Can someone give me a good reason why we can only change servers 5 times ??

If someone says well you cant then use the favour of the gods to your advantage....

Well can't you enter fissure/underworld in international areas all the time, or does favor need to be with internationl areas, ie an international team wins HoH ?? which in 18 days ive not seen once.. making international area/servers totaly pointless for me since i only quest in fissure and underworld.

Anyway the point of this is im in a US guild, euro division, but i still want to go back to europe servers now and again, but with only 3 changes left im going to have to decide where my priortys lie... my ping tells me its europe, which will be a shame cos ive met some great people that i have lots of fun with.

The Regions are not Servers. They are.. well, regions. You can go to any server at anytime. Just use the Districts menu to change.

Regions are there, specifically because of the hall of heroes. Pick yours, and simply wait. The HoH changes all the time. You just have to be ready for when yours has it to visit where you want. One of the problems might be that you are constantly changing the region you are in.


Basically it is a pick and choose. "International" will not hold the HoH. That is a district. You can be in any region and play with people in other regions. If your in the American Region and want to play with people in the European Districts - Then on the drop down menu click "International Districts" If you are on the European region and want to go to the American Districts.. then on the drop down menu - pick them.

If European is better for you. Select it and play on the American Districts. Tons of people already do it. Still - It doesnt matter what districts you play on when it comes to HoH. The Region your account is set at - is what determins when you can enter the area's allowed by who holds HoH. Which is currently either America, Korea, or Europe. (Currently)

sorry about the confusion.. between servers and regions but they seem to be one in the same from my selection of districts to current region.

Eh ??

Nope i can't do that, if im on the euro region the only active districts i can select are the euro districts and international.. if im on the US region i can only select the American districts and international district..

Maybe i have a different game version or something... trust me ive tried it

So how does an international party get in to Fissure or underworld.. say we have 4 euro players, 2 US players and 2 korean players (favour is with korea).. will one of the korean players need to pay for entry in to fissure or underworld..?? or will it only alow the korean players to enter Fissure or underworld..??

Ah okay then I see how it works, and understand what you are asking. Sorry I've never actually gone to the Euro region. Then - The international district is where you would play. As that would be "the mixing pot". You would meet your friends from all regions in the "Frost Gate (International District 2)" for example. Still - You can play with people from any region, you just have to meet up in the international districts.

I just recently (before posting, I made him test it) did this with a friend from Ireland I have in game. He plays on European Region, and I North America. If we want to run missions with eachother we meet in the International Districts and just play there. (He however recently had switched to North America Region - I didnt know so that was how I thought he could access american districts from the European Reigon.)


As for the last (and main) question. I havnt gotten that far, tho I would assume. If that the "Favour of the Gods" does not apply to International Districts? And that would you have to return to your own Regional Districts to enter the area's. OR that the international district falls under whomever has the HoH at the time (like a 'spoil of war'), and only people with accounts from that reigon would be able to access it. If you were on a team with someone entering it - You would probably be barred from it, or that person would have to choose to enter without his/her team (like when you map travel).
