Could we also drop the [US]/[UK] tag?
I know it might sounds stupid, but to new players choosing a server they'll do what they've done in every other game: choose the highest pop/lowest ping server in their country. It's just automatic video game logic.
------
As for ping, well, that's just an measure of the intercommunication speed between client and server. The server itself can be choking on something and give everyone slower speeds. On average, a low ping probably just means you can react faster than your average 2dspessman. Well, I noticed a marked increase of robustability on my own account.
If it comes between lower ping and lower server grinding (byond being single threaded-yeeey), I'll gladly be less robust.
