Ping is your latency (time delay) between you computer and the server. If you have a ping of 200 this means that it takes 200 millisecond (0.2 seconds) for information to be passed between your computer and the server. For reference, the average human reaction time is about 200ms (source). Lower ping the better. :wink:

ok, well thats cool, so how do i get into servers with low ping? i tried to get into one not that long ago, as a in a day or so ago, and it wouldn't load because it was for low ping servers only. ??? I think it was greengasradio, but i might be mixed up. any advice?

Connect to servers close to where you live. If you are in the USA, connect to RAWHIDE, Paladin, or G4J. I do not recommend GreenGasRadio as the server has cheats installed.

oh ok. I'm already trying not to play too much, I have other responsibilities and cant let games get in the way. My pastor's son suggested the game to me and talked about how fun it was. I'll have to try and get with them maybe and try to start a clan or some fantasy far out there thing like that.
I just like to play with real thinking live opponents.

anyway, thanks again for the great internet hospitality, its not like this everywhere you go, there's alot of nasty mean people out there. :roll:
