How do I change servers and join a friend?

The order is this: open the global map, select the prison and surrender to the Feds. In prison, choose the state where your friend plays and leave through an escape point. Then send the party invite again.

The price is high. Progress is tied to the state: when you surrender voluntarily, all your property in the current state is confiscated. Cosmetics, the character name, tutorial progress, tattoos and the accumulated prison term stay with you.

So it is better to agree on a server before you get a plot. The game warns you if the chosen state was created long ago: its players are far ahead, and starting from scratch there is harder.

There is no server list on any website, and there cannot be one: the state is chosen only inside the game. Do not use third-party programs that promise a “character transfer” — that is a way to lose your account.

A party holds up to three players. A clan is a different group, up to a hundred people, and it exists only in the state where it was created.
