====== Servers ======

Many players can be found on one of the several active public servers. Public servers are independently operated by gracious volunteers, developers, and enthusiastic players. Accounts and player characters created on one server generally cannot be transferred to others.

===== Choosing a Server =====

Because accounts and player characters are not transferred between different servers, it's a good idea to pick an active server that has a long track record. When picking a server, you should consider the following:

  * **Ping latency.** Since Crossfire runs in real-time, it's a good idea to pick a server with a low(er) ping latency.
  * **Popularity.** Crossfire is a multi-player game. It is much more fun to adventure with friends than fight alone.
  * **Track record.** Servers that have been up for a long time will most likely stay up.
  * **Version.** Servers running a more recent version of the game have less bugs and more features.

==== Active Servers ====
A constantly-updated list of servers that are currently running can be found in the client or on the [[http://crossfire.real-time.com/metaserver2/meta_html.php|public metaserver]]. Several recommended servers that are fairly popular and stable are listed here.
