When 1.0 started up, I actually had to wait 3 days before Besaid (old Balmung) opened up, but it DID reopen eventually after the servers settled. It's just sort of a thing MMOs do, y'know? If you can stand the wait, I'd suggest giving it a couple days, maybe just making your characters on another server and getting some RP in. Hopefully the server you want will be open during early access/launch though. Good luck! :)
