Hi all,

I'm are currently setting up an NS2 server designed to accommodate games between Australian and European players. The goal of this server is to provide sub-150 ping to players from both continents to provide a level playing field for the first time.

I need your help with some routing tweaks! As I can only test the Australian leg, help me get the lowest pings for Europeans!

Can you please post your IN-GAME ping to the server, both direct and re-routed (as below) with your current location.

In console:
To connect via Amsterdam: connect 81.95.158.139:27015 ausns2
To connect via Paris: connect 159.8.91.227:27015 ausns2
To connect direct to Chennai: connect 169.38.75.109:27015 ausns2

All IP addresses will take you to the same server.

Thanks!

Thanks for the update - you should now be able to connect in-game with the first IP address.
