Latency issue in this game...

[Maplekoya]

I am curious about what he considers "optimal connexion".
I live in a big city, in a country that's amongts the world's most developped as far as high speed Internet goes (far more than the USA, and even more than Canada, apparently), and although I don't have optic fiber, I have standart high speed Internet for here. I have never encountered such a problem in over 10 years of playing MMOs.

Optimal connection means living inside the border of the country the server is. You can have a 100mbs connection but get 500ms while someone with a 10mbs connection gets 20ms simply because the server is in his country.

Which would make about 280ms?
Aparently, it should still not be enough to play endgame content.

Anything below 300ms is very good ping. Anyone who argues otherwise has probably never played an MMO outside his country border before.

I don't also want to hear "it's not SE's fault!" They are the ones that put all the data centers in one spot that makes people far away have to have tons of hops to get there. That just severely increases the changes of going to a bad hop in the first place.

Sadly a majority of MMOs do that, if you play English servers which are mostly located in NA. The sad fact is if you don't live in NA, it's time to get a tunneling service.
