Hello!

I've been playing the European version of the game Cabal online for a few years. Anyone who's playing the game knows that the old company that was running the game was replaced by ESTsoft and since they moved the server back to EU I have massive latency issues.
I did traceroute and found that my ISP is probably not a good choice to play this game with a normal ping, but I have no option to change that.
So I started using WTFast, a VPN service that was working like a charm, got my ping of 200ms+ down to how much it should be, 44-45ms. But now that the free trial is over I kinda feel like how the hell could I have played this game for months with such a high latency before i got WTFast? It's just almost unplayable now to me, and i'm not going to pay for WTFast to play a free game through it...

So my question is, has anyone tried any decent (and possibly free) software like WTFast to play Cabal? If so, which one is it?

I tried using Cyberghost and SecurityKiss, which people mentioned they would work for free but the problem is i can't seem to be able to log into the game with either of those. No idea why.

Thanks for your answer! :)
 
Well, first of all sorry for the late reply...
I think you're right about a VPN causing even higher ping. But with this game it's probably a lot different. I've been asking around people who play the game and are from the same city as me, and it turns out everyone with the same ISP have similar latency. Those who are using some less popular ISPs have flawless ping to the server.

I tried to do tracert/ping to the server while using VPN applications that had free trials and in all cases my ping was considerably lower. When doing it only with my regular internet connection, in the tracert only the last entry (the actual game server) had high ping, all the others had perfectly normal. So it seems that this is some kind of problem, or restriction, blocking etc... on my ISP's IP addresses.

I wonder... have you ever heard of anything like that? Is there anything I can do about it? (The support is not likely to give a.... damn about anything like that)
