You say WTFast does not support Spiral knights? Well you made a mistake just saying it does not. It told me the server location for SK is in Ireland, also its data base has alot of games listed. I just type in and it finds the game.
I picked the closest servers to Ireland, and that is in Germany.
They also say on their help forums how to get the best connection. Pick the closest one to the server you wish to connect too, in this case the server i wanted was in Ireland, it does however have a defect.
If i choose to connect to Ireland server, and i am routed to Germany. I will have a worst connection IF i switch straight to the Ash Burn server.
Ping reaches about 500 when i do such.
My ping tests i did, were the closest location's to Ireland i could get. Give or take some distance. Why complain? It tells you not to just test a single server. Try multiple servers.
My Jitter has to be bellow 10, and on 2 of 3 tests, the Jitter was 1ms, either a glitch or true value.
If the servers are overloading, then why don't try try and fix this, and prevent it happening?
OH wait... Because this game is almost over, and soon no one will play anymore... Perfect time to pack the servers up and no returns, unless they take it down to rebuild it from the bottom up!
Also that information with the 3 secs and 22ms was to give a bit of a idea of how SK can possibly gather the information to make lag less of a problem.
MY best example i can give is:
****************************
(Client) A Packet sent time is 00:01.31
(Server) A Packet received time is 00:02.12
Packet that is 1.31 was sent that much after it received a packet from the server.
The server received the packet 2.12 second's after sending it to the clients computer.

Also Zaffy-Laffy, a personal message i want you to know:
1: I get negative impressions from what your saying to me. Its quite obvious you are not a teacher, because all teachers that read my stuff understand it well, also asking what i meant when i said things.
2: You do not have to personally put me in the dirt. I have enough jerks doing that already. Especially since just about every player i met in SK now wants to use me because they are lazy. Milleretta says she sucks at the game, yet she has done a Shadow lair all the way to the end. And when she joins me, she dies as quick as she can join.
3: If you do not like my grammar, that's your personal problem. I am reporting Technical difficulty with a light suggestion on the side. And i wont redirect my suggestion because it only supports my problem, and it might (Not that it will) help to make connections better in future.
4: I Realize i have not answered you complete and direct, but i got school in the morning. If you still do not understand me, i will ask my teachers to help me write something that you can understand. But if you can not understand their grammar, then don't get your head twisted in this and question literature that is not mine.
5: Just to make this the final thing i gotta say. Don't be negative towards me. The text is going in the order of who sent what. I know your going to read this and get a negative idea towards yourself because of what i said in response to you. Its 1:17 AM, im tired, but also i wanted to respond back to you for your questions. Also note that i have no idea how to freaken use commands. Their is no Advanced view of anything. And if i could send images of what i get on WTFast program i would send you. But i can not just simply paste a image here. IT has to be supplied by a 3rd party.
That should cover enough for now.
My literature skills are bad i know. And my profession is not sending messages, nor do i have alot of experience in these forums.
But when i do post in other forums i have had less negative responses then what i get hear, unless you count out GSC World, which i got 50 50.
Also to anyone who has a problem with what ever i write. IF you got such a problem with it, report it to GM, Moderators and Officials.
Im almost certain they wont just close it because its bugging you.
But know this, i am hating the lag that comes and goes. It gets worst and worst and then comes good for a little while.
If it CAN be fixed, i will be happy. Now excuse me, i need to go sleep. I wish i could write more, but then i will just bore you and you will not hear me. Right now you prob already walked away cause my text is always like that.
Anyway thanks for trying to understand.
And know that my frustration is show in my words.
IF you get mad because of this... Well, use that to understand my lag problem. Then maybe you will have some understanding.
Thanks again.
Okay no.1 What the hell is WTFast? I searched it up and got it resulted as some private networking system. I've further searched forums to see the reliability of this application, and they said it was quite reliable. I've also seen their site, and it doesn't really say Spiral Knights is a supported game, so you might want to reconsider using that program. I can believe that this app helps to reduce latency by doing proper routing, but since SK is not supported I don't suppose it knows where to reroute to.
No.2 I do not know where you are ping testing and what you are trying to prove. Why are you ping testing random areas in the UK? If you don't live in the UK then you shouldn't be connecting to the UK.
No.3 That post you referenced proves only the community's experience last year. This is the only substantial proof that the servers are overloaded from the mass influx of clockwork runs made by the players. Yes, server overload is a thing.
No.4 Please reconsider the rest of what you said. I do not wish to see inaccurate information. 3 seconds and 22 milliseconds? I don't suppose you mean 322 milliseconds of ping (322ms = 0.322s, 322cs (centiseconds) = 3 seconds and 220 milliseconds)? Also, long distance connections is not a cause of server overload, it's just purely having to run 1000s' of haven instances/clockwork runs on the servers that causes it.
