Cactuar and Gilgamesh are currently congested and not open to new characters or transfers because there’s too many people already on the server; where as the others are just locked to character creation right now (but not transfers) due to the amount of people currently logged in. So the OP could always transfer to any of the Aether servers outside of Cactuar and Gilgamesh regardless of them currently being locked to creating new characters.

The earliest Cactuar would open would be Early Access/ShB Launch, but given how some unofficial censes are calling it the 4th most populated server (and stating that it had the highest influx of characters since the Crystal/Aether split), I wouldn’t be surprised to see it remain congested.
