As much as I want the players based in the US to have a server with good ping, and having a backup server sounds useful, for me the player count makes or breaks the experience (the more the merrier) so I have to -support this for now.

+/- Support for back up servers. -Support for the location.

There hasn't been a decent amount of people on V2D for a long time, peaking at around 18 players, and this is during EU time, during US times, the server is completely empty. I don't see the point in a US server if the majority of the player base are European.
If the community wasn't so small it would be a good idea and wouldn't affect anyone, an alternative could just be having the extra servers locked, or turned off on standby in case of a failure or attack. Then, the 40 year old neck beard would have to pay double the money to fund his botnet army of 11 year old boy soldiers he found on 4chan and had to sell his entire mineral and rare limestone collection to fund will eventually hit poverty and will no longer be able to pay for electricity.

I barely see people on V2D, not enough players to fill up the server.

I see this as an option for a bit more grown playerbase. It needs to develop further on that front before we can start either dividing or moving things around. I don't think it would be anywhere near beneficial for everyone in a collected manner to discontinue EU servers and move to NA based servers, rather host individual and separate ones for each respective continent that the LL playerbase spreads to. As I stated however, this should be when there is a reasonable and applicable size to initiate such, so we don't end up with 20 players on each server of 75 slots or so.

European hosts do seem to be terrible and I do think the US has better hosting machines etc. But this will be a big change since CityRP's servers have always been hosted in Europe and the majority of people here are European.

Europe players unite!

At the current moment I'm unsure if the options are even available to put up with European servers anymore. For the most part they are ran by incompetent companies that are all somewhat government controlled. United States servers have the benefit of sanity with being able to find people from Garry's Mod who'd willingly host servers for extra money.

Maybe, but not now. The playerbase is simply not large enough to be divided any more than it already is.

I can only see this negatively affecting the current servers which mostly only reach around half capacity now.

Dividing the community is not a smart movie, and the majority of the player-base from my experience comes from Europe.
