Improve ping outside Europe.

Proxy Hint

I understand that if you hire a proxy service for example in Chicago (the largest US internet hub) improvements in a large % ping people outside of Europe. It can be in Canada or even in Brazil. It is worth to clarify that the places that I chose are from the other part of the continent where the high ping is really noticeable. It is a good source that are not really expensive and this would help people from other parts of the world who may not dare to try because they do not have the possibility to compete against Europeans of -50ms. Clearly this will also bring new donations, newcomers and even population for the servers that today many know they are on the verge of playable.

From now thanks for the attention and I hope for me and many of those who today enjoy with high ping.

If this is possible, I would love to see something like this implemented, even if it results in the necessity of donations to fund it. Currently playing at ~200ms, it is stable but not ideal. I don't know about the legal issues that come from something like a proxy in the US, but if possible I would 100% support this idea.

I honestly also do not know the exact amount of what the proxy costs. But I thank you for the support. I am very sure that if they implement a proxy in North America or South America will improve the ping of many people who do not play for the high ping issue.

They have already spoken about using a proxy. The default response from the GMs is "If we had more funding we would do it". So, if you want better ping, donate money.

I will wait for a response from the Admin or who handles these matters here. I'm pretty sure if they implemented the proxy there would be a lot more people willing to donate. Currently without the proxy many outside of Europe do not feel that they are playing something decent by its ping.

Agree!

I'm from mid-eu, I usually have 50-60 ms, however I feel your pain. If they asked for more donation with a certain purpose, lot of people would donate, including me.

But of course I won't donate because they said they don't have the money for it.

I think after reading their reddit post you will have more chance for proxy in 2018, since I doubt that they will ask for money twice within a few months. (Idk the prices tho)

Hold on lads!

I would like to point out a lot of lag people are experiencing is a Server Software Core processing issue that scales up the time it takes to perform World Updates as more players are thrown at the realm. This has occurred since the Dire Maul patch for Elysium and starts getting noticeable at ~6.5k+ usually. This getting fixed will not resolve actual packet latency issues but it definitely exacerbates the problem a lot.

How does the server software core processing issue get fixed?

Someone who is knowledgeable in Mangos code reading server logs provided from the developers/sysadmins to "follow the trail" and find what part of the World Update process is taking so long as you add load to the realm.

Thanks for the support for more that you play with low ping is nice to know that there are people like you who supports the community that wishes to play competitively.

I do not know the operation of the Server Software Core but if the proxy server will help improve the ping for more than that problem exists, it would be great. Thanks for the support.
