    Anyone on EU servers?

    Me and a friend are both from europe, but we've been playing with americans on american event times for years now. Recently left BG in FFXI to play WoW and loving it. We have some 80s on the US realms, but here lies the problem for us: We're both finally going back to uni this fall and are therefore looking into playing on EU realms instead.

    My question I guess is if anyone else here is playing on EU servers and would recommend the one you're on? Maybe your guild would even be interested in a couple of new members (Guess I shouldn't get my hopes up =p we're gonna have to reroll from 0 since Blizz won't allow char transfers to EU realms from US. But playing with FFXI folks would always be a nice thing.)

    We're not really into PVP servers all that much, but some servers have very little ganking so I guess we're not entirely opposed to the idea.
    On a sidenote, I can say that playing with under 150 ping (tried a trial acct on EU) instead of 500ms was quite amazing =p

    If you're going horde steer clear of Arathor, alli outnumber us 3:1 and our battlegroup sucks hairy donky balls. On the other hand if you're going alli then I suppose Arathor would be good for you lol.

    I Roll on the Eu realms, and you'll notice a majority of suck on them, you'll find maybe 1 or 2 decent guild per realm, so many northern europeans play its wierd. i would definitly avoid going to Xavius its pvp and sucks on the horde side.

    I'm on Shattered Halls PVP, kind of slow on the Alliance side, about 30 ally to 70 horde. We don't often have Wintergrasp, maybe 30% simply due to numbers (might change in 3.2) and our battlegroup Vindication is kind of shitty for alliance but probably great for Horde.

    There is a couple of decent ally raiding guilds and a bunch of levelling/pvp guilds though and it is pretty quiet on the gank front. Don't know much about horde guilds. Levelling is fast since it's a fairly empty server. There's also a LOT of Dutch, Danish and Swedish players on lol. Only FF players I know of here though are me and 2 people I dragged in.

    TBH I don't know what server balance or anything is like but I met some very nice people on Al'Akir ally side. Mostly Swedish and Dutch.

    That seems to be the problem with the EU servers, theres just too many dutch, sweedish & finnish players, i'd like to see a more british server. would be nice really, not many people get odd cultural references i make.

    If there was a server with mostly british players, or at least one where we aren't completely outnumbered by danish, swedish, dutch, finnish and norwegian players, i would definitely roll there.

    Only moving so i can do raids at non-stupid times. Starting raids at 2AM when I'm gonna have uni in a couple of months is just max level stupid.

    Marius and Khelek, we will miss you. We'v been making study progress toward Yagg and with us not doing Naxx any more we might get there with running Uldar-25 for 3 nights.
    I wish Shiz would not have watered his computer. Would have been cool running Uldar-25 with all of us.

    Well, good luck at uni.
