The status of each World and character creation limits can be checked via a posting under the Status section of News on the Lodestone.

On World Classifications

Depending on the circumstances, Worlds will be categorized in one of four ways. Please note that the Home World Transfer Service changes depending on the World's classification.

The World classifications are:

New World: A recently added World. Players who transfer to or create new characters on designated New Worlds will receive special bonuses.
Congested World: A crowded, highly populated World. Cannot be selected for new character creation or Home World Transfer destinations.
Standard World: Inhabited by a manageable number of player characters.
Preferred World: Relatively sparsely populated World with room to spare. Players who transfer to or create new characters on these Worlds will receive special bonuses.

* Characters in any of the following situations will not be able to utilize the Home World Transfer service until 90 days have elapsed:
- Characters transferred to a New World
- Characters created on a New World
- Characters transferred from a Congested World to a Preferred World
- Characters created on a Preferred World

World classifications will change over time depending on the population of each server. Please refer to the official site for the latest information.
Home World Transfer bonus incentives may also be subject to change in the future.
