Because there are no "European servers." I'm guessing this is yet another suggestion that you should be able to filter players by time zone. Search the forum for "filter" and "zone" or "timezone" (the word "time" by itself is ignored) and you'll find numerous discussions explaining why that is an ill-conceived notion.

It's probably more accurate to say all the servers are European servers, from what I understand ...

If OP ever responds, I suspect what they meant by "European servers" was servers for only European players, and I answered in that context.

And I told you how to search for threads where this has already been discussed ad nauseum. It is neither an original thought, nor a good one.

Why do you want such a thing? (I expect Meeplelowda is probably right but I'd like to see you confirm it.)

Would you like to filter by IP location (useless because IPs can be changed with VPNs, proxies, etc.)?
Or would you like to filter by user profile flag (useless because users can change their flag at will, and their chosen flag says nothing about geography)?

What is this in relation to? You were asking for a geographic filter, seemingly, and now you say you want to filter by premium status, which has nothing to do with whether anybody is in Europe, so I'm confused.

Perhaps you could use more than 5 words to explain exactly what you are looking for, and why.
