Server travel
There are two ways to move between servers--by boat or by portal. Which option depends on the server cluster.
Contents
Sailing
You can sail across some server borders using any boat you are the owner of or as a passenger on of a boat. This will leave your skills and items intact. Animals cannot cross server borders unless by the means of creature cages.
NOTE: If you are traveling across server borders, make sure all passengers are logged into the ship prior to crossing the border. Players logged off when a ship crosses the border may be left at their last log-in position on the previous server.
Player can use the Plot Course option when right-clicking on their boat to go to any server from any other server. A player will end up on the opposite side of the island from the one they left. If a player sails to the northern edge of a server, they will arrive at the southern border of the new server.
Portals
Some server crossings require portals. Your items and vehicles will not cross to the new server. This may or many not mean your skills are left behind, depending on which servers you are traveling to and from. Some portal are one way, but most allow travel back and forth.
In starter towns on PVE servers and Chaos is a blue crystal portal, allowing you to select another starter town on your current server or on another server to teleport to.
Your current server and the destination server combination will determine what will transfer together with you
- Travelling between Southern Freedom Isles (SFI) and Nothern Freedom Isles (NFI) transfers everything but items
- Travelling to a server which is also reachable with a boat transfers everything that would also transfer when you would be travelling with a boat
- Existing transfer rules between Northern Freedom Isles and Defiance are unchanged, use the PvP portal like before to travel between these servers
- Existing transfer rules between Southern Freedom Isles and Epic are unchanged, use an Epic portal like before to travel between these servers
All servers have a direct link to Guidance, where everything except items will transfer to
- When leaving Guidance, all items you have will transfer together with you (away from Guidance)
- When travelling to Guidance from another server, you must return to that server first before you can continue travelling to another server
The master cape is exempt from item transfer rules and will always follow you to any server
There is a 10 minute cooldown for using the portals
Starting at Southern Freedom Islands
Players can sail between any of the Southern Islands by boat. Travel to Chaos may be disabled in your profile settings-Block PVP Crossing. Players may also travel to Epic servers via portals in the starter towns or created by players for their own deeds. You will not keep your items, but you will share your bank balance. Skills transfers from Southern Islands to Epic, except for Faith, Favour, and Alignment and except any skill that shows a 3X on Epic.
Players on the Southern Freedom Islands may not travel to the Northern Freedom Islands in any way at this time.
The ingame world map shows the standard connections between servers on the Southern Freedom Islands cluster:
