It's not that bad when connecting from australia ... and classic MMOs are generally more forgiving than FPS and "action MMOs" if you have a high ping.themoondoggy wrote:400 ping is not bad..... ummmmmmmm what planet do you live on?
400 ping is horrible and a game based on pvp is even worse.
Also the "almighty low-ping" is not the only important factor (packet losses, high jitter on the line) and ICMP packets are just for connection tests, it's no "real" traffic.
In the past i had a lag free connection to the server, if i had a routing with a slightly higher ping.
