As an aside, "legacy" is a term that is no longer relevant. It means the server has been around in some form since 1.0. For a while, people could not transfer their characters off of a legacy server to a new server for balance reasons; that restriction was done away with some time back.
From what I've seen over time, while Gilgamesh used to be the 'non-legacy' unofficial RP server, most RPers have migrated to Balmung. Gilgamesh instead became known as the unofficial endgame raiding server.
Since these two servers are a sort of mecca for different reasons, no, they don't open to character creation. I have heard, however, that pre and post maintenance windows have been available recently, but you have to be faster than bot programs who jam as many characters in as they can in the approx 2 minutes you have.
