    Mine usually sits at 250-300. It's not that bad honestly.

    I'm under Vodafone in AKL, and I can PVP just fine. Ping is atoun 200 mark but performance wise, it is smooth.

    What WTFast does is that it creates a VPN tunnel between your computer and ZOS's servers. It cannot make your packets travel any faster than what it already is traveling at. What the VPN does is that it optimises the routing of your packets, to ensure that your packets always take the shortest route between your computer and the servers. 200-250 ping is really the best you'll ever going to get when connecting from AUS to EU or NA. Your packets cannot travel faster than what the cables will actually physically allow.

    Even though you may not get much of an improvement from the routing change, it at least offers some consistency in your pings, thereby reducing the number of lagspikes you'll get. I find that the stable connection really shines in larger fights or at peak hours, as then many people are competing for prime routing, and the software ensures that your routing will almost always (Assuming correct configuration) be optimal.

    i tried wtfast it makes your ping +100 worse for this game.. makes it more stable.. but i had to turn it off. for other games yes
