I think Gilgamesh was chosen because that is where most of the RPers were at during beta, before they opened up the Legacy servers, and those that didn't want to go to Balmung for *insert reason here* got comfortable and decided to stay there
As horrible as it sounds, P4 is right around the corner (I remember reading a hint on FFXIV Core that it would probably be sometime around the 17th) and as much as a switch makes sense at this point (seeing how many other huge communities will be going there and there is an extremely huge possibility that it will be locked out), its kind of too late. I am unsure of how many are actually going to Gilgamesh, but to try to relay this information to all those people in a short amount of time (if they decide to move servers) would just wind up with mass confusion, people going to the wrong server, people getting left behind, etc.Â
For those going to Gilgamesh you may just have to tough it out and hope for the best, but know that if things don't go that smoothly there will always be the Legacy server, which hopefully doesn't get locked out as well as I was doing my character transfer from Masamune it said that the server population was very high. This might have just been related to transfer characters though as they would probably want to keep spots open for newly created characters as well.Â
And yes Kossori, those people on the beta forum are very horrible people indeed. I haven't logged on there for a long time and all that negative talk about RPers on Gilgamesh reminded me why.
