Changing servers in Age of Empires Mobile is one of the most daunting tasks as the option to modify it is well hidden in the game. The worst part is game doesn’t even mention how to migrate all of your progress to a different server which is why many players are having a hard time. Thankfully, we’ve got you covered with this easy guide to help you change the server in Age of Empires Mobile.
Why change server in Age of Empires Mobile?
Let’s understand why changing servers is important before diving into the steps. You won’t be able to join the same guild or alliance if you and your friends want to play together but you’re on different servers. Also, newer servers tend to offer better gameplay experiences as they are less crowded which gives you a better chance to grow your power and alliances without competing with established players.

Complete the Tutorial: You’ll need to complete the game’s tutorial before you can change servers. Follow the tutorial until you reach your city when you start the game for the first time. You’ll have full access to your game account and the ability to switch servers once you meet these requirements.
Open Your Hero Profile: You’ll see your Hero profile in the top-left corner of your screen. Tap on it to open your player settings.
Access Settings: Navigate to the bottom-left corner of the screen and tap on Settings once you’re in your Hero profile. This will open up a menu with various options.
Tap on Characters: You’ll see a tab labeled Characters on the right side of the settings menu. This is the option that allows you to view and manage the servers your account is linked to. Tap on it to proceed.
View Current Server and Create a New Account: You’ll see the server you’re currently playing on as well as the power ranking of your account. To change servers, tap the Create button. This will bring up a list of all available servers.
Select a New Server: You will now see a list of servers categorized as Kingdom Servers and Empire Servers. Each server has a status indicating whether it is full (red mark) or open (green mark). New servers will also be marked with a green thumbs-up and labeled “new.”

Key points you should remember
Each account is tied to a specific server. You can create multiple accounts on different servers but there may be a cap on the number of accounts you can have. The limit is often around five or six accounts per game based on other mobile games.
Also, no new players can join until space opens up due to account inactivity or deletions. This means that if you create a guild on a full server, your friends might not be able to join you right away.
Finally, coordinate with your friends before creating your account on a new server if you’re planning to play with a large group. Wait for a new server to open and make sure everyone is ready to join at the same time to avoid server overcrowding.
