I don't really think it's fair to go out and "warn" against EU'ers rolling on Balmung. Any RP'er in any timezone can end up starved for RP if they do not have a big enough network / aren't doing enough to establish a network or become a part of one etc. I'm currently leading a free company that has 40 active RP'ers measured on people who log in at least once a week, and of those about 15 are from the US, but are all people who tend to be active during the US daytime. We've opened our house up to RP and I have made several threads here to try and get us further out among people that aren't just ourselves. We've also hosted at least two server wide events in the EU prime-time this year (I'd love to do more, but I am out of ideas and low on time) - I'm not saying this for bragging rights or anything, just trying to explain that we've done quite a bit and I dare say it's working.
We started out as about 5-6 players when FFXIV launched.Â
There's also still the Europa Linkshell, which granted isn't as active as it was right back at launch, but it still serves as a good list of people that are RP'ing within the EU timezone. I know of some that have left it because it was too chatty at times, but that's really up to what people are into.Â
I don't think that the conditions for EU rpers would be any better on a European server, especially since there are no RP tags and I haven't so far encountered any websites that have a direct focus on EU rp'ers. You'll just have a small community that can't really pull the numbers. Instead of seeing a lot of events in the wrong timezone, I don't reckon you'd see so many events at all.
I mean, yes, there's -a lot- of the events that are posted here on the RPC that start at like 4am, but there are also some that try to be flexible, etc etc.Â
If any of you have any ideas for EU events, hit me up, I should be able to get enough people if there's an interest from my FC. Heck, our FC even has a big focus on being able to do things for others, anything from merc contracts to nameday parties. We were even out looking for a missing person once.Â
You don't have to be alone. Say hi! We don't bite! I PROMISE!
