Hi! Welcome to the RPC. 
One thing to remember is that the character creation restrictions are released at various times during the day. You can always check the status page, which is updated every 5 hours during the day. As I post this, for instance, Gilgamesh is unlocked. If you do want to play on Balmung, I'd recommend trying to create characters early in the morning (like 1-4am) EST on weekdays. The restriction is usually lifted then.
As for servers, while I know there are some small groups of RPers on Behemoth, Diabolos, and Faerie, the bulk of RPers are on Balmung and Gilgamesh. There's some differences between the communities that I'll leave to others to detail, as I can only speak for my experience on Balmung. No matter which of the two servers you choose, though, I'm sure you'll find an abundance of great RP.
