add a ping limit and remove the fake ping in server browser

[kratostf2]

Im not sure about other regions but throughout the day/night AU is fully stacked, and majority of the time there will be people playing on AU from other regions. I just dont see the point, adding a ping limit to allow people from the region to play on their own servers would be very nice.

Also the fake ping in the server browser to attract people to the servers or whatever the approach is just isnt good. It just makes people join a server way out of their region and most of the time they dont even notice. Which is resulting in the issue above.

Server browser ping is inaccurate because of anycast network ddos protection, it shows the latency of the closest data center to you not the server location. There are region labels in server names and if people will join the server despite reading those then I don't know what more we can do

What about a ping limit, say for example if your ping is 110+ for a few minutes (to avoid people who may get ping spikes) , they get kicked or redirected elsewhere. As many times ive tried to join the AU server and its stacked, once i finally get in theres atleast 5 or so people with super high ping.
