Why is the number different

[downtown]

The number in the window is about 1/2 of what I get when I type ping auth.playnet.com, why?

I see green, is there a yellow, and red?

It's only reflecting a 1 way trip of basicly 1/2 of what you would get doing a ping check in cmd. 

Been suggested to change it to a full trip so as not to confuse folks.

The basic on it though is green=good/yellow(orange)=things not perfect, red=trouble and likely autodespawn if it stays red.

Yes I noticed how low my ping was i.e 34

Yet....I still encountered "suddenly" appearing ei...that killed me and lived though I shot them (and got the kill credit).

Still frustrating.

I know it's never going to be perfect....but I have to wonder 

I guess people need to PUT THEIR MONEY DOWN (yes...even more cash) to get Servers and all that stuff set up on the "la la land" west coast !!!

lol.
