What's 'ping'?

[ScOrPY]

The amount of time in milliseconds to transfer data between client and server, something like that.

It is amazing how everyone repeats everyone else.

HAHA!! I was just thinking that

Ping Time is affected by 3 things
1. Location(closer the better)
2. Computer speed(Faster the better)
3. ISP(DSL/Cable are the best for your money)

High numbers= bad lag
Medium high numbers=lag
low numbers=no lag

Easy.

Accually if you have ab extremley low ping and everyone else has high one, the lag might be bad. So it also matters on everyone elses ping in the server.

And low numbers do not mean no lag. I highly doubt you are playing the game in real time. Even a ping of 1 would mean it took .001 seconds for the data from the host to arrive to you.
