What is considered good or bad ping?

    For the majority of MMORPGs I've played, you'd want roughly 50ms to 110ms, and for TERA, this is most ideal. If you're not doing most needy roles like healing, support or tanking (regular DPS) it could be anywhere between 100ms to 280ms. Bad ping would be anywhere over 280ms, since it's counted by data sent per miliseconds, so that's roughly 0.28 second delay. In that small time, players who have 0.050 second delay can kill you and you wouldn't even realize it until the data was sent back to you 0.23 seconds after it happened. This is why ping matters. So when you hit over 1,000ms, you know you have a full second delay, any higher and the game is terribly unplayable. After TERA's servers hits 30,000ms, you have a chance of disconnecting due to your connection being so poor.

    So that would indicate the colors I see when I mouse over my clock to see my ping. (I just learnt that, If I am right?) Green is good, yellow caution, I've not see red so assuming red is bad. When I mouse over my clock to see ping, is that the right ping I need to be concerned about for my client? I usually reads anywhere from 65 ms to 126. That's on all the class I have presently. Priest, Archer, Warrior, Ninja, Lancer

    Green is Good.
    Yellow is Stable.
    Red is Unstable.

    You have about the same ping I have... other from those 370ms+ spikes that are normal in TERA. You're fine, at least you're not a EU or SEA player; those players can have anything from 180ms to 800ms.

    Ok so if the ping is better for those of NA North America I would assume why are EU connected to N/A servers and not have their own? Their ping should be a lot higher shouldn't it?

    ideal ping for tera is 5-10 ms lol anything above 100 is actually considered bad.

    EU players don`t play here because they want to play with 150-200-300-400 ping, they play becasue Gameforge forced us to leave, they remove any chance to can enchant gear, idk if remember , but when MWA was removed from LOT,ET etc, they don`t make an alternative solution for mwa, they release some boxes with mwa but can be buy only with real money, so was 100% pay to win, but when we come here, we find a good place, nice events, many sources of materials etc, we make gear and play with high ping. Now, on EU servers things seems to become better, but is hard to give up here, when you have friends, gear here, and on EU don`t have anything. To do short comparation , on EU 1 master enigmatic scroll is 400 gold and here is 9 gold..

    Thank you for your comment. It makes sense.

    Lets do an even better comparison, a Semi Enigmatic scroll here was 250-300g each, and in Taiwan KR and likely JP it is way more expensive.

    Levelling experience in TW is way more fluent than in NA because I only have a 80ms ping there compared to NA's 250, but at level 65 you will feel like you are way behind unless you spend money on the game.
