Choose a Multiplayer Server

Characters in Once Human are tied to servers. If a player wishes to play with their friends, this means that they have to all be on the same server and in the same world.

Decide Between PVE or PVP Multiplayer Server

PvE and PvP server types provide vastly different gameplay experiences. It would be prudent to discuss beforehand which server to pick in order to get the desired gameplay experience.
