I've been playing around with Tygem, and I rarely see anyone from countries other than China, Japan, and Korea (if the country flags are any indication), regardless of server. I realize Tygem is not as popular in the West, but I guess I thought I'd see a few more players. So what server do you guys hang out on?

Usually China 2, sometimes Korea 2, Getting into China or Korea 1 is usually hard.

But you're right, there aren't a lot of western players on any of them

If you get a Tygem lite account, you can get into Korea 1 anytime you want, regardless of server load.

You can also observe games with more than 300 observers.

but English tygem server is only in beta and those accounts are not offered. In a few months it might come out of beta.

kirby is lucky that his Passion for the game and language coincide so nicely ;)

Could you elaborate a little on what is a Tygem lite account? I assume it uses the Korean client..?

Sometimes the restrictions that come with english accounts are a bit annoying so I'd be interested in this.

I googled this a few days ago and it appears that Tygem plans to roll this out for English clients in the coming months.
