Balmung is open if you're early enough, I find it tends to get closed later in the day. Fortunately for me I'm in the UK so when I usually wake up and play there's only about three servers locking me out, Gilgamesh included unfortunately...
Even though I do plan to roll my main on Gilgamesh once it's open again.
On a side note though, why are people reluctant to roll on legacy servers? Being completely new to the game - I wasn't even in the beta - I don't see what the problem is. I'm currently on Balmung levelling an alt and I've had no trouble thus far.
But that said, I generally have no idea what is going on and I'm just going through the usual quest/hand in/repeat motions. I don't even know what half of the chat options are, nor do I really understand the linkshell stuff. Not to mention I can't access Skype without moving to the PC - Same goes for the forums here, so I'm pretty isolated ingame anyway (Side note, I'm Korin Relanah on Balmung! Feel free to poke me if you -do- roll there!)
Before I start rambling off-topic again though, yeah, pretty much what most people have said. If you don't want to wait, rolling on Balmung won't hurt, right? Personally I don't like the idea of the RP community being split further than it already is. x) It's a fun little community on Balmung already and the starter zones aren't horribly overcrowded like I had expected.
