    Why is my ping always different depending on the server? On some, it's 33 (even 0 sometimes) and on others it's 133... I've been playing this game for a very long time and ping is still confusing to me...

    you have better (lower ping) if the server is hosted close to you (for example if you are from poland, you will have good ping at servers in germany, mid ping at servers in usa (166-233), and bad ping at servers in australia

    and your ping is higher when a country the server is hosted in is far away from your country.

    what wormy said - ping is a measure of the time taken to get from your computer to the server and back, and of course distance affects ping. For example, if you live in the east of the US, you will always have the lowest ping on an Eastern US server, and the worst ping on a server the most physical distance from your computer.

    and if your ping is 0 you're probably horribly lagging.
    don't always rely on it, it's bugged (if you're not sure ask other players to tell you your ping, it'll be more accurate)

    Hey, how do you search for players and clans on this forum? The UI is really counter intuitive...

    To search for players, click on the members section at the top of the forums. Then enter the player's name on the middle right. For clans, go to the Groups page. Then click on the Clans page. Look for the clan there!

    Well, the search bar only finds posts.

    But cool, icemusher, just one of the little things I was confused by...

    I have a huge problem! All of a sudden, my ping has decided to be extremely high in all servers, including US ones (I'm US). So what the hell?! What do you think happened?

    Happens sometimes. maybe someone in your house is downloading film/game/anything? It will get fixed, don't worry. Maybe in 15 minutes, maybe in 2 hours...

    Ping spikes are almost always related to heavy bandwidth use - someone else in your house or on your connection is downloading or streaming something, and there is not enough bandwidth on your connection left over for your uses. In this case, all you can do is hope that someone else (presumably another family member) will hop off eventually.

    In which section of the forums are you trying to make a thread?
    Can you take a print of the message you get when you try to create a new thread?

    If you mean view threads, yes you can, otherwise it's something on your end cause I just tested your permissions. If you mean create threads, not every section allows people to create threads, specifically announcements and this section
