Speed Test

Not anyone from anywhere in the world can realistically connect to this server. You need to be geographically close enough so that the speed (latency) is fast.

A latency of 150ms or under is ideal. The latency is the time in milliseconds (ms) it takes for the network traffic to get from you, to the server. When the latency is too high, the game will feel choppy, as the traffic delays are too long.

You can check your latency (look for "ms") using this Speed Test

Here's an example output, where the latency was nice and low:

Note: You could also try to "ping" the server autis.toque.im. The "ping" command also shows this latency in ms.
