AU Servers
Minimum: 344 ms / Maximum: 368 ms / Average: 357 ms
Remarks: I get 3 connection bars constantly and it is very hard to play

EU Servers
Minimum: 326 ms / Maximum: 347 ms / Average: 332 ms
Remarks: I get 3 connection bars constantly and it is very hard to play

US Servers
Minimum: 207 ms / Maximum: 220 ms / Average: 211 ms
Remarks: I mostly get 3 bars and sometimes 4 bars. 200 ms is not enough for me at all, I need like lesser than 50 ms. And also, I'm kind of jealous of people with 4 to 5 bars in US servers. I need 5 bars to play properly.

..It also shows the direct ip for the servers you try it on. Doesn't this make it easy for ddosers?
Considering your computer looks up the direct IP anyways while connecting, no, it doesn't really make a difference.

Wouldn't using a direct ip make your ping slightly lower? Considering it wouldn't have to be passed through DNS servers...
Or am I fantasising?

Nope. The DNS lookup is done before doing the ping.

Just thought I'd bump this in-case more people wanted to test their ping.

I'm also interested to know why I can't ping AS or CA, why is this?

AU: 36ms
US: 180ms
EU: 368 ms

Why do most good Australian players have under 100ms? I'm sitting here with a freaking 120-150 connection to AU..
Not sure, what state do you live in? Pretty sure the servers are hosted in Newcastle in NSW, do you live a long way from there? I'm in Melbourne.
