lichess4545 looks cool, however, looks like most of the players and most of the games are north america timezone friendly.
Is there a euro friendly equivalent?

I don't know if there exist any similar leagues but I've not experienced problems with differences in timezones.
I'm from Europe(UTC+2) and I've just finished a season in lichess4545 lonewolf. I've never had any problem scheduling games at a convenient time(14-18 UTC for me). All people from America have just agreed on the latest time I could(usually during the weekend) play without any problems.

Who thinks spending 2 hours staring at a screen with a picture of a chessboard is cool?
umm... what is lichess4545?
Hi friend! I'm a moderator of the Lichess 45+45 league. From memory, only about a third of our members are from North America. Many of the rest are from Europe. We also have plenty of folks from other parts of the world.
People almost always are able to schedule their games, even with opponents from the other side of the world. It's probably not as hard as you're thinking. I hope you'll join us.
@AOOP9_2 lichess4545 is a league where you join a team and play 1 45+45 game on lichess against a player of similar skill every week. We also have various umbrella leagues such as LoneWolf 30+30 which is an individual swiss tournament. Lonewolf has registration open right now, check it out at lichess4545.com. The rules and FAQ documents at the website are very informative.
@RomanMauskopf I greatly enjoy playing long games online. I can wear my pajamas, eat snacks, play music, and other things that aren't convenient to do at OTB tournaments.

As someone from the most difficult timezone imaginable, a land of kangaroos, koalas, emus and Vegemite, games can still be scheduled at times OK for both players. The 45+45 League is great also, as MrScribbles says above. It also has "side leagues" where everything from individual "Lone Wolf" leagues to Fischer random chess happens.
If I can schedule games to my satisfaction, then anyone else can :)
p.s I wouldn't really want a dedicated server for different regions; I wouldn't want that sort of player division.
The closest chess site to Lichess would be FICS. [Free Internet Chess Server] But to my knowledge they don't have a balkanized set up for different regions.

Thank you, everyone.
