Just managed to win a SCII Beta key, and I was wondering a few things.

1) Will the infamuos 'NZ Lag' own me hardcore, or is it reasonably fine to play on it?

2) Which server would be the best to play on, given location?

he means new zealand.

i'm assuming you're just dodging asia, lol. play on US if you want a less competitive scene, or EU if you think you're more pro.

well, i'm assuming it, from what i've seen of EU play compared to US play. also b/c US has a higher percent of snobby little kids and WoW players.

maybe i'm completely wrong, i'm not too sure. but it sounds better than "well, idk, maybe you could play on us, cuz they're kinda good, but eu is too i guess"

The main difference I've heard about European Servers, vs US servers, is everyone cheeses on Europe. I haven't heard about if one is better than the other skill-wise, though.

Cheers for all the posts/advice. I'm apparently in the U.S. servers, so look out for a player named Speedbump.

Lag is pretty bad cos we are mostly on US server (no Australasian server T_T).
About as bad as with SC1 so still playable but quite annoying.

It's been pretty much the same since Starcraft skill-wise. Asia>Europe>US (I don't know the difference between East and West). In Warcraft 3 the general consensus was the same. Kalimdor>Northrend>Azeroth=Lordaeron. So don't be suprised we're all a little biased. It's just the scenes were much more competitive and bigger.

As to the OP: Dunno , sorry! xD

I actually haven't noticed any difference while playing with battle ping on, maybe I should turn it off and see if it's laggy now (I've been playing with it on for a while now, maybe I'll see the difference). The lag isn't so bad (without battleping), sometimes the commands are delayed though and that gets annoying, especially in a battle.
