From what I can tell, Gilgamesh has a more tied-story RP across those RPing on the server.
With the amount of differing styles and peoples, Balmung has less of that 'world rp' and more story encased into linkshells, FCs or circles of roleplayers.
Keep in mind that the creation of characters for Balmung is a very narrow window. Usually about less than 5 minutes. I know people have spent weeks trying to make one. Generally the fastest, surest way to get into Balmung is by character transfer. Keep in mind if you have the plan that you can have multiple characters on one world you can have them moved all from the same server A -to- the same server B on the same $18 of transfer.
Gilgamesh is restricted but not to such narrow windows.
