Here's how to test ping:

1. Open up a the run interface (Windows Button + R).

2. Type in ‘CMD’ – this will bring you to the command prompt.

3. Type in ‘PING <IP Address>’ – you can find IP addresses of each FFXIV ARR server below.

4. At the bottom you will be given the minimum, maximum and finally your average ping.

North America Datacentre | square-enix.montreal.com | IP address: 184.107.107.176

Europe Datacentre | eu.square-enix.com | IP address: 209.130.141.243

Japan Datacentre | jp.square-enix.com | IP address : 202.67.53.202

My average results from Newcastle NSW with ISP Internode are: Japan:158, Europe:296, North America:264.

Wrong server IP addresses. Not sure where you got them from.. but those are website hosting servers (not even on Ormuco's segments either).. they are not used for the game.

To get a better metric, need an actual game server. Can get them with netstat/resmon once you are fully logged into the game. Otherwise, you can use the lobby servers:

neolobby01.ffxiv.com
neolobby02.ffxiv.com
neolobby03.ffxiv.com
neolobby04.ffxiv.com
neolobby05.ffxiv.com
neolobby06.ffxiv.com

Odd addresses are in Japan, even ones are in Canada.
