EU players can't do both due to one little thing called LATENCY. I personally refuse to pay a monthly sub just for RP as I can't do anything other than that after the server move. EU server should be established.
Some posters express concern about the lack of EU events; however, it is very likely that there will be even /less/ events to attend if EU players break off from the general population and form their own community. There will also be less potential RP partners and types of RP. You will not have a sufficient player base to sustain a vibrant, diverse, and healthy RP community in the long-term.
It is one thing for a few new RPers who physically can't access Balmung at the present time to select a server to play on until Balmung is open for transfer, it's another thing to repeat the failed efforts of the past and divide a vibrant RP community.
And that is the difference between any former attempt and this one. We are forced to do this by a little fact that we can't play the game like we used to.
As far as I know, none of my immediate EU friends and acquaintances had to quit the game due to, you know lag currently. I might be wrong and you may be one of them. But the majority of my EU friends didn't really notice the difference.
I do really think it is for the best RPs stick together, as much as I'd like to see an EU community, I don't think it's realistic.
