I hear the best time for a world that is always congested (like balmung) it's best to try right after maintenance, or try in the middle of the night.
That's what I did for a new character on Balmung, was right after maintenance.
But I'm serious too with my previous answer, if you *want*, despite it being annoying, after creating you character and trying to pick a world, just refresh every 3 min. You're bound to find and opportunity at some point. If you don't want to do that, and once again even though it's annoying, try at a time like 3am if you can. I know not everyone can stay up that late.
Or just keep checking the server status with that link posted above. It should tell you if a world is congested or not.
But people tend to flock towards the world's with exp bonus. Might take some time.

The game is popular and growing. That means the incentive to get those servers populated is working.
