ERP is in demand on most servers. For those unfamiliar with the game’s servers, Balmung is the original unofficial roleplaying server in FFXIV, with Mateus (on the same datacenter) seen as the secondary such site. *falls off a cliff* Gilgamesh, meanwhile, is the center of the game’s progression raiding community and easily the other biggest server in … … I doubt I have more than 15 hours logged in, I still have my sapling icon and all so I would like a newbie-friendly server to get started, especially since I want to play a tank as my first job.

You act like it's the RP'ers fault when you joined their server, many of whom had been on the server long before you, and then act like because Mateus has some minor semblance of a RP community it means balmung should be opened except all that would do is let the Mateus or other RP'ers who couldn't get onto Balmung a chance to get back onto Balmung.
