Tonight went much better than I expected it would, thanks to everyone who showed up! 
I don't really want to be a leaderfag, but I was tired of not seeing my frens on weekdays because the meetups were so late. (I'm a wagie and can't stay up!) I also really missed the comfy in-between EU and NA hours we used to have.
Ideally, I want to make getting on earlier the norm so nobody really has to be an "anchor" anymore, or at least have a handful of co-leaderfags keeping the meetups alive. One thing another anon brought up earlier there's no real reason to segregate late EU and early NA, and I agree.
So tomorrow, I think I'll just start in the late EU instance and then try to keep the meetup alive until around 10 EDT. Also, can someone drop me a list of generally agreed-upon "good /vrg/ worlds" so I can start saving them? 
I just wanna do my best for you guys, especially my fellow wagies
