Its rather an over-exaggeration to say that EU servers are dead - its just the end game regions (so the hubs like Helm's Deep and Aldburg) that are relatively quiet because there isn't much to do. However, especially with the current festival, I've seen a lot of people in the shrew cave near Duillond and at the Hedge Maze. Bree tends to be rather busy most of the time, with people levelling or hanging around near the South Gate. Additionally, the Ettenmoors community on Evernight (my server) is still pretty active (and from what I've heard, Snowbourn is equally active).
