[Aussie Digger]

Probably sounds like a dumb question, but as I have just recently had the pleasure of getting mohaa and have never played a multiplayer game before is it right in saying that for a 56ker i have to get onto a server with a low ping and no more than 10 people playing? Also all the servers seem to be in the states or england....are there any a bit closer to me in australia or doesnt it matter? Also whats the most recent patch that I have to download (if any)...i've no idea!
Cheers.
