Ping rate - Southern Hemisphere

[Zorg the Merciless]

Hi, my ping has reduced dramatically since we shifted to the new server. I use fibre at my office (central Auckland) and standard ADSL at home (rural Auckland). Ping rates were consistently around 195 at work and 210 at home with occasional lag spikes of between 400 - 4800. Yesterday and today (so far) ping is steady at around 330 with more regular lag spikes. I know that NZ internet isn't the best what with being in the middle of nowhere and all but this is making it tough to play.

Is anyone else experiencing this down here or in Australia?

Regardless, Merry Xmas to all and I hope you all (even the damn pirates) have a safe and enjoyable Xmas and new years.

Sail safe.

My ping has gone from 250 on global to 360 on EU. I have yet to use a VPN which might improve the hop but my NBN is 88MBPS down and 40MBPS up.

Despite what your not-so-local one-server dingbat may pretend, someone always gets f#%%^$ed. Don't forget to thank them on your way out.

And it ‘just so happens' to omit any and all East Europe+Russian pings which (incidentally of course )  are bad for a east coast server and terrible for a west coast one.

But I'm suuure the devs are on board with putting the server even at their own worst locale, that'd be the day. Now go flip some more empty ports.

Nothing was omitted, all volunteered data were included as of my last summary so perhaps the percentage of those magical Eastern European gamers with unplayable pings to PvP2 is very small or just doesn't exist?

Based on a broader survey of the game playing population and it's geographic distribution, ignoring Asian and Oceanic game players is a losing proposition don't you think?

And we have no problems taking empty ports and will do so until you learn to set your timers properly. Time to admit the tittybabies against a global server were wrong!

What your meagre "statistics" claim is that they are wholly non-existent, nice work there. Which is funny coming from a server with dead RvR, then dead population, and now completely gone, yet wants to be prioritized.

As for whatever page you linked, yeeeaaaah, no.
