Itd depend how close you are to the Oceania (Australian) server. Go to Start--Run and type "cmd" no quotes.

This will bring up a black with a C:/ prompt. At that prompt type "ping oceania.owo.com" no quotes again.

You should get a series of numbers after a few seconds that are followed by "ms" Thses numbers represent how fast data can get from you puter to the server. I would be shooting for under 100 for fairly smooth gameplay.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes

I got an Average of 44ms on there man how does that sound to you?

Is the game still full of people and worth playing? all i ever get is negative feedback from people saying the game is dead and crap and to much risk in the game and to go play World Of Warcraft..... but stuff that i love games with risk of loosing stuff to other players and actually getting a challenge.

44 sounds good

**Ezekiel** · 12th January 2007, 08:12 PM

44ms average ping is fantastic. The best most can ever hope to achieve is around 32 and a great many people play the gae with pings over 100 and even higher.

Alls I can say is that you get 30 days of game time free when you buy the game (Im almost positive at least) and the game is cheaper than WoW. What do you have to lose?

There alot o helpful people at the forums here and in game that would be glad to answer any questions and whatnnot yu may have, so give it a try!

I didn't know how to check that before...

Average ping to Atlantic: 73ms
Average ping to Lake Austin: 37ms

Oh, and Welcome to UOForums V0llEY

If you're pinging 44, that's good. I never have a problem when I'm in Atlantic.
