No character transfers and no cross-server play are available during Early Access. XLGAMES explicitly asks friends to choose the same server when creating characters.
Before your group creates characters
Agree on the region and the exact server name together. The launch build automatically suggests a region based on location, so friends in different places should not assume they received the same selection. Check the server screen before investing time in a character.
A server and a channel are different things. The party channel-transfer feature moves players between zone instances on the same server; it cannot bring a character from another server into your group.
Already on different servers?
The published rules do not offer a migration route for existing characters. To begin together under the current rules, your group needs characters on the same server. Review your choices before starting another character; do not delete your existing one just to test a supposed transfer method.
The developer may consider transfers in the future, but has not confirmed if or when that feature will arrive. A future possibility is not an available transfer service, and this guide cannot promise that progress, purchases or items will move between characters.
For an account-specific question, use official support. Avoid services claiming they can migrate your character or bypass the server restriction. Never share your Steam login to solve a grouping problem.
