Let's just give it a try first and see what it's about, worse comes worse, you could always do a UK server, it'll be better than Germany ones anyways.

https://www.exitlag.com/en - EDIT: Warband isn't supported on this RIP, I figured it would be as Bannerlord is.

To actually answer your question, UK is your best bet as there is direct routing and the eastern europeans can actually play on it.

I thought those services were just usually bad VPNs they doesn't really reduce ping that much, if any at all.

Not quite, from what I understand they are setup similarly to how we would setup what we call jumpboxes in IT. Which will replicate and route packets via the most optimal route. It wouldn't be very useful for East Coast players I imagine, but it would be for west coast ones. We use them quite commonly to route customers in SEA to our DC's based in Germany and UK. Although it was very expensive so we don't use them anymore as the customers would need to front the cost. Which obviously wouldnt be the problem for a service like this.

I've known people to get quite good results in CS, I imagine if it works for a game like that I am sure it would work in a game like NW just fine. They give you a trial at least.

UK servers are fine for NA players, we even used to use them running PW servers and NAs preferred them, realistically doing all this for a single GF would be dumb and there’s no other reason to use them, your best bet is a UK server because then it can be used for other shit too

nah, having 70-80 ping compared to 120-130 ping is a lot better.

I don't think there would be any suffering for UK servers, Germans would still get around 30 - 40ping
