What is Data Center Travel?

Data Center Travel is a feature that will be implemented in Patch 6.18, allowing players to visit another logical data center (logical DC) to socialize and participate in matchmaking.

Currently, player characters belong to a logical DC (Aether, Primal, Crystal, etc.) and are limited to playing with others within that same logical DC. With the upcoming Data Center Travel feature, for example, players from Aether will also be able to play with others in Primal and Crystal.

The Data Center Travel process typically takes somewhere between less than a minute to three minutes to complete. We hope you’ll make use of this feature and socialize with your newfound neighbors!

Activities Available When Visiting Other Logical DCs

Similar to the World Visit System, you can take part in a wide variety of activities, such as:

  • Chatting through Say/Party/Yell/Shout/Tell
  • Joining and chatting in cross-world linkshells (CWLS) created in the destination logical DC
  • Adding players to the Friend List
  • Forming and recruiting parties
  • Progressing through quests
  • Social interaction in various in-game locations, such as cities, areas and residential districts
  • Participate in various in-game content, such as dungeons, raids, and PvP
  • Crafting and gathering (excluding Unspoiled and Legendary gathering nodes)
  • Purchasing items from the market board
    • In addition to World Visit System restrictions, free company chat / CWLS in other logical DCs / PvP teams / Fellowships features (aside from searching) will be restricted.

With the addition of Data Center Travel, you will be able to use your main character to play outside of your Home World’s logical DC without having to create new characters specifically for visiting another logical DC. The scope of your communication and gameplay will expand dramatically as you can participate in raids with others, play with previously unreachable friends and acquaintances, tour player housing, participate in player events, and more!
