Aniimo: How to Join Co-Op and Select the APAC Server

To play co-op or join community events in Aniimo, all participating players must manually select the exact same server region from the main menu before loading into the world. If you are participating in streamer events or community sessions that specify the APAC server, ensure your game client is set to APAC during initial login.

Because Aniimo does not automatically bridge players across different regional servers, players on separate servers occupy isolated instances and cannot see, invite, or interact with one another.

Server Locks and Character Progression

Before picking a server to play with friends, keep in mind how Aniimo handles character data:

• No Cross-Server Transfer: Progress—including captured creatures, character levels, inventory items, and quest milestones—is strictly bound to the specific server where it was created.
• Independent Saves: Switching to a different server region (such as moving from NA or EU to APAC) requires creating a fresh character on that target server.
• Early Alignment: Select your intended home server early with your regular squad to avoid repeating early-game progression.

Step-by-Step Co-Op Setup Checklist

Follow these steps to establish a shared multiplayer session with other players:

1. Select the Target Server: On the login screen, open the server selection menu and pick the agreed-upon region (e.g., APAC for featured VTuber and community events).
2. Log In and Form a Squad: Once in the game, open the social interface to view online friends on your server. Send or accept squad invitations.
3. Set Room Privacy: Check your party privacy settings in the menu to ensure your instance is set to "Open" or "Invite Only" as appropriate.
4. Refresh Shards if Invisible: If squad members appear in the party list but remain invisible in the open world, have all players teleport to the nearest fast-travel waypoint. This forces the client to reload the local instance shard.

Technical Considerations for International Play

Selecting a server region outside your local geographical area presents specific trade-offs:

If you encounter latency while playing on remote servers during precise encounters, such as high-level creature captures or boss fights, stabilize your network connection or host the squad from a region closer to the majority of your team.
