If you\u2019re wondering if Lost Ark is down or if your specific server has crashed, the best place to look is on the game\u2019s official website<\/a>. Click that link and you\u2019ll see a special Lost Ark server status webpage, where you can filter by region and see what\u2019s going on with each server in your area.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve landed on this page some time after 1pm GMT\u00a0<\/strong>on\u00a0Friday 11th February<\/strong>, it\u2019s worth noting that the developers announced their intention to take the game offline at this time in order to prep the free-to-play launch.<\/p>\n The official Lost Ark patch notes<\/a> explain that today\u2019s Lost Ark downtime should last for around four hours, which should mean that Lost Ark comes back online at 5pm GMT today.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re reading this at some point in the future, that Lost Ark server status page<\/a> will show you which servers are alive and well and which ones are down for Lost Ark server maintenance, as well as listing which ones are busy\/full.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re experiencing long Lost Ark queue times, you might want to check that server status page to double-check the server you\u2019re trying to join has any known issues at the moment. You could always try a different server if it does, as long as you have a character to use on it.<\/p>\n We\u2019d wage that there will be some lengthy Lost Ark queues when the game goes free-to-play later today. But when you get in there, hopefully you\u2019ll have a good time! Just remember that patience is a virtue.<\/p>\n Which Lost Ark server should you join? We\u2019d wager there are two main rules of thumb here. First off, you want to make sure you\u2019re joining a server that is actually intended for your region.<\/p>\n Secondly, you\u2019ll want to make sure you join the same server as any of your mates that you want to squad up with in the game. It\u2019s worth agreeing on one together, because you can\u2019t just swap between servers later. The Lost Ark server list is included for you below, so take your pick and make sure your friends do the same!<\/p>\n It\u2019s worth noting that the developers have already locked some of the servers\u00a0<\/strong>(the ones we\u2019ve listed in\u00a0bold<\/strong> below). New players cannot create new characters in a locked Lost Ark server. But if you already joined one of the now-locked servers during the early access period, your account should still work just fine. If you find that you cannot create a character in Lost Ark, you might be on one of the locked servers, so go ahead and try one that isn\u2019t in bold below.<\/p>\n You cannot change servers in Lost Ark, at least not in the traditional sense \u2013 that is to say, once you\u2019ve created a character in a specific server, you cannot move it to another one.<\/p>\n However, there\u2019s nothing to stop you from creating your\u00a0next\u00a0<\/em>character on a different server. So if you have different friendship groups playing on different servers, you\u2019ll need to make a character for each server.<\/p> Here\u2019s an interesting fact for you: there is some content in Lost Ark that spans the divide between servers. You can partake in Raids, Dungeons, Ranked PvP Arena matches and Boss Rush with players on other servers, as long their server is in the same real-world region as yours.<\/p>\n You can also experience The Cube, Platinum Fields and Auction House buying\/selling with players on other servers in your region. That\u2019s a decent amount of cross-server content, although it might not be quite as fun as exploring open-world areas with your pals (something that is very much server-specific).<\/p>\n It\u2019s also worth stressing that Lost Ark Gold, Power Pass tokens, Shilling, Bond Stones, Rift Shards, Pirate Coins, Special Voyage Tokens and Estate Tokens are tied to your account, rather than a specific server. So, for example, you could earn a Power Pass on one server and use it to level-up a character on a totally different server.<\/p>\n Read more on Lost Ark:<\/strong><\/p>\n Follow Radio Times Gaming on Twitter<\/a> for all the latest insights.
