There are two Euro (English) servers: Runnyeye and Splitpaw.
I played from Beta until mid-DoF on Runnyeye in the top raid guild Xanadu. Back then there was fuck all competition. We basically had a lock-down of contesteds with our best streak of nearly 3 months without losing a single one! No joke. It seemed there were three or four guilds fighting for the #2 spot, but they were miles apart in content / gear than the #1.
I ended up quitting over the sweeping combat revamp and didnt play again until December 2005. I decided to play more casually, so decided to see what life was like on the other server (Splitpaw) and made a Wizard. It seems that there are plenty of top-end raid guilds (Fable being #1) and quite a few casuals progressing perfectly fine. I am in a casual guild now (less than 50% attendance) and we still manage to clear all of EoF instancing except Emerald Halls, where we can clear the first floor. I personally have never even seen an EoF contested in the game!
In summary, you might want to ask opinions about the current state of Runnyeye but if its not changed much, there seems to be a lot more raiding guilds on Splitpaw.
The one thing I will say is that the server lacks a low level population. I honestly wish they would merge the two servers to help out new people in the game.
