Adding European servers may have lured some people over there but there's still a decent number of European players who did not move over. You're expecting them to pay a real life fee as well as to sacrifice most of their acquired gil due to transfer limitations and a house if they're lucky enough to own one. In addition, you expect them to also abandon any established social networks and commitments.
