My case is kind of special, because even though I am on Balmung, I don't really do tavern RP, and attend like 1% of the RP events that are scheduled on the calendar.
I RP on a main basis in RP sessions with my linkshell, meaning we schedule specific slots of times and days in the week to meet and RP whatever we want to RP, be it in /l or in /s, we always stick together.
Thankfully enough, even though there's only two EU players in my LS including myself, we're a close enough group, so we care for each other's time restrictions, and our scheduled RP sessions are almost always during hours that meet both NA and EU's ideal hours, not too late for the EU, and not too early for the NA RPers.
For example our standard RP time is in the noon EST, which coincides with 6:00 PM my time.
Unfortunately though, this is something that can be easily arranged only in a small group with few different timezones. A whole server is much more different to make ends meet, as there are timezones from all over the world involved.

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
