Something clearly isn’t right at present.
I have connected to the las1 server three times in a row. I am in Sydney, Australia.
I googled where the Las1 server is located and it’s supposedly Las Vegas. That’s 12,000 kilometers away.
Needless to say, my ping to this server was really high.
We’re used to the occasional game for us ending up on sgs1 server. That’s already less than ideal. But if the game is routing us even further it warrants investigating.
Update
Just ended up on the gtk1 server. That’s Tokyo.
6 games tonight. 4 ended up on las1, one on syd2 and one on gtk1.
