Back in the early days of WoW's launch: ~30,000 (on a 5mb cable connection)...10 minutes later the server notified us that the server was going offline.
9999, in call of duty 2, i'm not really sure what was going on, but no one could hit or kill me because i was lagging so bad. unfortunately, i couldn't hit anyone else.

This one guy had 800-1000 ping in TF2 recently. The game was still playable and really didn't have a big effect on me or the other players, he was playing the game fine too :|
2000 on a CS server once because I had a download going from GS, antivirus scan and friends IM'ing me through MSN at the same time.
Also when I played WoW, there was a time when servers were going kahoot, I was hitting 10,000-20,000 for a couple of days straight. It was hilarious trying to PvP because people were pressing buttons and like 10 seconds later, the actions were happening ;P
WoW is going to win this one hands-down. I don't even think other games built a metric to measure ping above 9999. With WoW I've seen over 40k which always ended up with the servers coming down for a while. Sick, sad and infuriating.
[QUOTE="Simsfreak14"]For me it has been 799! Which Cause us some Major Lag in Ghost Recon!blackdreamhunk
what is ping for I have always wanted t know
Its a measure of the time it takes for information to go from your PC to the server and back in Milliseconds. A ping of 1000 means that it takes a full second for that round trip which may not sound very long but even a delay of 200ms can be a noticeable disadvantage in online play. Its especially important and noticeable in FPS's where your reaction time is important and if your aiming where your opponent was .25 seconds ago your chances of hitting are lowered by a fair margin.
