Below, we’ll cover whether you can change servers in Lost Ark and what to do if you’re struggling to play with friends at launch.
Can you change servers in Lost Ark?
Unfortunately, you cannot change servers in Lost Ark. When you make a character, they are linked to a server and cannot move to another. That means if you want to play with a friend, you need to select the same servers during the character creation process. Fortunately, Lost Ark allows you to make multiple characters. Everyone gets six character slots for free in Lost Ark, and each of these characters can live on a different server. This means you could build a character now and hop into any server that has a free slot, and then build another character to play through Lost Ark with a friend when there are less server queues. With 5 classes and 15 subclasses to try out, there are plenty of character options to explore, so there’s no need to limit yourself to just one character. If you do decide to make multiple characters, check out our Lost Ark knowledge transfer guide to see how you can level boost your alt characters and skip over any main story missions that you might not want to repeat. That’s everything you need to know about Lost Ark server transfers.
