Yes btu that is what I mean.
From Frankurt to Amsterdam it is much better than to Munich.

Same was true for me when I traced my routing some weeks ago.

Actually that isn’t strange all: Frankfurt (DE-CIX) is by far the largest internet hub in the world (by capacity/througput (up to 7 Terabits per second) /parallel handable users).

I’m surprised so many people have (had) better ping to EU1 in Munich.

Alsways tought most are routed over Frankfurt.
And from there the backbone is much better to Amsterdam than to Munich.
Got that reported from most people in Germany as well.
Like also in Dresden, Leipzig or Berlin (that are closer to Munich on the map), they are even routed over Frankfurt.
And also by one player from Krakow in south of poland.

lol… I play from Pakistan on the EU server since August 2011, with an average 300 ping. I have wn7 around 1732 and it would be slightly better if I hadn’t gotten disconnected in the middle on so many games due to my shitty ISPs. As lonigus said, WOT works well with high ping, even up to 300ms, but packet loss would kill your game regardless of ping.

Well this explains a lot….for example the fact i always had much better ping on EU1 and all of a sudden they were pretty much the same whole time…

Does this mean that all polish people should switch to RU3? ;)

Something you have to understand is the following:
1.) Login servers and game servers don’t have to be at the same location.
2.) Routing might change without the actuall server location changing.
3.) I dont know if they have the same IP, but if they do, it is in DE http://www.ip-tracker.org/locator/ip-lookup.php?ip=213.252.131.21
4.) A tracert clearly shows this, but the routing is new (and goes trough NL before getting to DE now).
5.) If they would be at the same location I dont see any reason why EU1 always got a higher ping than EU2.

All of this considered, I wouldnt be sure about where the servers are located untill someone have actually checked what their IPs are now.

Still laggy like hell as soon as the masses start to play. Its not the data center, it’s their 3rd class noobish netcode.
