Gilgamesh doesn't have the stability, size, or community Balmung has, and probably never will. I'm not saying this to be mean or anything, it's just that Balmung had a headstart, they already had a base to start with from all the 1.0 players who are returning, and prior to Gilgamesh being named the RPC Server 2 many new players had already resolved to joining it. In addition, Rock and a number of other people have already stated that it's easier to just jump right into RP from day 1 on Balmung, which means that Gilgamesh is only going to see growth in terms of people who are really adamant about not playing on a Legacy server, while Balmung will continue to see growth from anyone who doesn't care about the schism.
I think what you've said is just as possible as Gilgamesh doing well, too. Let's not go putting down a part of the community, eh? I'm playing on Balmung but I'd like to say the G-crew has just as much a chance as making it as any other server. It all boils down to people and experiences in the end.
EDIT: In before another server thread takes a downward spiral.
