I won't be able to make it on monday unfortunately.. at least not that early (personal business, the timeslot as such is fine!). I'd go with AS's server as well, i get fairly good pings from germany. While the lag isn't very noticeable, playing on US servers tends to delay rpg fire and such..
maybe we should find a server somewhere in iceland or greenland or so?
Aaaanyway: Great to see this happening. Will spread the date and time.
