Against "Simultaneous Logout Measures"

However, as the data I have put forward shows, EU has the worst congestion issues proportionally compared to the other servers. NA/JP have lots of uncongested servers. Consider the fact SE had to open 2 new EU realms, one of which is at the risk of becoming congested as shown here, and I think even after the hype does die down completely, EU will still have issues. I think a more long-term solution needs to be looked at, and a 2nd data centre opened.

You might be right. I mean, two datacenters for one country, one datacenter for a continent?

Let's extrapolate things further. Let's go outside the inner circles of the datacentres and move to the outer circles.
NA: catches South America, possibly Greenland too. Maybe Iceland
JP: catches Australia, New Zealand, and other countries nearby
EU: catches Africa and the Middle East (I have friends from this game who live in UAE + Saudi Arabia).
I daresay the EU datacentre attracts an equally large playerbase to the NA realms. Even within the EU vs NA inner circles. Which is why I don't think the problem will go away for the EU playerbase. We're also pretty evenly spread across the datacentre as a whole, yet still suffering congestion on a lot of realms.
