I just thought I'd give a word here that I'm one of those coming on with ARR. I've had a chance to get a character onto Midgardsormr, Adamantoise, Behemoth, Ultros, Goblin, Cactuar, and Faerie since launch, meaning they've opened up long enough to get a new character onto them. I have yet to see Gilgamesh ever open for new characters, even in the wee hours, let alone Balmung.
I've contented myself with base leveling, and I understand where people are coming from about dividing the community long term (especially all the 1.0 people that are well established). I've seen enough about SE opening new servers so that new people have places to go, just like I realize that people will leave after the free to play period is over. Still, I'm reluctant to progress too far on any of the servers I have a character on since I'd like my main to be RP focused, and there's a lot of time and investment in getting to 50.
That said, are there settled "temporary" RP groups on other servers? There's been talk, but nothing for certain I could pick out. Again, I'd prefer it just to be a stop gap, for the sake of more roleplayers as well as to not give ill-will with a divide), but the F2P period was extended, and if things stay congested for a few weeks, that could be dull indeed.
