Ping over 300 doesn't sound good, I usually have 80-100, with the occasional spikes and disconnects. Still feels rather laggy at times, maybe it's more an hardware issue, Idk. I tried the NA server once and stopped after a few minutes because I was annoyed by the latency, but I think it was just 200-300. You are more patient than I am.

I wish I could post on the ESO forums as well, but I don't have an invitation code. I'm pretty sure I didn't get one when I started playing during a free trial, nor when I bought the game. But even if I've accidentally deleted the email I don't have the invitation in either case. So I filed a ticket as described on the customers' service site requesting a new invitation. Today I got an email from them, telling me I should do all the steps that I already did, which led to said email in the first place.

Maybe it's just some automated nonsense and I'll get the invitation in another email, but why do they make posting in their forums so complicated, can't they just allow everyone with a valid account?

*Okay, the antisocial one might be me. I play solo as much as possible, though I have developed a strange taste for hardmode vet dungeons with PuGs recently. The things you get to see there are certainly... unique, in it's best and worst sense.

I didn't know you had to have special permission to post on their forums 0.0 Whaaaaaaat? Where's this invitational code people are supposed to get xD 

Apparently around 300 is normal...ish for Australians hooking up through the NA server. A couple of years ago (?) Zenimax signed up to a DDOS screening service (Akamai) which reroutes our link through Japan, Asia, Mars, Mercury, the Andromeda Galaxy, back to America which added about 60ms onto our latency, which boosted it from 200-300 to 300-400 ... much to everyone's angst. I can live with it though.

I didn't try the EU server though 0.0

*Sigh* computer's getting upgraded and overhauled, so I have no games to play for a week or two *puffs cheeks*. What did we do in the old days without computers. I dunno. Books I guess

Do they even send those codes nowadays? don't think I ever got it anywhere but my first account... Anyways, i'd say it's best not to go looking for a code but to put a support ticket through and go through the hoops and loops. Can't remember now but I might have actually even logged an ingame ticket lol rather than the website, I had my invite but it well and truly expired by the time I decided to register

Oh and don't waste your time with the EU shard bud that will only push your baseline latency higher ...By about 100+ ms from the last time I checked back in Sept-Oct last year. That's when this akamai nonsence  came to be btw. You can kinda gauge for yourself how much zenimax cares for that issue and for us, apac players, complaining simply from the level of their intereaction and level of response in those threads. I've resigned to the fact that this is how it's going to be. Running the 300+ latency means I don't even bother anymore with a chunk of content, anything competitive or requiring cooperarion really, with the handicap like this. It kinda helps that i'm quite casual when it comes to playing ESO so there's still quite a bit for me find some fun where I can but admittedly my gamin hours are goind elsewhere and i'm losing interest altogether and the shitty connectivity being one of the main reasons for that
