CHAPTER 01

Queue too long? Go to a recommended server

System

The most popular servers have a waiting queue. The official advice is simple: if you're queuing for an existing server, or joining right now, consider creating your character on a recommended server.

That choice costs less than it seems. All instanced content, dungeons included, already works cross-server.

⟡ What your server doesn't limit

  • Dungeons and all instanced content, which are already cross-server
  • Grouping with friends from other servers in those instances

⟡ What still matters

  • The waiting queue on the busiest servers
  • The paired server that decides your opponents in the Abyss
CHAPTER 02

Server transfers on October 14

System

Server transfers arrive starting October 14. From then on you can change servers, but only within the same faction: Elyos stay Elyos, Asmodians stay Asmodians.

And the first period is free.

CHAPTER 03

Early Access stays in its own block

System

When transfers arrive, they come with a lock: Early Access characters can only move to other Early Access servers. The commercial launch servers stay closed to them.

⟡ No shortcut to launch

⟡ Heads up
Players who started in Early Access cannot move to a commercial launch server. If your group is playing at launch, agree on the server before creating a character.

⟡ Creator's voice
“This is the announcement that unlocks the queue: nobody leaves a full server if it means being away from friends forever. With free transfers in mid-October and cross-server dungeons right now, the recommended server stops being a punishment. The detail that will catch people off guard is the Early Access lock — if you started early, your character doesn't follow you to launch.”
Final verdict⟡ Good escape valve · Watch out for the Early Access lockConfidence: 7/10

What changes in practice

The PT-BR notice says October 13; the English one says October 14. Plan around the 14th.

For guilds
Spread across recommended servers now and regroup the guild with free transfers starting October 14.
For solo PvP
A transfer doesn't change your faction: your Abyss rival still comes from your paired server.
For casual players
Long queue? Create on a recommended server. Dungeons already work cross-server.
