I've made a 'guide' of sorts about Getting into Balmung describing some ways to get in and what's working or not working.
Early mornings (typically 4-5am Pacific NA) used to work in the past but Balmung is almost always closed to character creation that waiting will eat at your subscription or the 30 days you get with the license. Waiting for after maintenance can also be a time gamble as it requires you to be online when maintenance ends for the window that only lasts about less than 4 minutes and maintenance also tends to end early.
So my recommendation is that if you -really- enjoy RP, make a character on a server that lets you. Play the game. Do you enjoy it? Want to continue playing but you think RP is -really fun- and you just need to get into it and see it for yourself? Then I recommend doing the transfer to Balmung. It's a little more than a month of subscription time but I don't think you will find the RP lacking.
If you don't mind that you'll have to do quite a bit of search or networking to get the RP, there are non-Balmung/Gilgamesh Server Linkshells in the tab at the top that will help direct you to people who RP there.
