[claymore66]

Hi, I'm considering coming back to eve and would like to know if there is a way somehow to lower my ping? Maybe something like what WoW had/ has...

Wtf? :/

Not really... As Eve is a 'sandbox' game rather than a 'shard' based game we all play on one server set, hosted in London...

As an Aussie you have pros and cons:

Pros -
* Quiet timezone allows for some tasks being easier (like running gatecamps or
travelling in hostile space)
* Alliances love Aussie Corps as they defend/attack whist the rest of eve is
asleep or at work...

Cons -

* Bad Ping time...
* 30 min Downtime at 8:30pm (Adelaide time) whist is prime playing time...

Move to London ;P

Not looking forward to the bad ping/quiet timezone for when I eventually move back to Aus.

Yeah but there's no workaround? nothing at all?


Would others care to show their ping to the eve servers?

I mostly pvp when i do play so i find it annoying.

The only real time i found the ping annoying was in NC fleets. Having 750blues + just in one system really kills it. Was kinda why i never flew in their CTA fleets. Taking minutes (or in the case of the lag monster, hours. Is that thing dead yet?) to load system was never fun.

negatory

in other words that ping is fine, mmos don't depend on 0.1 ping times like FPSs. a ping of over 400 - 500 would considered high but anything under 300 is normal
