Hi Thok, welcome to the game and forum!...Hope to see you out there some time!...

As far as I know all Servers currently up and running are very similar and stable, I have tried them all.
You can check before you log on to a Server how many players and who is on which Server by right mouse clicking on the Server. Also you want to choose preferable a Server that is the closest to you for better ping rates!....

You can jump on each one and use the ~ key to check the Ping rate which should be in the upper right corner and may be yellow or if the connection is bad it may be red or not have one. I am in the USA on the west coast and get a reading of about 160 on the three servers that I visit most.

the list of servers also shows their IP addresses so you can use that to check your connection on a test program like Speedtest.com or Speakeasy-speed test.

Oh yea, simple ping works also.

Maybe it would be a nice idea to have this information in your client when you poll the internet servers.
Instead of giving the name of the server and the ip adress, just give the name, number of players and a color (color is the ping time relative from your client)

Host: Servername1 - 25 players
Host: Servername1 - 17 players
Host: Servername1 - 20 players

Green = Good ping
Yellow = Medium ping
Red = Bad..

You get the idea there..
