If you are hitting pings of about 150-200 and absolutely cannot handle it, and want to get back down to the 100 range, there's a solution. However, it costs $15 for 3 months. The solution is a Proxy-Tunneling program called Your-Freedom. There are two things you will have to install. Remember, if you are running Vista, run all of this as Administrator. I personally use this to connect from college, and Gerard in my guild uses it to connect from home. He is from California, and went from pinging ~190 to 100.

NOTE: YOU DO NOT NEED TO PURCHASE THIS TO TRY IT! Without purchasing it, though, you can only run it for 1 hour concurrently, and 8 hours total a week.

Follow the steps:

#1. Go to this site: http://www.your-freedom.net/ems-dist/ and download version #20090319-01.

#2. Go to this site: http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html and download the 2.1 version of OpenVPN.

#3. Install OpenVPN.

#4. Install the Your-Freedom client.

#5. Open and configure the Your-Freedom client as follows:
Under the PORTS tab:
Check: Socks4/5, Web Proxy, and openVPN, with the following numbers: 1080, 8080, 1194 respectively. Nothing else should be checked.

Go to STATUS and click CONFIGURE. Under Server Connection, you should have the following:
Reconnect after shutdown checked, Socks4/5 checked, Enable Encryiption checked, Enable Re-key checked, Use True SSL with HTTPS checked. Minimum Buffer at 1500. Initial Post at 10000000, Minimum Post at 20000, FTP mode set to both
Server: ems20.your-freedom.de, ems01.your-freedom.de, or ems13.your-freedom.de. Find what is your best.
Port: 53
Connection Mode: UDP

#6. Click connect. You are now proxied and in all likelihood pinging better.


The only drawback about all of this is that it bottlenecks your connection a bit. There's probably a way around that such as tuning the proxy to only work for the UO client, and allowing all of your other programs to connect normally, but I've no idea how to do that.
