I've seen Chinese players here and haven't heard any complaints.

There is/used to be one Chineese player in Zero-K and it seemed that Great Wall of China unaffected him. But I suppose it kinda depends where are you playing from as Great Wall of China is not a singular being. It is basically a huge set of different firewalls and site blockers stacked upon each other and only affects only certain regions of China too.

Yeah lag wise spring engine is very tolerant so shouldnt be a big problem. And I have seen plenty players from China so doubt firewall will do anything.

+Why play Zk in china? Visit some places maybe? :D

So moving in China will make me going places instead of playing zk? It seems to be cool.

I suggest you visit Tibet ( http://freetibet.org/ ) and go to the Tiananmen square ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiananmen_Square_protests_of_1989 ) also.
When you get to China, if your net is slow, just check these links.

Congrats you mentioned Tianamen Square and now ZK will be blocked in China :D

I see Japan and China are still angry at each others.

war (not only ww2) cruelties still unresolved or denied on both sides, mainly by japanese. also, from my own experience, stuborness and false pride. errors are repeated and not learned from.

Last time it was pretty much unplayable, I was on a random WiFi+PPPoE link and got a ping of > 1s most of the time. Microing is impossible. You can eco at home and hope...

Chinese player here, can't download Zero-K from the lobby, but can download it from zk.repo.springrts.com/builds/.
It seems this is only regional, probably caused by the GFW.
