That's why I said if we'd move at all. I like Balmung as well, but I also think that if there are players who want to move, maybe it would be good to either find out which EU server has the biggest RP presence, or if there isn't anyone in particular, maybe agree on one, well in advance so that the information is there for the people making that choice (and so that, if it becomes a scramble, EU-RPers wont have to finish a debate before a deadline or something).
I'm probably going to stay on Balmung, because knowing my internet luck and track record with other MMORPGs, the EU servers probably will be in a location that gives me about the same ping and packet loss (give or take 10-20 ping or so. This was me for AION and ArcheAge Beta 3: US servers=165-190 ping, EU servers=170-180 ping. Yeah, not much of a difference  and if I'm really unlucky it'll go through that one node that randomly, a few times a day, gives 170+% packet loss which in FFXIV terms translates into 90000).
I'm sometimes toying with idea of an FC/LS that has leaders (and subsequently, members and events) of every timezone, but in order to make that work, I kinda need contacts/friends/other people and I don't have that.Â
