Honestly no matter what you do, you won't find a solution long term. The reason for this is because not every EU player will guarantee to use the site and more importantly not every EU frankly knows about it. Of course you can try to get every EU member in the same boat, yeah that is great but I think by doing it your splitting the Roleplayers.
My personal idea is to create 24/7 Roleplaying guilds which will allow both EST and GMT to interact and Roleplay as one guild and not as two separate community's, the two time factors have one amazing opportunity, they can demolish the 7-10Hours rest period when the GMT or EST are sleeping and incorporate more Roleplay which will help build the community.
When I say incorporate more Roleplay I mean:
When the EST are sleeping GMT Roleplayers will be on representing the guild and generally role playing.
Now when GMT sleeping EST Roleplayers will be on representing the guild and generally role playing.
Basically someone will be covering the guild front 24/7 this could be GMT or EST. Of course they is one huge factor, Roleplay Direction one time zone may feel like they want to push the guild threw a story to develop the guild which will push the other time zone out the window, how do we get around this?
The answer is simple, we communicate with each other, at the end of the day we are all mature roleplayers I hope and I am sure we can solve a problem such as this by just generally talking about it. Beside this would allow the guild to branch out in multiple ways at the same time and increase the guild growth as a whole. Crime guilds or Military guilds would have the biggest growth from this due to being able to do multiple missions/ heists at the same time, due to EST and GMT.
Of course without communication something like this could never work.
P.s I am GMT+1, UK and I plan to play on Balmung.
