Server check

Weert, Netherlands 52ms

PS: it's usually better to ping an IP from someone in the same rack and with the same service plan as your server will be, depending on their infrastructure it could make a difference. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Guys could a few US players with higher Lag ping the following server for me :

www.proserve.nl

They are held in high regard as having stable, fast gaming servers for the euro gamers, lets see what you guys make of it. Thanks /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I'd recommend looking into servers from the uk.

P.S.:
I might be wrong, someone pipe up if it is the case /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

138 average for me on the proserve.nl Slightly better than the previous server.

I'm not from the US (Canada), but that one has an average ping of 179ms for me.

Had 133 ms on the first one, have 122ms on the second... not that great of an improvement.

there are some from other countries nowadays i think, but the UK still has by far the most and best.

also i would get an even better ping in the UK, so i recommend it!

btw if you care, my ping to www.proserve.nl is 22, the other one was 36.

if you get it to 10, ill give you a prize!

UK would be a good place but......... UK providers are notorious for oversubscribing their lines. Generally speaking though UK is a place where all europeans get reasonable ping times, but not great ones. For the rest of europe usually some countries get great pings <40 and others >100 pings but if you base your server in the UK all of them get say 80 ping.

Probably we'd all be better off renting a server in a New Jersey or UK datacenter because then we can all have reasonable ping times. For a really low ping euro server we'd have to put up a poll to see which peeps are from what countries because it depends on the physical network between those countries and peering agreements between different exchanges/providers on what location will be best for hosting an ueber EU server. For datacentres in the same city you can get ping times to a 3rd world country like ... say Slovakia /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> that are between 30 and 100. It all depends on whether the server you rent is in a location that has an agreement with a company that connects directly to slovakia or not. (usually the cheap ass providers have a limited set of peering agreements via their backbone and thus you might be out of luck if you are from a region which they don't support). Sadly for IW Portugal is also a country that usually has very variable ping times depending on which datacenter/country you use.
