Hey guys,

So sometimes, especially in the evening, I notice that when doing Dungeons etc, weaving and so on does not work properly anymore and I start hitting the same skill twice(DK Eruption mainly). This is due to lag.
Then I did some digging. And now I have even more questions.

Lets start off my general information.
I am loccated in Germany. I play on the "European Megaserver". So I thought at least.

Now we go to the problem.

So this evening, It started getting really "laggy" again, when rotations started to mess up. So I did a little ping check on the performance monitor. Since I had 200ms or around that in the ingame meter. Here is a pic of that :

So I was like. Something is not right there. Usually I get 30ms around the day. So I looked up the IPs.

So why do we in Europe get rerouted to an NA Server Zenimax? This happens every evening when EU players go do trials and so on, you know that right? I remember this even happening back 3 years ago. Before I took a big big break.
People play on an EU server for a reason. I get my rotations messed up from this, NPCs take 5 seconds to talk to me after I press "Interact". Why is that a thing? It is not right... Please let me and all the others play on EU servers all the time.. That is why people choose EU. To not get bothered by this lag..

    Well at least it's not 999+ some of us gettin.
    It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
    Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,
    It lies behind stars and under hills,
    And empty holes it fills,
    It comes first and follows after,
    Ends life, kills laughter.

    Hey @xMovingTarget, nice to see you back arround.

    At the moment, and this for more than 6 months, the game is unplayable without VPN for many, really many people that I play with.

    Traceroute show that the struggle point is from Akamai server (ZoS services provider for cyber security, anti bot, anti ddos).

    All those infos can be easily found on forum, yet ZoS didn't adress the issue ...
