If you're reading this and you want to eventually create a character on Balmung, tonight might be your chance. I don't know if the trick still works, but within the first 3 or so minutes of servers coming back up after tonight's maintenance, you may be able to create a character on Balmung. It's handy to at least reserve your spot with, if you can manage it, and it will save you the fee of transferring a character there at a later date.
