I think i lag mostly coz Malaysia server is kinda far from Europe.
So i've been told that proxy server is better than nothing. The prob is that i don't know myself how to do this. Plz if anyone knows tell the rest of us how we should do it.

first of all if you want to have less lag don't use proxy svs, once it would only increase ur ping..............
if u still wana know how it works reply again and i'll answer

well, im using a proxy server, my ping without a proxy is around 600 - 700ms , with proxy is 40- 100ms, and its really usefull to help with lag problem. here is the post that i found on Wikiperia Forum:

http://pw-forum.onlinewelten.com/yaf_posts...rial-tools.aspx
Here have a tuto pass-by-pass teaching how to dowload and configure the proxy server.
The IP used at the proxy at the screenschots are not working, but i have 2 IP working here, all transparent proxys

The IP's are:

203.10.110.131 Port:8080 Australia,Camberwell DEAD
222.231.8.189 Port:8080 Korea, Seoul DEAD

Ill try to find more servers, if someone need, just ask and i tell the ip.

I hope it works for you Zera and for everyone that needs it too, how it works for me.


PS: sorry about my bad english, but, as everyone knows, english is not my main language :P

I'm sry i'll make it clear.
I suffer of this ping... don't know if ppl in Europe or America r able to have less ping than me.
The whole problem is that when i click a mob the target is ready after 1 or 2 secs and to make the 1st attack needs 1 or 2 secs more... total of 4 or sometimes 5 to be able to start attacking.
When i try to heal ppl in my pt i need those 4 or 5 secs to start heal them... and that 5 secs r mostly vital for the player i try to heal
Someone told me that a proxy server will make things better... i found guides to use proxy... right now i have probs with the router to make it work but i don't bother since i'm not sure if this is gonna reduce ping.

Thank u for replying Delta and Evora... i'll try that u suggested... i have at least 600 ping and sometimes 1500 or more... i think i need to find a server that is close to Greece and between Greece and Malaysia... So ur ips Evora where r they come from?

Evora is at brasil...

IDK... My ping is around 300... But that i know of using proxys usualy increases lag, because instead of a "direct" route you have to go through the proxy...

maybe that proxy goes around the faulty node that causes most of the latency in malaysia...

well evora thats the ping from the proxy to the game sv but u have to sum the ping from u com to the proxy

so proxy doesn't work (or it shouldn't just check u ping to the proxy sv and sum the poing that u see in game that 60 or 80 that evora said, in theory u will have more ping than without the proxy)

to use a proxy u only need to open internet options>connections>Lan defenitions>use proxy then u enter ip and port and its done (in case any1 asking how to use a proxy)

Delta, thats not a IP proxy, its a proxy server...

What it does is provide a different route for information to travel...

Like instead of the link going You->Nodes->PW server, it Goes you-> Nodes->Proxy->Nodes->PW server...

Theoreticaly, this would increase latency due to the longer route...

But in reality, and due to the problems caused by faulty nodes in the PW ISP, it can improve Ping.
IF the proxy provides a low ping to it, and then if the proxy uses a diferent route that bypasses the faulty node, it can have faster ping from there to game server... Improving ping...

I did it.. follow the instructions from the link Evora posted. It worked but i'm not sure about the ping yet... i'll test a few days. I used the Korean IP :) i don't know if it's between Malaysia and Europe... i'll try to put some more ips from Turkey p.e.

ok i come with some more info.

I somehow found out that the "signal" travels from malaysia to United Kingdom before end up in Greece. So i think (without being sure) that Portugal does the same too. So Portugal it's closer to UK than Greece and i think that's why u guys have lower ping rates than me :( .

Anyways i tried to use 2 different programms, ProxyFirewall and ProxyCap. Following the instructions of ProxyFirewall u think that it works but it doesn't. U choose proxy server u load PW and everything seems to work fine except the ping that stays the same :( . I tried to use firefox with Proxyfirewall and put in a high anonimity server just to see if it works but it doesn't work simply because my ip doesn't changes at all. So? U think that it works but it doesn't!

With ProxyCap the game crashes which makes me believe that it works but either the 50 (!!!) proxy servers don't work or PW doesn't support this feature at all.

So i'm desperated... maybe i should w8 for the European Server... or an awesome super-duper-hypercool reply that will save me for sure!

Anyway thank u for trying to help me.

Hummm... You Traced the route to the game, right??

Why don't you try and see where the Node that follows the English Node is...
And get a proxy server from there...

LOL Kane i'm not a hacker or something! I just read some forums :P

Anyway i don't bother figuring out what r the nodes between UK and Greece because the programs don't work anyway. If i get good results with a solution for the programs then i'll wear my spy costume and i will trace it :)
