Depends on game type. Ping less than 100 ms should be playable for all types of games, but for games where fast reactions are needed players with lower ping may have an advantage. On the other hand, if all players have similar high ping the play is at least even. For playing shoot-them-ups low ping is an advantage, unless the game engine evens game for high ping players. Flight simulators are not so demanding, since planes follow laws of physics and can not suddenly change speed or direction. Car driving games are somewhere in betveen. For games like Chess or similar, where players may use tens of seconds or minutes to ponder the next move high pings are not an issue.

What is ping on RuneScape?

Answering your question as fully as possible, Ping measures how well your connection is with the host, the higher the badder since this will produce lag in your game, the lower the better since the host is close by providing a smoother gameplay.Full detailHaving a low ping is always desirable because lower latency provides smoother gameplay by allowing faster updates of game data.Ping is often conflated with lag. One may "lag out" due to unacceptably high ping. Servers will often disconnect a client if the ping is too high and it poses a detriment to others' gameplay. Similarly, client software will often mandate disconnection if the ping is too high. A high ping is not the result of lag; rather, a high ping causes lag.
