Why did the IP change? It is not static? If not, how do you keep the same one so long? if is is static... WTH?

Tried the new location last night, not bad  also LOL ive had DHCP leases last for about a year and a half, they usually stay unless your network goes down, we finally had to reset our cable modem & firewall, after that weve been about 5 months per IP. It certainly is possible tho.

Hi there, been a while

Server went back to 80 ping (boo) for me. Looks like the tracert is in chicago and not San Jose?

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted How's your ping Helen?

Yes, I also have found that Chicago IL has a good ping for most players - even over seas players.
Now, they (GameServers) recommended that I move my Redirect from Chicago to New York/New Jersey area a few months ago, because it is less problematic and also faster - I agree!
Now, my servers are in Chicago, and the redirects are in NY/NJ area.

I believe my ping used to be 60. My ping is now 55 in-game. However when looking at the server in the browser list is kinda wierd, it's ping is the same as mine which is still on LAN only. Server works well tho.

I was quite abit off before, must have been other network traffic at that time of day, it was morning maybe it was my eyes    my 5 minute long (avg match length) ping as follows! coolness!
