Unfortunately, Balmung hasn't really been open to new people making characters since before the release of FFXIV 3.0, Heavensward. Starting from about mid-to-late 2014, the only surefire way of getting on was by server-transfer. While SE's site says transfers are closed, this is not truly the case and you can still select Balmung as a destination world.
On truly rare occasions, you can get into Balmung just before/after a server maintenance or crash, but you'll be fighting a swarm of RMT bots also trying to do the same.
Patch 3.5 is going to be introducing a datacenter-wide Party Finder thought. ...so if you pick another server on the Aether data center, parties and dungeons may still be doable in a planned manner. We don't fully know how it's implemented.
