Ping is the delay when communicating with the server. A high ping means that there is a long delay. Due to the way that MTA works, having a high ping will cause you to "warp" from one place to another on other people's screens because your position will be updated less frequently. This makes you difficult to kill and has caused some admins to implement high ping kicking scripts (these are not built into MTA by default).

Ways to improve your ping:

* Close all other applications to prevent them from hogging your internet connection or taking up CPU cycles

* If you have a slow PC, your ping may reduce with an upgrade

* Getting a faster internet connection

* Only playing on small servers or servers that are in your country

Edit: Or just playing on servers that don't have a high ping kicking script.

When I had IDSN I only could play on dutch servers with less than 10 players. Good I got ADSL now...
