    New Zealand's population is around 4 million currently

    ...The country has the highest density of sheep per unit area in the world.
    For 130 years, sheep farming was the country's most important agricultural industry, but it was overtaken by dairy farming in 1987. Sheep numbers peaked in New Zealand in 1982 to 70 million and then dropped to about 40 million...

    Sheep are warm and well sometimes we get lonely..so the Australians think anyway. They can't catch their comfort creatures they either jump to high and fast or have chlamydia.

    260-320ms is about the norm for me. 400+ during larger PvP battles. Makes aiming puncturing sweep a little more tricky, particularly against bouncy people. Always nice when you can still put up a decent fight against those you know are US opponents though.

    I am currently testing Battleping to see if it helps reduce latency. I was skeptical at first but it does seem to reduce my latency from Japan to the NA server by a significant amount:

    Without BP:

    Latency to BP server in Texas (same state as the NA game server):

    With BP active:

    The difference might seem insignificant to some, but believe me every little bit helps--particularly in PvP.

    Sometimes the reduction in latency is even more pronounced, but this is what it is at this moment for me while standing in Alik'r.

    Interestingly I am picking up almost 50 ms of latency from the Battleping proxy server to the NA game server. This latency number that is displayed in-game is a little misleading, though, because it isn't a simple ping but also includes the amount of time it takes for the server to process information and send it back to me. I don't know but ~150 ms to travel around the world and 50 ms to travel a couple hundred miles in Texas just doesn't add up to me. Game server latency seems to be pretty significant.
