i going move to NA!!!

erm, sea can go US, but do US can come sea?

i guess.. sea will be quiet for a while~~~~

But back in sc:bw days latency seems ácceptable to me

Aren't you guys concerned at all about the possibility of us having above average latencies in the NA servers? Or has this issue been addressed in the pass?

Personally I would move to NA too based on the asumption that NA players are simply better than SEA player, of course, I might be wrong. There's also a huge possibility of SEA being underpopulated due to a mass migration
That wouldn't be really nice

During the beta it was okay. Do not foresee any latency issues.

Besides, if the rumors were to be true, it seems that IAH merely maintains the Login/Profile & Achievement/A.I servers.

During the initial start of the beta yes, but towards the end of the beta, the connections were decent and stable. Yes there were the random disconnects when TM was PMSing, but majority of the time it was ok.

Added on September 22, 2010, 10:46 amI played beta before, it seems that at times IAH server connection seems worse then beta servers

beta phase 2 was really good imho...
better than current SEA lol...

Since we're in the topic of disconnections, is it just me or does the SEA server have very shitty stability? 10% of my ladder losses are caused by random disconnections from battlenet, or maybe it's the fact that I'm using wireless =O

in my case its just "u have been dropped"...
nvr happen on my 1v1 ladders (i only had 35 games on it anyways lol) but happen on my 3s and 4s at times...
other than that? its smooth...
so jz minor dc moments for me, no jerking etc...

in the end depends on the ip...
i always sc2 wit 124 ip over 115...
115 is spiky...

well depends on the routing rather than the location in terms of spikiness...
if u get routed to heavily congested path then its still gg 

ps: i gonna suicide my way to bronze in US and roll nubs lol

Then plat/diamond SEA players can go rage also when suddenly they lost to bronze NA players in placement match

well i dun have the spikes u mention when i am on 124 ip...
rarely DC (do happens at times)...
so my experience was so far pretty ok...

I'm in the same shoes as you.
Same starting ip address as well.

Have tested with both and it does seem that the 124 ip gives us the best route to the singapore IAH server.
115 can be really bad until even after logging in, nothing is showing up. 

I have never been able to download any maps with my streamyx line.
Always have to plug in my maxis broadband to download any custom maps.

Yea. Stick with 124.
Yours does sound like PJ Subang area I think.

I'm pretty sad that those ip ranges was initially available for my area in desa petaling, which helps when you play WoW.
Ever since it got changed to 115.135 and 124.18, I had to always use tunnels to play WoW, though I have already quit that game now.
Just not sure why your ip range is terrible for Singapore. Probably routed you all the way to Taiwan and then back to Singapore.

Try a tracert to sea.battle.net and see what ip addresses you route to. That might give you an idea why is it so slow to connect to singapore.

not adding much.. except  for recettear

Damn....even kepong selayang area get that too?
My friend living near SJMC is getting that range too.
Why my area has to suffer with the weird new ip ranges....
I was getting 118.100 and 60.** ranges before this...

Yea. It is not stable for gaming, but its awesome for downloading things.
Even streaming is great. Great for watching the day[9] dailies.
If only my line is not capped at 1.5gb. 

lol i was having this issue yesterday (i think SEA server over crowded)...
i swap to US server download maps over there for 1v1 then cross to SEA back and the maps are linked...

Thanks.

But no, I'm not diamond league material. Not to mention I was using Zherk the whole way, which means I tend to suck more than not.

If that's the case then I would assume there is still a possibility of getting demoted back to Platinum is you lose too much in Diamond?

I don't understand this mentality at all. The entire point of buying the game is to ... dun dun ... PLAY the game. And the entire point of ladder is (in theory anyway) that you'll get to play the game with people roughly around your skill level.

So if your skill level is gold, but you kiasu want to stay in diamond for bragging rights, and end up ... NOT PLAYING the game ... wadafark??

Too many people are actually worrying about their WLR, league placement etc.. Which I do too..

I got myself into Bronze on NA.
Some stress relief is always good after playing at SEA.
Hope NA people don't mind...
