I have had a couple questions about ms, and lag, so I thought I'd post some info here.
In rakion, there is a peer-to-peer connect, which means you are connecting to all the other people in the room. The main reason why rakion lags so much. MS literally measures the quality of your connection with another user. This is why your own ms doesn't show, because it is different from person to person.
IE:
Person A has 85ms to me. Which means me and him have a fairly good connection. It also means, that I have 85ms to Person A. This is why it is pointless to ask what your ms is =). Now, say I have 305ms to Person B. That means I have a very poor connection to Person B. But that doesn't mean I lag. If you have a good connection to most of the people in the room, but a bad ms to one person, that means it is his connection that is the probelm.
In other games, such as Counterstrike and Battlefield and so-on and so-forth. Peer-to-Peer connection is not used. In those games you are connecting to the server, not the other people in the server. Which is why you can see your own ms, or latency, as its called there.
