Servers

Introduction

Servers or Worlds are individual instances of Final Fantasy XIV. Multiple servers exist because the population of the game as a whole is too large to fit into a single server. Servers are located in 3 places int the world: North America, Europe and Japan. Each region is further divided into Data centers. Each data center has multiple servers.

There are no regional limitations on servers. Anyone can create characters on any of the 3 regions. During Character Creation, players can select the world server of their choice to begin the game on. An indicator by each world in the world list indicates population density, represented by chocobo icons, as low, average, or high.

To transfer a character from one server to another, player needs to use the World Transfer Service and pay a fee (real life money).

Note that Legacy servers are servers that existed before A Real Reborn (2.0). Each server has an ID number that is based on the approximate order in which the servers were activated. If multiple servers were activated at the same time, they are listed in alphabetical order.
