I personally can't change where the server is, though I can make a request to Stefan that we get moved (it's then up to him if we actually get moved or not).

It's questionable that moving the server will actually have any benefit though. The server population is approximately split 50/50 between America and Europe, so moving it to one or the other is always going to disadvantage half the player base. Whenever the server has moved in the past we've ended up losing a chunk of players (from the side that becomes disadvantaged), so to me it makes sense to move it as little as possible.

Regarding serverside hit detection being back in events, I gave it the go ahead by way of helping to get the code up and running, but I've made it clear to those involved that having 2 separated systems on the server isn't an ideal situation and will hopefully only be a short term solution. I intend to make a more detailed post on the hit detection situation later today.
