hops to get to CF?!

I have 18. I don't really understand it, but is it...who has less hops, faster gets to CF??
I don't understand and I'm too lazy to read all of the posts on these 3 pages so...some1 enlighten me!
 
17 but why is it so.......gamemaster and i are in europe and americans are getting only a few less than us, is that normal
 
seems pretty normal. after all thats what just happens.

its probably cos you just have like a jump across to america

they have to go all round through servers and stuff maybe...

but i have no idea what im talking about
 
thats what it does to me when i ping an ip that doesnt exist.

you sure you typed the address right? ;)

do we have to... seems a bit pointless to me, no?

not quite, you would also need to look at and total up the average of the three requests to each server at each hop, someone may have only 15 hops but for some reason have massively high response times from the servers, another person with say 30 hops may get ridiculously low response times.

In short, this proves nothing and is not meant to be a gauge of speed, its simply a tool to show you where your packet requests are going on their way to a host. Hence the name of it.... tracert = trace route
 
I think it's just not easy to predict. I don't think it's somehow related to how far are you from server. The maximum is 30 hops. No1 had like 23, it was always 16,17,18,20 and 30.
Yes btw it's Chicago, but it's close to Canada so...lol
Oh interesting: Here are some notes this may help us investigate:
On 3rd hop it connects to one IP address 195.29.240.931, from my IP.
On 5th hop from my IP it connects to my T-com ( my ISP ),then connects to an IP, and next says Vienna. Next hop is connection t Frankfurt. Over to Paris, across the sea to Washington, then finally Chicago.
My conclusion is, depending on where you live, there are few connection points we have to connect to, to get to Chicago main server. I'd be glad to see Star War's screenshot or at least see where did he connect to.
