' Wrote:As an ANZlagger I am subject to ping times in excess of 600 for extended periods. Nothing can fix this, because of the simple distance between me and the server.
Yet I still manage to play and enjoy myself here. Albeit whilst avoiding any pvp-ness beyond defending myself (which itself is quite lulzy. What is lag? Ping? How can I reset my connection? Is that a euphemism for something? What the hell mate?)
And, as a povo tertiary student, I still managed to buy myself a computer capable of running Freelancer a hundred times side-by-side. It only cost me $400. And that's a lot for me since I am paid about the same *per month*.
Don't bitch about lag unless you're Australian and thus have an excuse.
Don't bitch about a ****ty computer. Buy a new one. It's not expensive at all. Go mow people's lawns for some pocket money.

Go onto www.speedtest.net, perform a test and post the results here. So we can see whether or not it's your connection that's causing this.

so it is not your specs of your high end super maximum Ultra PC it is the distance to Server plus your Connection ! so jeah move near to the Server and you are fine biggrin.gif
