I'll make this quick so there's no tldr.
Before I say anything though - Yes, I know how pings work.
I have screenshots from April 2012 until today, and my ping then averaged around 48 to NA1/NA2
Now my ping to NA1/NA2 has risen to an average of around 68
However, when I use various ping test websites and test my ping to Chicago and surrounding areas (where the NA servers are), I get results similar to my 2012 screenshots - around 48 ping.
Just to confirm, servers are still in Chicago right?
TLDR
Used to get 48 average ping to NA servers
These days get average 68 ping to NA servers
Ping tests to NA server locations still show average ping of 48
------------------------
I am not looking to rant and flame or anything of the sort, just curious about what it could be and if others are having the same issues.
- Is this a cRPG netcode thing that has gotten bogged down over time?
- Do the rest of you get rather lower pings to the location of the cRPG servers you play on when you test it to that location outside of game?
