Just checked. www.telia.net is down, so it's a network fault on their side. More info

Traceroutes and pinging gaming servers are pointless because of 2 reasons:

1) Traceroute and ping uses the ICMP protocol, while your gaming client uses the UDP or TCP protocol which gets handled differently by mweb/afrihosts shaping policies.
2) This won't make sense to 99% of people so it's probably falling on deaf ears. (eyes?)

... or the server is set not to reply.

ok so how does one ping a battle.net europe server?

Blackhand succesfully pinged telia, it is the server where Battle.net is being hosted

Incorrect, you are able to ping the router located within telia's backbone, or traceroute to it, but you will never actually get responses from the server directly. Hense after x amount of hops you start getting timeouts, ICMP's are blocked, they are the key source of denial of service attacks.
