Justice will probably remain my Home. I'll probably make at least a low level Presence on Union and Defiant. Doubt I'd do anything on the other two.

ok I feel the need to clarify my post cuz a few responses have been "I'm never moving my home" or "ain't going nowhere" (we'll ignore the double negative for now)
I wasn't asking if you're gonna relocate, but rather, are you going to involve yourself in a new community - perhaps part time, or maybe at a deeper level. Maybe superficial. I'm very clear in my own mind Defiant is my home - but now we've got the opportunity to spread our wings I'll be checking out a lot of the "new to me" servers and I hope to meet new people and make new friends.

On the upside those who migrated to the EU can now rest in their new home or transfer back to the old one.

I definitly want to have a presence on a new Server, though to be honest my presence on my main isn't that strong anyway, and I tend to play in 4 servers anyway. But I love traveling to Europe, so why not play there too...
Well Defiant will probably stay as my main server as I never have problems getting a team when I want one and love the community but I am intrigued at exploring a few aspects of the US community.
After a forum discussion regarding LGBT SGs a long time ago I found out about a group called the City of Gaymers who I believe play on Victory. I wouldn't mind getting in touch with them being an LGBT person myself.
There is also meant to be the unofficial "EU" server on the NA list but can't remember which one that is!
On top of that an SG friend of mine knows a few people on Justice so has mentioned possibly setting up the NA branch of GGRRR there.
Then there is the NA Tanker Tuesdays. I tried starting up a EU version of this but it didn't really take off how I wanted but as an avid tanker lover I am going to try and tag along to few of those if I can as it will give me an excuse to roll some new tanks
I know there is an hours time difference between the UK and mainland EU but what is the time difference between UK/EU and the various time zones in NA. Im not very good as figuring that type of thing out!!

Pacific Time is -8 hours behind UK time (GMT)
Mountain Time -7 hours behind UK time
Central Time (US & Canada) -6 hours behind UK time
Eastern Time (US & Canada)-5 hours behind UK time
Atlantic Time -4 hours behind UK time
UK - GMT 0
Amsterdam / Berlin / Rome / Stockholm / Vienna +1 hour ahead of UK time
Helsinki +2 hours ahead of UK time...
I think?

I haven't been paying attention, and I can't find the announcement, so I have no idea what's going on with this "server list merge" thingy.

While I have Heroes on Union (barely played), villains on Defiant (frequently played) I may start up a mix on another server (as I'm now in the US and playing in the evening would be easier on a US server).

Ah. Big deal for European players, not so much for US players then. Carry on.

NA will also get the French and German servers which may be appealing for some NA players. Off the top of my the French Canadian community comes to mind.

Actually is a big deal for the NA players too. When you think about it, a lot of us EU players i think will try out the other servers which will obviously make it easier for team based stuff.

Not too far from the truth. In various points in our history, we were the unofficial French server (before the EU servers came live); we were the unofficial Australian server (but that ended up migrating elsewhere). We also have a strong Brazilian population too, I see them around regularly.|

And yeah, Freedom is like Thunderdome, just with better team synergy. I mean seriously, Master Blaster? Utterly failed level pact right there.

Looking forward to seeing them on the same battlefield once more.

Back at launch it was Victory and/or Guardian (I vaguely recall opinions being divided - I rolled Victory and there were certainly plenty of EU players and SGs there). But these days I'm not sure there really is one anymore, not in practical terms - population is just too small, at least outside of US peak times (i.e. during EU peak times). You'd probably find as many or more EU players by just going to the high pop servers like Freedom and Virtue.|

With regards the thread topic, I might roll an alt or two on Union or Defiant, just to see what it's like in terms of population size and activity on a server actually intended for my timezone. But since I have more alts than I have time to play already I'm not sure how active I'd be over there.
I've never played on another server. Pinnacle continues to be my one home, my one community in-game.

I am out of slots on Virtue. I usually play really off the wall hours since I work from 10pm to 6am central time US and keep my schedule during the weekend. So I will probably check the EU servers to see if there are more people on in the wee hours of the morning where I am.
No one pays attention to me, cause I listen to the voices in my head.
I am not sure where, but I am leaning heavily towards Triumph, based solely on the fact it's my ride too. But I'd like somewhere open to RP and PVP and everything.
I'm not suddenly planning on abandoning Defiant, far from it - but if I do make a 2nd home what're your recommendations?
Will anyone be joining us on a soon to be former EU server?
