Using the World Visit System

To visit another World, select "Visit Another World Server" from the aetheryte in the locations below:
* You cannot use the World Visit System while in a party.

• Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks
• New Gridania
• Ul'dah - Steps of Nald

In some cases, you may have to wait before your request to transfer can be processed. When your character is ready to be transferred, a window will automatically appear to inform you. This information is displayed in a similar fashion to the queue for the Duty Finder.
* Depending on the congestion of the target World, it may take several minutes to complete the transfer. Transfers will occur automatically and cancel all current actions/duties.
* In the event that server congestion is preventing travel to a particular World, requests to visit that World will be canceled automatically.
* To prioritize Home World logins, players may be restricted from logging in with characters visiting other Worlds during periods of server congestion.
* You cannot use the Duty Finder while waiting for the World Visit System.
* You cannot move to another area while waiting for the World Visit System.
