends to plummet from about 35 down to 15 while my latency jumps from the standard 115 I usually hit to around 300 or 400.

It'll pass, though. It's basically replacing Shattrath as THE place to hearth for high levels. It's bad sometimes, but it doesn't even touch the lag I've gotten in Orgrimmar on more than one occasion and I can't imagine it being any worse than Shat probably was in the early days. You could easily get to Shatt as soon as you dinged fifty-eight, but you need to be either 74 or bribe a 'lock to get to Dalaran, and even if you do, there's nothing much to do there before that, so you're really only seeing 74-80 players.

Set your HS to lower city for faster load times and more managable framerate.

You still of course need to go topside for portals...

jmrz:
Man, dude. I am running on 200 - 400 latency all the time. Dalaran jumps me up into the 800's to 1000's. It takes a good 10 seconds before my character even appears. It has gotten a lot better though lately. The first time I went there I couldn't even walk around properly.

Correction: Anyone gets motorcycles.  Engineers are the only ones that can make them, but they do not require Engineering to use.  Complete bullshit, if you ask me, because no one's gonna pay 15,000 gold for a mount - and that's about how much they cost to make (around 12,000-14,000.)

That said, being an Engineer is still incredibly fun, just not particularly lucrative.  Rifles cost a lot of materials to make; it's cheaper to simply buy the enchanting materials off the AH.
