Texas wasn't that close to me (I was in Illinois), but the server was hosted within a data center, and had pretty low latency for me anyway.

Also it was very consistently up and low latency compared to other servers, so that's why I kept going there at first. Later on I kept showing up because I got to know people on the server.
