I happen to live in Sweden.
The server is mad fast for almost everyone on the east cost, since it's on an OC-48 backbone to AT&T. The west cost people might experience a little more ping, but with a good connection, it should be perfectly fine.

Xenn and Wiccan got around 40 ping when they played me in CTF (2v1) while I got from 400 to some peak times with 850 ping. I still won somehow, since I still have a lot of experience with lag play (I used to play with a 28.8 modem for a long time).

Also, taco, you need to connect to games.zelaron.com:6667 instead of games.zelaron.com now. I just told you because you posted it in the news.
