Where are NA servers located?
I think they are in Texas. Could be wrong.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
in north america
I have roughly 100~ ping playing from vancouver, Canada…
any way to lower this? (i have broadband 60 internet)
NA servers are located in Texas. You can use the tracert tool to find the route your connection takes (instructions via google). gw2status.de is a website that shows the IP addresses of the various NA & EU servers. (Pick any NA auth, asset, or client server to run your test).
With the results, you can see at what “hop” (if any), your connection is slowing down. If you’re “lucky”, any slow downs will be local to you (so you can resolve them), to your ISP (so you can get on their case to do so), or local to ANet or their ISP. More likely, the slow down is happening somewhere in the middle.
Some people have good results using a proxy server. Normally, using a proxy slows things down (since your routing has to make an extra stop). However, sometimes, the route the proxy uses is significantly faster (fewer hops or routed through faster connections). Your mileage will vary.

From what i remember on release its in Texas. Seriously though… 100 ping ? Big deal, try my 650 ping from Barrow AK.

Mileage varies. 100 ping is a big deal if you are used to ~50. 650 ping is great if you are used to 800.

ANet offices are in Seattle, Washington.
I am Lucky enuff to have 40-50 ping where I am at, I hardly ever notice lag, and its typically on a boss train run or huge wvwvw fight when it does… but even then it lasts for aboutthe first 3-5 seconds of the encounter then goes away.
US ISPs have been on a downhill slide with regards to their peering and routes. Use a VPN.

They are in Bellevue, WA which has no bearing on the discussion since there are no game servers located there.

Sad but true. But not exactly the case for everybody though.

I used to play at 80-90 ping from Mexico but a few days ago I started to have 180 to 200. Hope it’s temporal
