There is no designated EU RP server. Balmung, however, has many EU players as well as linkshells and free companies based around EU timezones/playerbases.

Not really, all of the Grand Companies are pretty much equally popular and which one you choose effects very little in the game.

Very! The RP community is active and still growing.

The free trial is very limited. IIRC, you can't send /tells and cannot join an FC. I'm not sure how else it is limited, but in the meantime, I recommend using this site to make connections, build your character, and organize RP.

The Adventurer's Guild in each major city often have RP, most notably the Quicksand in Ul'dah. I would also suggest browsing the calendar and events subforum on this website to find RP events on the server.
