ASIAN AND AUSTALIAN SERVERS ARE BEAST :)
Hi there

Typical EA BS. Just goes to show that the ping bars in the server search are fabricated also.
THIS IS BS EA!

Is this true?
Take the IP adress ( 159.153.80.210 ) and put it in this website : http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm [geobytes.com]
I played on that europe server yesterday. well.....they call it a europe server. its east coast USA now, with a europe tag in the server information.

I heard the rumors for days and I did some ip traceroutes and stuff today and it is actualy true,
The battlefield europe servers , previously located in The Netherlands , all got migrated to the USA server park, Probably to reduce costs.
In my opinion it is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS , that the servers WE PAY FOR , as server renters and as normal bf3 customer, get moved to a place that adds another 100 m/s ping to the already high ping we have !
WTF EA ....at least we finally know what the reason is for not having our ping in the scoreboard : it will contain EXTREME numbers because of the geographical distance !
What used to be EU servers now end up in either California or Virginia! (Richmond?).
/ End of rant.
Link to the 91 page thread regarding displaying the ping in the scoreboard : * Link fixed *

I got an average ping of 72 ms.
That's not good but it's not exactly US, right?
