New (correctly) hitfixed matchservers

[RandumKiwi]

- SSD and gigabit (=fast)
- Stockholm (a nice solid server for Europe)
- Having anticheat gone is itself an asset to some, and no detriment with private servers or good admins

Any half-decent VPS server should be running on SSD/Gigabit these days, so no surprises there (example: Linode uses SSD, with 40Gbps (instead of 1Gbps) + Intel E5 processors (instead of E31220's)). The SSD makes little difference for AC.

Opponents with bad pings can be just as bad as yourself having a bad ping. Additionally, there's the factor of fairness.

So, I would suggest Stockholm isn't a great place for a server (in terms of latency), due to it's distance from submarine cables (this is probably why Lucas' ping was high): http://www.submarinecablemap.com/

I would suggest that UK/France/Germany/Belgium/Netherlands would be expected to be a more likely place to find a good European server, due to a combination of its proximity to international submarine cables + nation's wealth (poorer nations aren't likely to have great options). Note, I haven't tested pings, etc (useless to do so from NZ).

As such, I would expect Stockholm might be good for eastern europe - assuming you were only playing other european opponents. So, on this, it's a good addition to the pool of servers to help our eastern europe comrades :)

Your server runs on the Hurricane Electric network, which I rate very highly.
From as far west of USA (Fremont, LA) while staying on the Hurricane Electric network:

By the way, ping for a comparable West USA (Fremont, LA) to London is:
