Thread: will they update the congested servers in 6.3?

Server statuses change multiple times per day. It only takes bringing up the status page on the lodestone and hitting reload every two hours or so to see changes.

I said it in a similar thread, but: small-c congested is normal, everyday Prime Time congestion. Making a character before or after Prime Time is always possible, and if you're super impatient, you can server transfer to the server in question, it is not locked.

Big-C Congested as Balmung and all of Crystal are is not one that will go away after Prime Time, they are locked completely from new characters being created and you cannot transfer to them. You're on Balmung, you'll see the same "Balmung is categorized as a Congested World. Please see this Lodestone article for incentives for transferring to a new world" when you log in that I do because it's Big-C Congested and they want people off. The current list of Congested worlds was made after the patch and can be viewed here. Once enough people have migrated from Crystal and most of Aether on to Dynamis, they'll lift the lock in a few months, most likely.
