About Proxy servers, you will see many different servers named x50 VIP-1, EN-1, RU-1 , its all 1 server but different proxies, if you choose any and log ingame , you can use command .ping to test your connection speed, if it's too high , try using different proxy server, to lower it. It's made cause we have players from different countries, each contry has different connection speed ( it depends on distance from main server location)
