It's true Balmung is very active and full of awesome people. However, if you play in EU timezones, be ready to be left out of the vast majority of RP events (I can't even remember the last one I could attend), for they tend to be organized in NA timezones only. It's good if you have a group of friends to RP with, or if you enjoy casual RP. You will find a lot of casual RP going on, but events themselves will be quite hard to attend.
Also, finding raid parties won't be necessarily impossible, but it won't be easy either.
For the most part, my experience in Balmung has served me to realize that NA and EU are not very compatible, so IÂ personally will think carefully before joining a NA server in any future game.
I'm hoping to find a FC with quite a large EU timezone, even if I can't attend the Events, I'd be happy to just meet some new people/new friends to have casual RP with all over the games world.
