Remount Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Just wondering why the NA server I've been playing on has a German IP (according to Battlemetrics)? I'm not sure if it really is a German server or not as I'm getting like 40 ping and I live in North Carolina. Is Ark really marking EU servers as NA or is Battlemetrics wrong? Please don't take this as a complaint cause I'm happy with my ping on the server it's more of a curiosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkark Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 If you have good ping, and server its marked as NA it is probably at NA. You can query at IANA or RIPE to verify the IP its where it says it is, because Battlemetrics can be using a 3rd party geoip provider that does not have updated records. If you tell us the server we can check for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campi Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Don't trust the battlemetrics countries. My UK-Hosted server (that is definitely in UK) is listed as german also - but only on battlemetrics. All other sites have it correctly as UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the RIPE site and other various sites instead of just the top google result to get the information from the IP and it came back as showing St louis MO. Again thanks everyone.
