Hey there,

For cataclysm, My friends and I are looking to transfer our alliance to skilled-alliance pvp servers (where the battlegroups top 3v3 teams come from) and have narrowed our choices down to these alliance juggernaut servers:

Kel'Thuzad - (New York Datacenter) -
Korgath - (Los Angles Data Center) -
Sargeras - (Chicago Datacenter) -
Laughing Skull - (Chicago Datacenter) -

I want to find out which ones have the best ping, for instance, I tried pinging kelthuzad's IP and I was getting a timeout. I want to see the best response time for those battlegroups...

Can anyone help me do so?

Unfortunately, Linzz, that is the best answer available, truly. Your connection depends greatly on now only where you are connecting from but also how you are connecting. Different ISP's take different paths to a location, some of those paths can be shorter and smoother than others.

The best way to determine if a realm is right for you is to check it out during prime times and see how it plays, go to high population areas, etc. . . .
