    The euro server is in Germany. Your trace might be picking up the login server, which is handled differently.

    The EU megaservers are located in Frankfurt, Germany. Traceroutes and WHOIS etc are not 100% reliable, not to mention you may be picking up the login/social servers which may be US based.

    There's a lot that can happen between you and the servers. Having "100mb fibre internet" doesn't really mean anything. I get about a 50-60ms to the world servers from the UK however a friend who lives closer geographically (France) gets a worse ping due to line quality et cetera.

    But the actual world servers are most definitely in Frankfurt, Germany.

    The authentication server is unique and it's in the US. But the actual game server is in Germany. Probably the trace route picks up the former.

    My ingame ping is normaly around 70ms, which is good considering I live in a rural area in England. I do not have the luxury of Fibre optic caple, I just have an 8.4mb DSL connection, but i'm lucky to have a clear line, so my download speeds can almost reach 1mbps, depending on the server i'm connecting to of course.

    So bigger is not always better :)

    Thats probably a login server.
    Im pretty sure that EU server is actually in Germany, at least my ping in game is around 80-100, and on pts (which is NA only) its around 300+.
