Server pings...

I play on Erica and I noticed the pings are big for some servers and small for others and excelent for those european. I am in europe so I can see why there is a good ping with them but amongst the other servers i can see: Erica, Sieg, Lionna, kain and Bartz s having almost 200 and over 200 ping while Devianne, Hindemith and Gustin have much lower pings <150.
What's up with that ? Why is Erica (as the other 200ish ping) worse in connectio latency ? Why are some NA servers better then others ping wise when the light/normal/heavy doesn't seem to have any impact...?
I am confused. Is there a chance I'll have better pings on Erica ? Or the immediate reply would be: move to an european server! .... ? :(

On 200+ ping the gameplay is not very fluent, I would even say it is frustrating... I want to click and the character to respond instantly not with an annoying delay and somtimes just freeze...

Ping responce have nothing to do with twhat you describe, I can have 200 ping, I can also have 600 in ping, the game plays the same, the difference is not noticable for you at all due how L2 handles it.

What on other hand make stals is not 600 ping, but packet losses, and only packet losses, Right now example I got over 50% packet loss to NCSoft, and it all hapens within the last routes to it, aka Savvis network, ben known for 2 years they will do nothing about it.

And about different ping,

server 1-4 west cost, server 5-8 east cost server 9-10 europe.

I haven't given any reasons, I have no idea why, i haven't tested the packet loss (will do so ...).
But from what you say, there is little to no chance in latency improvement...
Absolutley great... :confused:
