This thread might be of some use. Another thing I've done is to transfer a character from another server, but that'll cost you so it's not a good option for everyone. 4-6am Pacific time during weekdays has usually been when I've been able to roll new characters, though, if that helps.
While you're feeling out other servers, don't be afraid to set up forum rps!
edit - nailah beat me to it, hee.
