New (correctly) hitfixed matchservers

[RandumKiwi]

Although I'm getting about 30ms from the UK too which I deem perfectly playable.

Your typical user will need to negotiate his own routes to the Hurricane Electric network first, which is probably why Lucas' ping is 90ms.

The following pings are from routers on the Hurricane Electric network (the same routers that provide your backbone and thus, have no other routers to negotiate).

Paris 1: core1.par1.he.net to 31.220.5.44 is 36ms
Paris 2: core1.par2.he.net to 31.220.5.44 is 38ms
London: core1.lon1.he.net to 31.220.5.44 is 48ms

So based on the above, I find it hard to believe that you would ping better to London, than Paris. Keep in mind, that "about 30ms" you stated for UK, is probably before your data leaves the Hurricane Electric network.

You can test yourself via http://lg.he.net/

Again, a good addition for our Eastern Europe comrades. If the players on your servers are central europe though, they would likely be better off with a Frankfurt server (look at how many routes go through that city from that map earlier). Paris and Amsterdam would be good too of course.
