Hello hello, welcome!
And yes, Balmung is one of those servers that is notoriously difficult to make a new character on. Some make a character on another server and transfer over later (costs $$$), some wait until the ungodly hours of the morning for a chance (EST) though it's not always guaranteed, and I have heard of an e-mail service that alerts you when the server opens up! Either way, just keep trying and you will find your way here!
