Examples of Server Architecture

A world has many HB servers. If you create a character, it is within that world, and will start in one of the HB servers in it. So let's say we have:

World 1, with HB1.1 HB1.2 HB1.3 etc World 2, with HB2.1 HB2.2 HB2.3 etc and so on.

If you create your character in HB1.2, you can: Play Hagga Basin with people in HB1.2 Visit temporarily friends/guild mates in HB1.1, HB1.3.. Play Deep Desert with people in HB1.1, 1.2, 1.3, .. Guild up with people in HB1.1, 1.2, 1.3, .. Join in social Hubs and sell at the exchange with people in HB1.1, 1.2, 1.3, ..

But you can't Play Hagga Basin with people in HB1.1, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 Visit people in Hagga Basin 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, .. Play Deep Desert with people in World 2 (HB2.1, HB2.2, HB2.3 etc) Guild up with people in World 2 (HB2.1, HB2.2, HB2.3 etc) Join in social Hubs and sell at the exchange with people in World 2 (HB2.1, HB2.2, HB2.3 etc)
