Guild Wars 2

If I transfer to a American Server? Europe is closer to my location the US is but will the lag be a high amount on barely a difference? my internet is like 15mbps and upload is like .25-2mbps

I used to always play on US servers (UK here), minimal lag, it’s not really about your speed as most games are optimised for quite slow connections, it’s more about your ping and latency.

What does your ping depend on exactly? On most MMO’s I play on the most populated servers with no lag. Since this was a high graphics game I thought it was different. (Can’t run the game with maxed out settings.)

Your going to have to try it, if it’s no good move back, nobody can give you an exact answer for what your asking.

That problem is it takes a week to move back.

Graphics settings will not affect latency to the server.

Ping (the latency between you and the game server) depends on the route your computer uses to connect to the server. This might include physical distance and number of hops your computer makes to get to the server.

The question to ask would be, “Where is my home server going to be physically located in the world?”

Neenja Edit:
US Servers are apparently in Austin Texas, and EU servers are in Frankfurt Germany.
