Everyone should get their emails within 24 hours, no harm jumping ahead a little and using that download link though.
Hopefully it's not something evil she programmed to blow up our computers if we run it.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

That blog listed the Vabbi server as a EU homeworld. Since that's the server this guild will be on does that mean US players are going to have some sort of connection disadvanatge or other internet related maladies?

Depends, is it EU or UK?
If it's UK the ping difference shouldn't be that bad.

Well, it looks like everyone has gotten their e-mail. I will start downloading after work today and will most likely be done by 12:00am that night (nothing like having 50mb u/15mb d connection). Will be painting my Protectorate of Menoth while this happens. And we are using Skype right? Never used it before but I will also grab that.
I also will not be able to get on until ~5:00pm on Friday (most likely like everyone else, work!) but I assume that is when we will discuss what server we will play on?

I've played online on US server based games, its not really ever been as bad as I was expecting.
Of course this this a new game, but I suspect it will be okay coming the other way.

Add thomas_joynson on skype and Quantech on steam, I'll hook you up with the contacts you need.
I chose Vabbi mostly because Vabbi is an awesome place, the server is based in Germany IIRC so that lag won't be too bad for most people.

Most people... in Europe. German servers suck ass compared to UK servers for those of us across the pond.

Really? It's really not that far from the UK relative to how far the UK is from the US.

Tbh, thats one thing you want to test over the beta. Assuming there are US and EU servers available for us to go on.
Might be worth seeing which side takes the bigger hit for lag etc. As time issues are going to be in play no matter which way we choose to go.
I'm certainly happy to try a couple of alts on a US based server if I am able and see the results.
