The idea that RP could flourish on any server is nice, but it is simply not realistic and wastes the time of all parties involved in the effort.
Many other MMOs have more than one RP server - each with an active community.
The idea that FFXIV - one of the more popular MMOs right now - could not support more than one RP server is simply not realistic.
Right now few of the events or Free Companies on Balmung are suitable for EU-players anyway - so even if all the EU players moved off to another server (which isn't going to happen) it would not impact the NA players all that much.
