Thanks for your reply! I totally understand the restrictions, they're just hard to deal with, hehe. I had been trying to get onto Balmung for a few nights, but I'm unsure how to figure out when maintenance will be. Maybe I'll try at like 6-7am EST! That's an awesome tip for dealing with the forums limit too, thanks for that.

I do have another question that I didn't have space for above; how easy is it to change class if I decide I want to play a healer? Do I just have to start from scratch at level 1 in that class but without the awesome story stuff?

If I do a server transfer, can I transfer all characters from one server onto Balmung? So if I make a pugilist and a conjurer on Gilgamesh, can I bring both to Balmung if I can't find anyone on Gilgamesh to play with?
