Currently NTT misroutes traffic to our online game. We're having trouble persuading them to change their route.

Please email your support or contact them and complain that playing games on their network is slow.

If you have the ability, please also send them a tracert and a ping to our server addresses at 192.99.109.192 and 192.99.40.103.

More technically, the details are this:

NTT chooses to use our Seabone peer to get to our datacenter rather than the other peer, Level3. The problem is transiting to Seabone means going to Singapore first, then Miami, rather than straight across the pacific.

This adds more than 50+ ms to the trip.

Please forward this to your friends using NTT as well so they are aware of the issues.

And if anyone in Japan *doesn't* use NTT, I'd love to see your ping speed to our server. I expect NTT would also be interested to see if their competitors perform better.

Jawa, would you mind making a complaint to OCN? Especially considering the speeds Kageru gets with J:COM?

Hello, semi-related question here. I play from the Philippines and I usually get 250-300 ping and I can play with that. Some days however, I get 400+ to 900+ ping. Today is one of those days. However, i did a ping and tracert of the two ip addresses above.

ping and tracert for 192.99.109.192: http://img.photobuck...zps60fe370c.png

ping and tracert for 192.99.40.103: http://img.photobuck...zpsfe85c02f.png

What's weird is that it shows my regular range of ping rather than the unplayable 400+. Any idea why this happens?

Thank you for finally looking into this issue. I'm on NTT in Japan and have been having latency issues since the November 2013 patch. The game is unplayable for me unless I play behind a vpn. Getting NTT to change may be difficult - everything is so rigid here.

I inquired of OCN this problem.
But OCN is saying a problem of setting of PGI's ISP.
I don't know whether it's true.

I don't live in japan but had a similar problem playing from Australia. I tested several sites in Montreal Canada to see if there was any difference depending on the sites ISP in Canada. Hope it gives you some ideas and helps you gather evidence.

I am through NTT Japan.

I have already contacted them before. Actually, before contacting PGI about the issue. They politely brushed me off.

:"Sore wa muzukashii desu ne~!"
Translators note: This means "We're not lifting a damned finger"

I already sent a message to you guys about this. I suggested a staff member who could speak Japanese... possibly one of the higher ranking ones, could speak to them, as that seems to be the only way to get anyone to help you in this country.

In fact, though I couldn't make out half of the sonkeigo/technobabble they were telling me at 300 words per minute, NTT East told me that it was something on PGI's end that needed to be fixed.
