It's the fact that the bigger name communities attached to Gilgamesh have reputations (just as RPers have reputations among them), even if those reputations don't reflect the people playing there. And that's going to make newer players a lot more wary. I've played there without problems, but that doesn't change the fact that people are going to be deterred from open RP.
In addition, RPers on a high population server may well result in hostility if these problems do turn out to be ongoing. The various communities are all likely to blame the other two for their problems.
The other worlds ARE reaching limits, of course, but Gilgamesh reached its limit, if reddit is to be believed, just 15 minutes after the launch and has not left it except for short times immediately post-maintenance since. It also likely has a much larger queue of people waiting to pounce it to be with their friends than the other servers, especially the newer ones added during P4. I don't think you can seriously argue that every other server is just as bad. Even when server changing is implemented, Gilgamesh is the most likely server to have restrictions placed on moving there.
Honestly, I'm a little concerned that most of the pro-gilgamesh responses are coming from people who are having no problems at all, and are basically saying 'well I'm having fun so I don't see why you're complaining'. Yes, upheaval is a problem. Yes, people won't want to go. Yes, naming a new server now would be a hassle and result in some splintering. But I don't see why the people who literally can't go to Gilgamesh should be the ones to move and lose progress either. And if it's this or small groups going wherever I'll take the kind of splintering that's the result of people having too much fun to leave over the kind caused by people not being able to play at all.
You know, I wrote out a huge response to this, but then I reread your post.Â
I'm sorry you can't get into gilg. I'm sorry you're going to have to form a small coalition of players who don't want to wait for gilg to open up in order to start RPing early, it's a ton of work.
However, stop whining. Just do what you got to do.
