Pingtimes in server list
Just thought I'd float an idea and see what people think.
Wouldn't it be nice if the server list displayed some sort of indication of the ping time of the server next to it's description, maybe color coded? That way, I'd know better than to join a server halfway around the world.

The ideas of pinging a server and/or listing based on registered location have already been thoroughly discussed, as well as other organizational methods. It was agreed that the list server could use some sprucing up in its organizational aspects. Someone just needs to write the code for it.

Same hereGrace F wrote:That would help, though everything for me would be.well orangy or red if say blue was the color indicator for a server close to home and red was the indicator for a server furthest away. Kinda sucks when you enter a server, just get started playing and already get warnings to leave Oh well
Well, At least we'll be forwarned.
Great. I'm working on it now - If I can figure out how the damn thing works.The ideas of pinging a server and/or listing based on registered location have already been thoroughly discussed, as well as other organizational methods.

Yea some do. Even though all the Australian/New Zealand servers say its an OZ/NZ server, I still see people coming into the servers screaming 'LAAAAAAAG' when their like trying to play from the moon. If there was a ping extension people would be most tempted to look at that. I'd definetely use it for sure!

Also, this is done, and almost definitely will be in the next release.
