Lag will depend on what type of connection you have and how far you are from the server you are connecting to.

You can set your filters to show only servers with low pings. Also set it for only dedicated servers. That should weed out the laggy servers, unless you're on dial-up, then everything will probably lag.

A game that you host, that you have created, is a server where others come to play. Since you created the server, all the players connected send their information to your server, meaning no latency for you except the other players. If you don't know what latency is, use Wikipedia for God's sake.

The HMC servers (the ones my clan uses...check the links below), MAW and TUI servers would be good places to start.

If you start the game, your computer is the host computer, and you get zero ping. If you don't have a good high-speed connection, the other players will tend to lag. You will kill oponents quite easily– though experienced players can compensate for lag and kill you, too.

I stopped hosting on my home computer because it was too easy to beat other people, both because of the lag advantage and it seems the better players stick to dedicated servers. If you want a more level playing field, join dedicated servers with low pings.

In high definition baby!

Set your page from the lowest ping at the top to highest ping at the bottom. There should be many good servers over there.

If you want to get good, play in the servers that have www.KNFr.net in their name.

His word
Their word
Word of God
THE word
wooooord
Who knows.
OOOO Master Kim over here over here. What's latency, tell me tell me pleeeeease.

(Anyone who takes that serious up there (/\) is going to be my new rag target for the next week.)

And as for good servers, just click the word ping, as was mentioned earlier in the servers list. Shows servers in order from least to greatest or vice versa.
