I tried it a few years or so ago to try out Blade N Soul and it was worthless. I remember back in like 2007 there were a few VPNs that were great, but these days they are more useful as an extra layer of security than anything. They used to improve performance by removing the amount of hops across different networks that was the norm for internet traffic, but these days most networks and carriers already use pretty optimal pathing.

The only thing I've tried the last few years that made any difference was a program called xfast lan that came free with my motherboard. It actually decreased my latency in online games by 30-70ms just by traffic shaping. Basically it lets you set network priorities so that instead of the error reporting, update, Chrome, Windows Media Player etc all having the same priority as the game I was playing they take a back seat to the game's network traffic when it is running.
