Hurricanes sometimes, but the real danger are wildfires...

I play rift through Pingzapper and I experience MS of about 180 to the US servers and the impact on the game is minimal, but thats my opinion. As the defiance servers are in the exact same location as the RIFT servers, no doubt pingzapper will support Defiance. Pingzapper is the old Wow Tunnels.

Ah that sounds good, haha I am in Tassie, so its a little extra distance but with the NBN coming our way that delay should be minimalized :)

Not numbers of course but percentages, yes. Hence my use of the wording 'ONE OF'
Korea is a dominant gaming country but China and Singapore surprisingly report lower percentages than Australia.
Germany has numbers, not percentages.

I'm in Perth and I always end up on the EU server, it's fine, but is there's way to change this for trades, XBL friends and such? Or we just deal with where we are sent?
