I get so many disconnects especially when a boss dies that the game is 
virtually unplayable. Is this only in Europe? We had some realm fusions 
going on

I dont disconnect at bosses, but I kept DC'ing a lot when I changed 
zone.  I found out the Oqueue addon caused this.

I don't have that addon, but of course it could be another addon. 
Unfortunately I find it very hard to play without any addons at all, I 
could remove the ones first that I need the least. Thanks for the tip.

Yeah.  I have the game on 2 computers.  One of them also had the Oqueue 
addon installed.  And this addon caused 3-5 seconds lock-ups at zone 
changes and especially after teleports.  I learned how ton avoid the DC, 
but I never used the addon anyway so I decided to delete it.
I can imagine other zone dependant or boss fight dependant addons can 
cause DCs too.
Maybe your install is so messed up that a new WoW install with all fresh 
addons from Curse is the best solution?

It actually happened after the last install which was a complete fresh 
install. I was away for 3 months so I thought it was due to all the changes

I don't think that the raid even if it's looking for raid would 
appreciate me not healing them the entire time till the boss dies. I 
cannot heal properly without healbot and dbm.

ps yesterday I was in normal SOO and it went perfect all the way, no dc 
for me at all, so probably it's something in lfr

You can still try to make a repair though.  The repair tool is found 
somewhere in your wow folder. :)
Btw.  Maybe an unnecessary question.  But do you keep your addons updated?

yes I keep all the addons update. The reason I think it's not on my side 
is that many of my fellow guildies also often dc of lately.
Apparently it is not on the united states servers because noone of you 
has experienced this.

The server I am on recently merged. I repaired and disabled all the 
addons except DBM and recount (I was on my hunter so no problem with 
that) last night. I think it might be something with my internet because 
not only wow often shut down but also ventrillo.

Open a dosprompt, do a ping -t <ip adress> and play WoW.  Some ip 
adresses ignores ping so you have to find an ip that answers your ping.
If you DC you can scroll back in the dosprompt and look for timeouts. 
And if you have timeouts you have to check your modem, cables etc. and 
maybe even contact your isp.
ADSL and cable Modems are usually built to last 4-5 years before they're 
worn out.

I forgot to mention it CAN be remnants from a DDoS attacks or similar 
somewhere on your route between your computer and your realm's server.
I sit in Copenhagen, Denmark, and my realm is placed in Paris, France. 
Until recently I had random DCs and sometimes it lasted for several minutes.
My internet connection was fine and stable so I did a Tracert to my 
realm and saw my line to Paris stopped somewhere in Germany (more 
exactly around a hub near Dusseldorf or Frankfurt as far as I remember).
Afaik the raid/dungeon servers are placed outside London and I cant 
remember the last time I've experienced DCs in raids or dungeons unless 
the so-called world server went down and kicked everybody off.  Only 
when I was PvE'ing on the realm server in Paris...
