Battleping for EU players

So anyone tried to use it? I know that in Aion it makes things so much better. I don't think there might be a better option for now to decrease the latency..

aside opening the doors to rmt ? sure.

Why pay for something that will ping a IP-adress when you can do it yourself.

In the run window type in cmd and start the cmd.exe. It opens the command window. In the command line you type: ping 199.91.189.74 -t
The ping adress I put in there is the pingserver in montreal for NA/EU servers.

Voila continues ping for free, just minimize and it will run until you close the command window.

Does this lower ping or just display it?

Gawan doesn't understand the purpose of these services.

Do you know what is Battleping...?

or you can just open the game and hold windows button + r and type in resmon to open the resource monitor then go network and look for ffxiv.exe and you can see your ping in real time

It does show your ping. If it lowers your ping, that I dont know. But if all the battleping program is doing is pinging a certain adress in a certain location. Then this does the same, but for free.

rly? Ofc is shows only your latency to the server. How in the world should that affect your routing? Maybe you should just use google and see for yourself how "latency" and "routing" works in general on the internet for client - server communications.
