Maybe what I'll say will help you a bit, Clover. I'm coming from Odin as both Odin and Moogle were tagged as possible RP and as many 4chan were heading to Moogle and I wanted to avoid the trolls, I picked Odin.
What I can tell you is that there were no.event.at.all. I managed to meet my first other RPer after like.. 1 month ? So I chose to move to Balmung when there were the 3 days free and I have no regrets.
I admit that there really few events EU friendly and maybe people should begin earlier their events (such as balls etc.) to allow to EU to join to the dance as well.
I admit that for end game, we have to move our butt ourselves to make it working as many people are playing NA.
But there are other advantages that NA players don't have such as : Spiritbound, hunts, easy farm on Fleece / Apkallu eggs, etc. As they are sleeping when we are doing those things, it's pretty comfortable.
There are less EU players than NA so we can meet the same people often. Which of course have 2 sides as you can like them or dislike them.
As said Nebbs before me, he began a LS related to RP to help people to keep in touch and have new RP contact. It would be nice if people would try to pick people there when they will run some plots. On my case and I'm sure for Nebbs as well, we'll try to run things EU friendly because YES people in Balmung aren't all NA.
We are also running the Poke in the eye night because.. Because it's not because we are EU that we cannot poke things in the eye after all, we should help each others more as we are less and, I'm sure, some are as hopeless and as sad as you are Clover and there is no reason at all : We are as capable as NA, we just lack of organisation.
Like you, I dislike Tavern RP but while I was trying to get more people on the plots related to Ilwe I found that most of people just want to follow the flow and not imply themselves. As I'm preparing the 3rd chapter I'll make another attempt to get a few people in. I say few as my plots are long (Both chapter 1 and chapter 2 lasted 4 months.. Each.. With RP everyday) and the more you are, the more chances you have to have people who cannot come etc. I'm thinking about how I can make this work atm especialy as there are so many things that happened in 8 months.. But I'll find a way, I'm sure
. (Of course it will be EU friendly hours !)
I can't say much more, just keep courage, we'll all find a way to make it work, there are a lot of EU RPer on Balmung, just lack of organisation I might say ♥ !
