49. What server do you advise me to use?

Try to choose a server that is close to you. As a rule of thumb, servers that are close geographically are also close network-wise (which is what matters) but this rule of thumb is not always true. If in doubt ask some people from the same neighbourhood what servers they use. The larger the distance to the server the larger the chance it refuses you or gives you only restricted access.
