How come my ping to most online games is good (30-120ms) but my ping to Roblox is higher? (250-400)
I need answers. Roblox is one of the only games I have high ping on.

Play on your own region or they have bad servers

If you ping a server very far from you and/or with a bad/oversaturated internet connection the response is going to be more delayed than other servers.

Yeah, it's all a matter of how much they want to invest in their server infrastructure. If they just run one server somewhere, chances are it's bad for most people. If they can afford putting up well connected servers all over the world, things will be much better.

Servers are not connected together in a long string - they're cross connected, literally a network.

So, in games it does indeed depend on how much the devs/publishers invest in this. If they've got good servers that aren't congested and aren't connected through a long line of other servers, you can get good ping and good performance.

However, if they're cheapening out on server costs, you can find even close servers can behave badly if they're routed through tons of others to get there.

Your best bet is research beforehand, sadly. There's no other way to find out.
