Being stuck on a dead server while your friends are dominating world bosses on another is the worst feeling in any MMO. And with ToF being an older MMO, some servers are automatically less active than they were in their prime.
So, how do you change servers in the game, in case you’re not satisfied with the server you’re currently playing on?
I am going to walk you through how to do it, which servers are the best to choose, and everything you need to know about the massive cross-play and server type updates that changed the game since its launch in 2022.
Tower of Fantasy: How to Change Servers Guide
If you’re one of the ToF OGs, you know that you had to start from scratch if you disliked your server and probably still remember the frustration this has caused.
But Hotta Studio eventually listened. You can now transfer your character data to a new server within your region and today I am here to tell you how to do it – as well as some other tips & tricks about changing servers in ToF.
Transferring your character costs 500 Tanium (the premium currency). The developers occasionally hand out free transfer tickets during major events, so keep an eye out for those if you want to save some money.

Step-by-Step Tower of Fantasy Server Transfer Guide
There are a few requirements that you need to meet before being able to transfer your character to a new server. Here’s the step by step guide:
- Open your main menu and go to Settings.
- Select the Data Transfer tab.
- Make sure you have collected all items from your mailbox.
- Leave your current Crew.
- Make sure your character is currently in a safe zone and not engaged in combat or matchmaking.
- Select your destination server and pay the 500 Tanium fee.
Once you confirm, the game will boot you to the title screen. Just select your new server and your character will be moved there in an instant.

Best Servers in Tower of Fantasy
The best server in Tower of Fantasy is a server located in your geographical area and also one that has a green icon next to it. Yellow servers are OK too, but red ones will require you to wait in queue before you join.
Servers in Tower of Fantasy are divided into regions, as follows:
- Asia-Pacific
- North America
- Europe
- South America
- Southeast Asia
In each region, you have a multitude of servers to choose from – you can select your server by clicking on the current server name at the bottom of the screen:
There, you will be able to select your region and actual server. Your choice won’t impact the game much.
We have had massive server merges over the last few years, meaning most of the smaller sub-servers are now grouped.
You might get a bit of a lag if you choose a server in a far away region (for example, choosing Asia-Pacific if you play from Europe) and you will also not be able to play with your friends unless you are on the same server.
So my recommendation is to always choose a server in your geographical area for smooth gameplay.
The actual name of the server only matters if you have other friends playing the game and you want to team up with them.

The Expception: The Warp Server vs. Standard Servers
There is one major exception to the “all servers are the same” rule, and it’s a relatively recent one.
Warp Servers were introduced in November 2025, and they’re truly special. The Warp Server is a gacha-free environment that plays much more like a traditional MMO (swapping the gacha mechanics with a deep player-trading economy).
You can create a new character directly on the Warp Server, and veteran players can transfer their existing accounts over to it.
Keep in mind that moving to the Warp Server changes how your character progresses, so read the in-game prompts carefully before making the jump.
How to play Tower of Fantasy with your friends?
As mentioned above, if you want to play Tower of Fantasy with your real life friends, picking the right server matters.
Thanks to modern cross-server matchmaking, you can now team up for instanced content even if you are on different servers within the same region.
But if you want to join the same Crew and explore the open world together seamlessly, getting on the identical server is still the best idea.
And as of the Version 5.2 update in July 2025, PlayStation accounts can finally link with Perfect World Games accounts. This means you get full cross-progression and cross-play across PS5, PC, iOS, and Android.
In order to know what server you are playing (and what region it is on), click your server name at the bottom of the screen when starting the game and look at the details under “Created characters”.
If you’re not the creative type but you still want to impress your friends, make sure to look at my article where I shared the best Tower of Fantasy character presets – you will surely find an amazing one there!
Wrapping up
Choosing the correct server might seem difficult at first, but you will see that it actually isn’t so once you do it.
With data transfers now a reality and the new Warp Server completely changing how the game is played, you have so much more freedom than we had at launch.
For most players, choosing a good server will only be done once. But if you want to play with your friends who started earlier, you can finally transfer your character directly to them.
