WE WANT YOU! To run some ping tests

[izzy]

WE WANT YOU… to help us improve your playing experience on our servers!

We’d appreciate your help to research various hosting providers in the eastern US. We’re particularly concerned about players from the LATAM region, but everyone from anywhere in the world is encouraged to run these tests!

This is a 2-step request:

Step 1

• Please run a ping on each of the following IPs, then vote for the one that has the lowest ms for you:

Copy-paste convenience

ping 161.129.181.2

ping 154.53.33.115

ping 63.251.20.100

ping 45.77.160.49

• Bloom Host (Miami): 161.129.181.2
• Contabo (New York): 154.53.33.115
• NFOservers (New York): 63.251.20.100
• Vultr (Miami): 45.77.160.49
• Suggest other in reply

How to run ping on Windows?

Additional traceroute details

Secret Step 3

If you have time and are willing to share your routing information, it would also help our research. Please send your results as a private message to @staff-sysadmin for your privacy.

Example to run a traceroute in Windows Command Prompt:

tracert 45.77.160.49

…or, MTR would be better:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/winmtr

Linux example:

traceroute 45.77.160.49
