Is there any sort of "dummy" message it needs to respond to ? – cnicutar Feb 10 '13 at 10:40

I don't know, what you mean. – Jan Červenka Feb 10 '13 at 10:42

Well, the server needs to answer to some sort of message in order to measure latency. Is there any such message ? – cnicutar Feb 10 '13 at 10:44

I doubt that, just thru the game-client I guess, then it has to respond to many actions – Jan Červenka Feb 10 '13 at 10:45

Use a ping based on TCP.
If you have access to a Windows box, use http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/jj729731.aspx
Download the zip, unpack. From CMD prompt cd to unpacked folder, then run with -t flag like this:
psping.exe -t www.anywebsite.com:80
Please note: this assumes you have a web site running on remote host (port 80 in example above)
