Basically you need to remember that this is open beta. These are "growing pains" - an insane amount of people all creating data and putting immense stress on the servers. The lockdowns on character creation are TEMPORARY. Which means, anyone who wants to be on Balmung or Gilgamesh WILL be able to get on them, just not this very moment. It happened in 1.0, and we expected it to happen this time around as well, and so it has. It will clear up within a few days of early access/launch. There's no need to be choosing more servers for anything other than what people already have chosen servers for: a temporary place to RP while they're locked out of their main server. To my understanding RPers are gathering on Tiamat for RP while they are locked out of Balmung and Gilgamesh, but not as their permanent home.
