I feel EU got really screwed here.
It can already be complicated to find players in PF, some roulettes also take quite some time, and now they're splitting the DC in half ? well not even half, Light is really in a bad position, especially regarding raid content.

This just won't work, most hardcore raiders will move to Chaos, many statics will be broken, many players will lose their FCs and houses, and most importantly, their friends.

I really don't understand how they even considered doing this for EU, it just shows a deep disconnexion between the devs and the players.
