Horrible Lag

[Raist]

Make sure you are tracing to an address the game actually uses....see a lot of people tracing to the wrong addresses. The servers in Canada all start with 199.

As for the results--you want the response times to be consistently pretty tight from one to the next. A wide variance in the times at one hop, or a major jump in times between hops is usually a good sign of congestion that needs to be addressed.

I appreciate the feedback, and I am using 199.91.189.42 as the server address for Leviathan, and I'm getting a * * * at number 4 and then one or two more randomly scattered, however this is at all times, when the lag isn't at all times.

Also note, there's never a massive spike in ping with the exception of 5-6 and 6-7 where it increases from 14->30->50 but it stays at about 50 the entire time, i also wouldn't really call those spikes massive.
