So that brings up the question, is your ping useful for predicting the "quality" of your experience when playing on a server? If not, then what would be a better gauge to use?
Well I'm glad to hear it's not just me, but I fell bad for Rocky, but he's right. Two years of solid hosting deserves tolerating a couple weeks of minor probs.
Over the past couple of weeks I've had a few periods where I haven't been able to access gr.net. I'll get 404/web site not found errors. The last period was Sunday (Aug 17) around 8:00 pm central USA time (GMT +6). It lasts for at least a couple of hours and once it lasted for a couple of days. Has anyone else had this problem?
