Welcome jelrae!
We have many members that play on Balmung from the EU, so hopefully one of them can come along and tell you how things are faring (beyond what Tirra Lirra mentioned )
Perhaps playing on a NA server will put you outside of "prime time", when it will be easier to gain access into the game itself...which is still currently quite the issue.
Good luck though, hope you make it in somewhere
