Hello,

i always here on these forums about WoW ping being at like 500-800ms why does that game have such high pings?
 
Its called latency plus congestion, which at certain times of day is much worse. Try running tracert and find out for yourself...

Any server outside SA (and the UK and New York which are relatively close at 250ms), will have ping times in excess of 350ms, due to the large number of hops.

Hello,

I was wondering why you have taken it upon yourself to use this forum to answer every single question that comes into your mind at every available opportunity.

Surely you have figured out that you can use Google, ask a friend, buy a book without constantly creating threads to ask each and every single question that is on your mind?

Might i direct you to read up on some forum ettiquette, and perhaps refrain from posting a new thread every 4.32 seconds.

Yes, I am irritated by you.
 
Doesn't matter, both aren't local.

But ja, I would like to know as well. Is there such high latencies between the US and UK as well? Is it because the uncapped guys are "abusing" the internetz? ;)

A buddy of mine said that when you traceroute the EU servers, it goes there and back, though if you traceroute the US servers, it hops through the EU servers and then to the US.

I am also irritated - makes two of us .. and I told him the other day "Google is your friend .."

The ironic thing is, he's the first one to say "google it!" when he comes across a thread where he has no answer. :p
 
Lol yeah I have noticed he posts ALOT of threads o.o And yeah. When in doubt, google is your friend. And if google cannot give you the answer, you should /suicide. Or... look elsewhere. I think most will do the first though. Anyways errm. To answer, as others have already said

Can depend on quite a few things. Line speed, your exchange, line quality, the distance from you and the server, congestion at times etc etc. All these things can come into play. I know there are more things that could also effect the pings, but yeah. Those are the first things that come to mind. Anyways. Im going to go and find something to murder in my yard. Hopefully a giant green monster with 3 and HALF eyes. :3
