If LagAlarm has saved your character, consider supporting development (you’ll be redirected off CurseForge):

LagAlarm is a lightweight lag monitor built for WoW Classic Hardcore players. When your ping spikes to a dangerous level, LagAlarm hits you with a full-screen red flash, a loud alarm sound, and a raid-warning style message in the center of your screen — so you always know when your connection is putting your character at risk.

Features:

🔴 Full-screen red flash overlay when lag is detected
🔔 Alarm sound alert
⚠️ Raid-warning style text displayed center-screen
📢 Chat message showing your exact ping and lag type
Detects both high home latency (your connection) and server-side lag (world vs. home gap)
Combat Only Mode — suppress alerts outside of combat to reduce noise
All settings save automatically between sessions

Settings (open with /lagalarm or /la):

Ping Alert Threshold — alert when home latency exceeds X ms
Server Lag Threshold — alert when world/home latency gap exceeds X ms
Alert Cooldown — minimum seconds between repeated alerts
Check Interval — how often your latency is sampled
Toggle screen flash, sound, and combat-only mode individually
Test Alert button to preview the flash and sound
Reset Defaults button
