Hi there, I Just tested Blade & Sould (NA) with both basic and advanced setups, However it seems sadly that it actually increases my ping by around 150-200ms. (giving me around a 400ms ping to the B&S servers instead of the 220-280 I usually get).
In fact If I check the RTT on all the servers and ask which is the best one for me to use as a starting point to connect to the US it actually points me to an NA server instead of routing through a server in Australia (Where I am located). So not sure what’s going wrong there.
I would imagine your Australian servers aren’t routing very well to the US at the moment, that’s just a guess of course.
Kinda sad to see it not work, I like what I see of the service. I guess I will try again later on and see if it’s any different. (I know that AU international routing is pretty screwed up atm for a lot of people).
First let’s simplify this issue. 
Please visit http://ko.loxch.com/userrtt/?uid=115053 link to see your RTT information to each mudfish nodes.
If I read information correctly and you’re using “US Central (Dallas, TX - QudraNet2)” with basic mode, your expected RTT should be around 230 ~ 250 ms. Please check it first and don’t forget to enable FastConnect mode if you’re playing Blade and Soul.
Oh thank you very much for the response! :D
