Depends on your ISP. The ping to TheAbyss.ru (or any server) doesn't really matter though, the ping to your opponent / allys is more important. Ping to server only starts to be crucial, if it really doesn't work out, e.g. if the join button is greyed out and it takes you ages to join one channel or the other. However, in my experience, greyed out stuff and severe lags are caused either by the server being generally overloaded/dying (e.g. if one of the ingenious AH updates were only done for DotA) or if the own connection is shit (6112 is blocked / Firewall or AntiVirus acting up/ISP issues).

Also wb OP. If you want to attract more players, I suggest carry this message onwards to other platforms. I guess TL people still know where to play BW, or at least now where to look up the info if they feel like it.

I been thinking of getting back to playing BW after centuries of not even touching it, so, it was really nice to see this blog. Good to see other long time BW fans are starting to play it again and get that old competitive feeling back. Good luck on your games, pwn some noobs in iccup

I get unhealthy compulsions to start mass gaming. I'll play a couple games and then realize I need to play so much to improve/play better and have better mechanics. for me I can't really just play a couple games for fun with a game like broodwar.

I get the same way LF. I'm holding off until Birdie gets the new server up. Then I'm doomed.
