OK I was dubious when a friend suggested WTFast

Are they paying you for this? They're paying you aren't they? It made zero difference for me personally. I gave it a try when I was on my original server, before I transferred to Ragnarok, since playing on a US server from the EU was really killing the connection.

I have no doubt the service works for some, but it's not a cure-all, and shouldn't be advertised as such.

it won't do much for you from the EU because crossing the pond is pretty hefty and there's not really a lot of routing choices.

The fact that they have their servers hosted on a slow ass business cloud network with a crapton of redundancies which slows it down.

Getting the servers OUT of Quebec would help a ton for most of the players in NA, and putting them on the west coast would fix the AU problem a little bit.

I've been using it for the past 2 years. It does reduce the latency to some degree and it's especially noticeable when tanking and chaining skills. The game can't keep up with fast apm players (keyboard and mouse) without it. Eu data centers can't come fast enough.

You're not going to get the same latency from EU that NA players will to a server located in North America. Ever.

And I agree with the need for EU servers. They're in Quebec to attempt to reduce latency for you guys, but they're in what has to be one of the shittiest centers on the east coast.


My latency from where I'm at isn't going to get much better(I get anywhere between 80 and 90 ms from California most of the time) because of the grid where I live. No amount of routing is going to fix the shitty infrastructure in my college town. The actual physical infrastructure is shoddy and they won't put the money into it to replace worn wires and stuff because of how remote we are and how small the population is.

It's the difference between unplayable and playable Ninja from the EU.
