    Post My ping is killing me- suggestions

    Since NCWorst (sorry *cough* Soft) had the bright idea of moving servers to a US Central location, you may have experienced the following:
    • joy if you are US West Coast
    • the new joy of rubberbanding or getting a couple of skills at a mob if you are on the East Coast.

    No, your gear has not been downgraded, if your ping (/ping) is over 100 then you may feel like it. You may want to use a proxy. Information on the forums indicates that this does not violate the TOS. You may either pay or use a free service. I have started using Battleping BATTLEPING for lower ping. Say goodbye to high ping and enjoy a low game ping.

    a free service that has brought my ping down from over 300 to anywhere from 70 to about 130. I select the closest server (in my case Washington D.C.) instead of Texas.


    If you decide to try it, it is very straightforward to use - I use it with my firewall with no issues.

    I have known about this since the CBT/Launch and used it a few times. I did forget about it and didn't know it was still free. Thanks for sharing Cali!

    EDIT
    I'm using this now and it's lowered my ping by 100ms. I usually play at around 180ms - 300ms, but now I'm at around 75ms. Thanks again Cali!

    Hi

    It wouldn't help if I told you- I'm not in the US- this is the issue-geographically I'm routed through various servers- if you're outside the US your ping is going to suffer. My actual download speeds are fine otherwise since I have an internet connection that is mostly fiber-optic, and will (hopefully) be all -fiber optic when that is supported (presently up to last 300 m).

    I get routed through multiple servers, it isn't a direct route (North- South) to the NCSoft location. You can trace this is ever you're interested.
