I'm new to FF, and while not on Balmung, I'm on Gilgamesh, a server also highly populated. Especially right now. But there is something I fundamentally don't understand, and hope that someone can explain it to me.

I'm on Gilgamesh. I have a character there. However it didn't work out for me, and now I wish to create another character. As far as I know, there is no way to log into two characters at once on the same license.

So why can't I create a new character and log in? I already have a slot. What difference does it make what character I am on? I'm still only going to count for one place. :/ So, I made it on another server, away from my friends, and will have to pay $$ to get it there after 3 days. Sounds like a scam, unless I'm not understanding something.

Thank you for reading, and T.I.A. for any assistance.
