Black Lion Trading Post..auction house for GW2

Only BLTC is stabilized, not whole server. BLTC was hosted on other mini website that mainly do the trading jobs, after the recent update, I noticed when I'm using proxifier there's a connection to cloudfront whenever I open up BLTC, so I guess they opted to cloudfront to handle the load.

Guys, anyone here using 2mb maxis wired internet? I'm thinking of buying but... is it stable?

with NaAion i get around 3xx-4xx is it the same or different?

Proxy or VPN better for MMO's?

Guys, mind sharing what ultima proxy servers are you using?
Tried MY and LA, not good.

Which server in GW2 that you able to reach 250ms?
I'm in Ehmry Bay with Ultima Proxy only able to do 350ms. Without it, it's 400-500ms

I think now is not the right time to test out your latency.
Server is lagging during this time, otherwise I always get 200-220ms

Something happening today?

I'm feeling laggy since morning.

Sales just reach 2 Mil copies last couple days - not surprise a new influx of players coming in the server cause mass lag

after watching this review, i really.. really.. really REALLY want to get the game and try it out

but the only thing stopping me is the latency issue since its in NA

seeing ppl wit ping as high as 400-500, how is the gameplay in that range? please advice >_<

I love angry joe too.
Thing is, you can reduce your latency to acceptable range. (250-350) with the help of proxy. (Some even reported they get 200-250 which is awesome)
It is just RM12.50 a month for ultimaproxy.
I advise you register the game with whole new email address, if you really can't play, you can consider to sell it together with email.
Some buyers feel safer.

I'd like to share this with everyone, I mean, how to get better latency to Guild Wars 2

First, get a cheap vps (from RM8~RM20) which can be shared among friends or split pay, up to you. I personally using
https://www.bluevm.com/ as you can see there's lots of cheap package, I recommend to get BlueVM1 or BlueVM2 for just Guild Wars 2 usage, and make sure pick California for VPS location since it's the best location for us to connect from Malaysia.
If you'd like to pick other hosting,you can find cheapest vps @ http://www.lowendbox.com/ and do ping test to their VPSes IP before buying one, wrong location gives you 300ms to the VPS which 330~350ms to GW2 server in total, while correct location gives you 250ms to GW2 server.

Second, after you've got yourself a VPS, use PuTTy to SSH to your VPS, login info are given when you purchased your VPS. You can get putty from
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
put in your VPS IP address and yada yada, connect to it, login (default login is root)
After you've connected to your VPS using SSH, now, click the PuTTY top loft, click Settings and then go to this page

Source port : can be anything you want
Please make sure other settings are unchecked and Dynamic & Auto are selected, if you did it correctly, it should appears like in my screenshot, "Forwarded ports : D7070"
and you're done for tunneling setting
(IGNORE THIS IF YOU ARENT INTERESTED FOR WEB PROXY : Fun thing is, you can make it as a web proxy too, just go to internet settings or whatever, Proxy IP : 127.0.0.1 , port <your designated port that you used to setup in source port in tunneling setting>)

Third, finally, now move to Proxifier, download any latest proxifier or just download at ultima website since it's already preconfigured to work with guildwars2.
Just a minor change required in order to proxifier properly functional,

Again, change the port like you've setup in PuTTY.

Alright, now time to test your Guild Wars 2. You should not have any problem if you did all the step correctly, now just simply launch Gw2 executables, you should see something like this in your Proxifier

If so, you've succesfuly connected to the GW2 using your VPS!

This is the ping test to the GW2 servers.

221 + 33 = 254ms to GW2 server (ignore the sudden fluctuation, im sharing internet with 8 people)
Not to mention it's rock stable latency 24hours, unlike our direct connection, morning will get lower latency, at night higher latency
Hope it's useful for you guys who seeking to eliminate such problem.

Looking for easier opt? Subscribe to ultima proxy, they also provides best gaming experience, I'm pretty sure they still giving out 7 days trial for interested users.

How do you even check for latency ?

Simplest way is to check using Resource Monitor, roughly you'll know it, for much more details, you can't use ping, it does not allow you to ping to destination, thus best solution next to it using tracert or pingplotter.

PingTest.net - Server Dallas, Texas - Guild Wars 2

Singapore, works well for me.

Malaysia not much difference, maybe because they use same routing anyway while Singapore ISP may be using different.

I don't know, but somehow SG works well for me

The term latency refers to any of several kinds of delays typically incurred in processing of network data. A so-called low latency network connection is one that generally experiences small delay times, while a high latency connection generally suffers from long delays.

Latency is something hard to predict . Even you and your friends using same ISP . You may get difference latency in Games . etc

This question that got many answer. some work well with Our MY server , Some work well in LA,CA server , etc

The latency you get for is depend to your ISP , YOur location etc

We always recommend to all our cust do a trial before you subscribe to Ultima PRoxy services .

WE still giving out free 7 day unlimited access code . Just pm me for the code . You can still test our proxy without this 7day code . We got master trial account . just a limitation trial account will disconnect very 30min. You can simply reconnect after 30min.

little tips for latency .

we have server in MY , SG , USA , EURO .

FOr games server located in USA . YOu can try MY, SG1, SG2, CA1, CA2, LA

for games server located in CHINA , Taiwan , YOu can try MY , SG2 , SG1

For games server located in EURO. you can try EU , MY , SG1, SG2 .

I am actually a paid member still testing which 1 is the best.

wanted to try out this game..but after reading this post ..is it safe to say that without using vpn or proxy..this game gonna lag?

im using boleh vpn..does that help? or must i change to that ulitma proxy?

it'll work regardless, hell im not using any and my skills are instantaneous. I can tell you there is a lot of different between either Wireless vs Wired and Bandwidth.

I use to use wireless shared with housemate 1mb line. what i do everyday is PvE and predict skills timing 2 seconds after i press. I somehow "mastered" that 0.5 seconds delay or sometimes 1-2 sec delay.

Got my own line last Thursday. This weekend playing like mad. My. Skills. Are. Very. Responsive. skills coming out instantly and things just got hell lot easier.

What changed,

1mb to 10mb - yes it's a big change but 1mb at my hometown works fine too.

Wireless to Wired LAN - Wired always better. nuff said.

Hope you join the ranks soon soldier!
