Okay, feel free to join the game server whenever you like. The official matches will start approximately 2 hours after this message was posted (at 8 PM EST).

Server address: 85.228.218.24

(Multiplayer > Open Location)

Make sure to set up your name properly in Options > Player Setup. That is also where you can change teams, should you be unhappy with yours.

Furthermore, press the t button in-game to write messages to other players.

Oh, and if you're afraid to join because you think your IP will be displayed to everyone in the game, they won't. Only the server administrator (me) will be able to see them.
