AFK Journey: How to Change Servers

AFK Journey is a new game in the indie RPG genre created by Farlight that enables players to embark on an epic journey, but you will also earn rewards for being absent from the game. There are multiple servers in the game, so there are options should you wish to play with your friends, move to a newer server with lower-level players, or escape toxic gamers.

Unfortunately, AFK Journey doesn't allow you to select a server at the outset, and the process is buried within numerous menus, so you'll likely be assigned a different server to your friends. For those looking to change the AFK Journey server they are playing on, this guide will provide all the necessary steps.

If you wish to swap servers in AFK Journey due to server issues such as overcrowding, you can do so after creating your initial character. Following this, you can switch characters instantly and as frequently as you desire. In addition, servers in AFK Journey are cross-platform, meaning you can use your mobile device or PC to seamlessly transition between devices (or play with a friend on a different device).

Here's how to change servers in AFK Journey:

Click on the Head icon in the top left corner
Select the Settings Gear icon
Navigate to the Others tab
Select the Character Switch button
Click on the Create New Character button
Select a new server by choosing a Number- The higher the server number, the newer the server is.
Press the Create New Character button

It's essential to understand that the game will revert to the title screen, and you'll proceed through the initial stages, including the character creation screen. However, your character on the alternate server remains intact, and you can switch back to it whenever you wish. Please be aware that transferring items between characters on different servers is impossible. However, you can easily earn back your valuable loot like other free-to-play PC games.

Can You Play With Friends On A Different Server In AFK Journey?

Regrettably, befriending or playing with a friend on a different server is impossible. Likewise, joining a guild on a different server is not an option. While this may surprise veterans of other idle mobile games accustomed to cross-server functionalities, there is a way to join the same server as your friend.

Navigate to the Server Selection screen as per the given instructions. Here, you can identify which servers host your characters, indicated by the label "Owned" on any server where you've created a character. This feature is handy for determining your current server, enabling you to invite a friend to join you using the same method. Alternatively, you and your friend can select a server number to join together and establish your friendship there.
