Hi i'm playing from Japan and was curious as to when using a VPN what would be my best choice to use? I have no clue where Elysium servers are located, and currently from japan playing on 300 sucks.

im in australia with a constant latency of 312. its really not so bad for a game like world of warcraft.

True but when I have a VPN service I pay for I would like to utilize its use :D

If you're using Microsoft Windows, then while you're connected, issue 'netstat -a -n' from a command prompt. That will display all the active IP connections your computer has at that time. Then you can examine the output and figure out the IP address that you're connected to.

In my case, I play on the Darrowshire realm and the IP address I get is 164.132.233.125.

Doing a whois on that IP address indicates that I'm connecting someplace in France. Now, that may be a proxy that in turn forwards to another location, but that doesn't matter since I have no control over that. What matters is where I enter the Elysium system and that is in France. Another way to deduce the location of where you're connecting is to look at the realmlist.wtf file that you must have to connect. You'll see the name logon.elysium-project.org which if you do a DNS lookup on translates to 164.132.233.125. Notice that's the same IP address as I determined via netstat. Once again, I get an indication that I'm connecting somewhere in France.
