I'm going to start downloading the game client, and before I pick up any server I want to know if there's a list of each server available so I can run CMD on Windows and and choose the one with less ping.

Thank you!

Good luck. Server load varies so wildly ping won't really be a great indicator. – DavidYell Dec 10 '12 at 9:11
The WvWvW rankings list all the servers, but a lower ping isn't necessary going to give you the best experience (i.e. lower server pop means less people around to do events, dungeons, etc) – Gwen Dec 10 '12 at 9:23
Just fyi, I'm on Blacktide, which is a highly populated server and have very rarely had any trouble with latency – Alex Dec 10 '12 at 9:30
@Gwen that list doesn't have pingable addresses. It's more important how near the server to my location is. I don't mind if it's populated or not. – Gabriel Meono Dec 10 '12 at 9:40

All servers are hosted in the same place, so again, it's kinda irrelevant. – DavidYell Dec 10 '12 at 14:05

Compilation of Comments:

. Here is a List of All Servers - Posted by : @Gwen

. All servers are hosted in the same area, there's no "Geografic Factor" in this case that might affect your Ping - @DavidYell

. PvP Areas are hosted in different hosts than the worlds are, so your PvE/Questing Ping may be different than the sPVP/WvW one - @MarcelloLins

Extra Information:

Here is a Good Article that has some useful CMD Commands to determine server ping and latency time.

Once you find the IP's in use, you might want to Traceroute the way to the server in order to be able to check how many "stops" is your conection doing from point to point (Your pc - > Their Server)

You might also try your "Resource Monitor":

Go in game. Play.
Press ALT + TAB
Press WIN + R.

Enter resmon
You can see the ressource monitor. Go to the network tab, you can see GW2.exe in TCP connections. At the right of it, you have "latency". It's your latency ;p You can get the ip from ure server too.

I Hope it helps
