Personally, I'm already on Balmung, but to my understanding, beta is beta and this issue will be resolved by Early Access. I highly doubt they've completely shut down character creation for servers. I think it's a beta restriction to try and deviate flow to other servers, to make sure everything is stress tested.
I think, when launch comes. The restrictions will be lifted and everyone will be free to create characters on servers. On top of that, Beta is Free, the game is not. So a heavy chunk of the overwhelming population will be chiseled off right there. I doubt the entirety of the Beta population is going to be in the full release.
SHORT VERSION: I don't think we have anything to worry about!
