[ PC users NA / EU ] Post your traceroutes in prime times and non-prime times!
Dear all,
After making a quite comprehensive post on the server / network lag thread (and to be honest I believe that a combination of factors is to blame, this includes network lag for people using congested links), I thought it'd be nice to collect some data to prove to SE that their bandwidth links can get congested.
Here are the instructions, meant to actually keep this test simple:
1) Find your server's IP from http://www.arrstatus.com/ (Hover over a server to find its IP)
2) From Windows, open up a command prompt (Use Run or search for cmd if you can't find it), and then type up the command:
tracert <server IP>
Where <server IP> is the complete IP of your server, no <> brackets or anything else. Example, for Balmung: tracert 199.91.189.30
3) Once the traceroute runs, save the results (You can use right click--->Mark and copy them in default Windows CMD)
4) Collect two sets of results - One for "prime time" in your area and one in a dead time (in the morning, after midnight, your choice, but a time when people aren't playing that much).
5) Paste results here, labeling them first for prime time or non-prime time to differentiate.
6) Compare your networking performance with other people from / to SE's NA/ EU datacenter.
7) Hopefully, apply more pressure to SE to -also- fix their networking providers issues, apart from any other underlying netcode issues.
