I have no 2002 since day 2. Having a good ISP and wired connection helps.

If I sit in someone's shoes playing NA servers, I would do these.

- Estimate when you'll get in and queue early (and check for errors)
- Queue early with remote desktop or Teamviewer if I'm working. Periodically check for errors.
- Ask friends or neighbours or relatives to help you queue early
- Watch videos or play other games if I queue on the spot at peak hours
- Try Japanese servers and play alts. I can tolerate 100-300ms ping. They are sleeping at peak hours.
