You are a gentleman/lady and a scholar. Final Fantasy VIII was my favourite, so I highly approve of your avatar and name. That all being said, welcome aboard. I'm a newbie too, so welcome to the daunting task that is exploring and discovering all that the world of Final Fantasy XIV has to offer. I don't know much about what to suggest to an EU player, but I do know that 'Balmung' is the 'Legacy' server where the majority who began in 1.0 are continuing their RP (though it's just as open for folks who are just getting their start in 2.0. I know my whole free company group are brand new to FF XIV and we're all going to Balmung)--and Gilgamesh is what it seems a majority have unofficially claimed as a 'totally clean slate server' for folks who are just starting. Whatever server you go with I'm sure you'll find awesome RP. The community seems pretty involved and excited.
