I wouldn't. Balmung is an overhyped terribad server.

Yeah everyone stay away. We are all miserable speed runners and market board gougers. When we see a dead person in a zone we just laugh and take out our fat chocobos so they know they were walked over.

Oh and we have alot of OLD MMO players so we also complain about back in my day. You had to wait two days for a party as a dark and summoner and it took you 45 mins to get to a spot and it was uphill all the way and you had to fend off the hordes of mobs. When they killed you they took a whole level away to show you who was boss. fun times

On a somewhat serious note addressing the op. They should maybe make something that attaches to the recruit a friend that has paid X amount of time up front. It seems the only decent thing if you sign up and pay for X amount of months you should be able to play with the recruiter account.
