Recently picked up FFXIV+HW bundle on amazon for £17 and just finished my free month... played on Odin server. That was surprisingly active world in all zones 1-60... but im sure its because the class system + cross platform play and EU servers coming out this year.
Dungeon queues were around 5mins to 20mins as DPS.. so really active system (I dreaded going in when person said story dungeons were forced to progress, but really isn't that bad. They use a level sync system so lvl 60s can show up in lvl 15 dungeon).
In most cases if an MMO is popular in USA it's popular in Europe too. There are some exceptions.
AoC could be an exception I think, that was more popular here, it still had a couple servers for each supported language when the US servers were already merged into 2 or 3 (way before the single-server tech changes started). No wonder I guess, that when the switch onto single servers happened, Crom remained the PvE (that was the bigger EU english pve server) and Fury as PvP (that was the non-RP english pvp server in EU) server at the end.
LotRO was also very popular under Codemasters, had a similar population as Turbine over there (and they had US, the Oceanic and the Eastern Asia region).
MMORPG's that I know are popular on europe servers from experience. WoW, Trove, Tera, Gw2, Marvel Heroes, Path of Exile. I'm sure there are a few others I just can't think of right now.
