What is the latency or Ping check in game command?

Is there any command that allows us to check our ping to the ESO server?

Am on Mac OS so the windows commands wouldn't work for me, and it will be really surprising that a game released in 2014 doesn't have a Ping check.
People keep telling me they're gonna buy me an ale. They never do.

There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's culture. And the Elves.

    What value has a 'ping' check got in a game? Knowing the 'ping' time merely tells you about packet transport, it tells you nothing about how the game is playing.

    It's about the lag, which can be bad for a european or australian player.

    I think there's an addon for it, but I don't know of any /command for it.

    It's about the delay in client server information relay. I play from oceanic region, knowing whether my commands reach their server in 12 millisecond or 200 ms makes a difference. It would determine whether I go questing or go pvp.

    Thanks @AlexDougherty‌ will look for an addon.

    @Aeradon just checked and most of them seem to be subscription services to lower ping, not sure if any of they actually measure it.

    One addon seemed to say it migh measure it ESOUI but it seems to do fifty different things, and it keeps saying in the write up, select the features you want.

    Hope you have better luck looking than I did.

    @AlexDougherty‌ Yeah, found the same ones you did. Not too effective.
