Ping between you and FFXI servers!

[Jei]

normally 100-200
sometimes it goes up to 500-600 in a little crowded PT place.
Serveral places my ping goes as high as 2000. jeuno, boyarda,

503ms holyshit but i think its the computer more then the connection cause my mate has the same ISP and his computer fly's on the net. You could have a good old laugh with this computer if you've seen it 133mhz, 1mb video card and you could imagine the rest :sweat:

I dont think that the computer will make this change since you are running an EXTERNAL operation and you are using DOS...and dos don't need more than a x86 to run...lol!
BUT your modem can change the values..a lot...just use a good one...!

And Jei...at 2000ms do you see laggy??

So noone knows how to change MTU settings?

Good topic.

The first time I got 4162 ms (2 of the 4 timed out) I have no idea what went wrong, but I averaged around 350ms the other 5 times I did it. 4 hops from Upstate NY. Below average dial-up connection.

[Shadowed]

It said my average was 170.......

[tpstarcraft]

OMG i just got an averange of 68

[Mania6]

Average is 170ms

Thank you....

And... well i have a ping like yours from Europe but i know the problem is the EURO-ASIATIC backbone...that messes up the connection...the AMERICA-ASIA connection is a lot more improved

THIS confirms that ANY computer from italy will get a 330-360ms value...(attacked image)

[spiezzaossa]

This is from another server placen in EUROPE (germany)...here u can see the difference between 10ms (in frankfurt) and 275 (in the backbone)...

[Lavian]

Oppsie u.u I put ~100, when I actually was consistently getting lower then 50.. I've been getting all in the 40ms's.... Of course I live in japan ^^ So that might have something to do with it...

i feel ashamed ,
i live in uk , using BT internet anytime conection with my 56k modem , and im the ony one that got 500-600 , well acctually my avg was 589ms , it did 4 (what do you call them hops ??) hops with np packet loss , i hope there will be all english wevers for the NA release , cus on Anarchy Online (piece o crap ) i got a ping of 200-400 , depending on how busy it was

[DJplaeskool]

not too shabby

[dara]

I have 480 ms average.


Could any of the current players with relative the same delay tell me if I will leg or not ?

Maybe Jei could tell how it is when he has 500 ping (in the little crowded areas ... ).

Thanks!

:confused: :confused:

[spiezzaossa]

Yeah...he's right we want to know if we will lag..so importers can help us....i've asked Jei if he could tell us if he lagged when he goes to 2000 in Jueno...but no response??

:confused: :mad: JeI??
