Hi I don?t know where this goes so I put it here.
My ping number is always really high and I keep getting band on servers, how can I fix my ping? Or what is wrong? I?d also like to know what ping is?


Thank you for any help

This topic might help somewhat:

However, I don't believe that actually lowers ping, just minimizes latency. What ping is is the time it takes for a packet to go from your computer to the server you're playing on. So, a higher ping means you're taking more time to communicate with the server, meaning you will lag.
Make sure to sort your server list by ping, and choose the lowest on there. If it is still large (>200), theres not much you can do but upgrade to a faster connection.

Note that I only sort of know what I'm talking about, but hope that helps. :|

It could also be, that he is connected to servers from across the country, and he could just have Dial-Up or a low end DSL. That would lag if you connect to U13 from like the ass end of Russia. Other than what was previously stated and server location to you.

UPGRADE TIME!!
