Eden Eternal's Server Status!
Well, I made this a while ago, and have been spamming SB and making occasional forum posts about it, so I decided to make a proper thread.
Keep an eye on the servers during Maintenance with the
Server Status Page.

There's also a
Twitter feed for instant updates when server status changes (also beta).
Is there a standalone app for this?
Not yet! I will be re-releasing this app in the near future!
How do the ping measurements work?
- My server pings Aeria's game servers twice, measures time it takes for each.
- If the first two measurements differ (one says "online", another says "offline"), it pings a third time (tie-breaker). (Offline is determined by 5000ms with no response from the server)
- The ping times (either 2 or 3) are then averaged to provide "Avg. Ping"
Okay, now what do they mean?
80ms - 110ms - NORMAL. The normal low ping is 83ms. Sometimes, my server takes a few ms to run a couple other processes, so 110ms isn't uncommon. There means there's no issue.
150ms - 900ms - LAG ISSUES. No packets are being dropped, but there is significant delay, which could cause visible lag in-game.
1500ms - 5000ms - SEVERE LAG / PACKET LOSS / OFFLINE. 5000ms is the limit, and offline servers will read 5000ms. If 1 packet is lost of 3 that are sent, the average ping will be 1600+ (5000+80+80)/3 (with room for calculation / measurement errors). If only 1 server has this reading, it's likely an error. If multiple servers have this reading, there's likely a network issue between the servers.
