Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

I am experiencing problems regarding extremely small draw distances, on and off for the last couple of days. I am away from home, and so i use my dead time to casually mine nodes in various areas on my half-decent notebook. However, sometimes (regardless off server pop) i am plagued by insanely small draw distances (10 yds or less) and these seem to affect the detect minerals aswell, making it almost impossible to spot nodes unless i literally stand on them. Is there a fix for this? What is causing the change in draw distance, server performance, my laptop performance or my connectivity?

it's caused by terrible server performance and lag

As far as im aware Nost using dynamic reduction of draw distance based on current server population - it changes draw distance determined by total online: with 5-6k online draw distance is good, with 7-8k it starts to reduce, with 9-10k it is reduced to minimal values.

Lag is a result of high online, and i hardly doubt you can get stable server performance with any current harware for game developed 13-15 years ago and running 5 times more ppl than it should.
9k ppl is the ridiculous amount of players for such game as a WoW, just try to imagine how many packets is sending every millisecond through it and its core. I have no idea how does it actually work but i think server performance is reducing exponentionally, and every joined player after, lets say 8-9k, is significantly reducing its performance.

I've heard it gets better once you get above level 30. Would this be because there is less load on the zones with fewer players at that level? The new player zones are always crowded and that was why I figured I had draw distance limitations.

No it was the same in epl. It's because it's between Christmas and new year so everyone is off work making the server population huge, 9k ppl on before 1pm today
