Manutoo,
Has something changed with the game server(s)? For the last couple of days, the pings are so high that I can rarely play online. I don't know of anything with my system that has changed, and my Internet connection speed is very good.
Thanks!

Hello,
there's no "game server"... Only your PC, your opponent's PC and Internet between them, and I don't control any of that...

Why would my ping be as high as 900 when my PC is fine with no problems, no other programs up and a fast internet??? When I first tried it was around 400 but now it has been over 1000 and around 800-900 mostly.

Ping doesn't only depend of your side. The ping depends also of the computer u ping. If you mean about the ping u get from the "Connection Test", the server does many things and the ping is also very dependent of the rush hours...
Lastly, it seems u're from Australia, so anyway, u'll have big trouble to have a ping lower than 400ms with the USA & Europe...

Devestating about the Australia thing. Oh well, I'm happy with the World Tour anyway.

There are still a few players in Aussie with which you could have a good ping, and maybe a few South-East Asian players (if there's any).
