used to have 36 ping in the beta.. then they moved servers and i was getting 60ish now im getting 60-70 sometimes 80 range for my ping. and now i see that the clan pages are messed up....AGAIN! ping isn't so bad for me but what i can suggest is something a buddy gave me. what this does is it unbundles your packets. windows by default has them bundled. meaning it tells the server "just send em" instead of "wait...wait...ok got it send the next one!" i have noticed better reg since i have used this and my ping doesn't seem to matter with this. also you ping will fluxuate but overall it is more stable for gameplay than what we have now.

all this does is changes a 1 to a 0 or vice versa. there is even an undo option to revert it back if you don't like it. =D

its on a wow site but it works for everything that uses the internet.

this is on the page for it. so if your OS doesnt support it you dont have to waste your time. it also explains it better than I can.


System Requirements

Leatrix Latency Fix is supported on these operating systems only.

• Windows XP (SP2 or higher)
• Windows Vista (SP1 or higher)
• Windows 7

Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows are supported.
Macintosh users should read the relevant section in the FAQ below.

How It Works

Online games generally use the TCP protocol which requires that network segments sent to your computer be acknowledged in order to provide a reliable connection.

Windows bundles these acknowledgements together and sends them in pairs. While this is an efficient way of dealing with them generally, the inevitable delays caused by the bundling process increase latency considerably.

This is because when Windows queues up an acknowledgement in order to bundle it with the following one, the game server has to wait for the acknowledgement timer to expire before sending new data.

Leatrix Latency Fix removes the acknowledgement bundling process so that an acknowledgement is sent immediately for every segment that's received. This produces a significant reduction in latency as there is no longer a delay before new data is sent to your computer.

In a normal networking environment, you would prioritise network efficiency over latency and use the Windows defaults, but in online games the opposite is true and you want the lowest latency you can possibly get.

Typical Scenario

If you could listen to a conversation between your computer and the game server, this is what you would hear.

Before Leatrix Latency Fix is installed:

• Server: "Ok computer, I just sent a data packet over to you, got it?"
• Your computer: ...
• Server: "Come on, answer me! I don't have all day! Stop wasting time!"
• Your computer: ...
• Server: "Ok, forget it, I've waited long enough, sending another one over! Got it?"
• Your computer: "Yep, got that one, also got the one you sent before, thanks."
• Server: "Well, why didn't you acknowledge the first one when I sent it? I was waiting ages!"
• Your computer: "Sorry, I'm just trying to make the network more efficient by bundling the acknowledgements together in pairs. This is how I'm setup by default."

After Leatrix Latency Fix is installed:

• Server: "Ok computer, I just sent a data packet over, got it?"
• Your computer: "Yep, send the next!"
• Server: "That was fast! Ok, here's another, got that?"
• Your computer: "Yep, send the next!"
• Server: "Wow! What an improvement! Now that's more like it!"
• Your computer: "Yep, it's certainly keeping me on my toes, thanks!"

Windowns 7 gives u lagg (some bug)

I had the same problem but now i have windows XP

with Windows 7 i had 100/150 ping in Uk servers
with Windows XP i have 40/55 ping in uk servers

So the problem is with your Windows, trust me

Just put XP/Vista and your ping will get better
