Ask your friends which region, faction, server, and play hours they plan to use before anyone creates a character. If you want to share the widest range of faction-based activities, coordinate on the same faction and server. Friends who choose opposite factions have a documented cross-faction PvE option for dungeon and party play, but that is not a promise that every activity or social feature works across factions.
What faction and server choices mean for playing together
NC’s global launch announcement describes character setup as region, then faction, then server. Each server houses one faction, so Elyos and Asmodians do not share a home server. Check the official server and matchmaking announcement when you are ready to create characters: it says the server list is updated continuously.

The same announcement describes Elyos and Asmodian servers being paired for a limited time for certain cross-faction PvP modes. In the Abyss and Spacetime Rifts, opponents come from the matched server. These pairings affect who you may face; they are not a permanent guarantee about which opposing server you will encounter.

Can friends on opposite factions play together?
Yes, within a defined scope. NCSOFT says that, beginning March 11, 2026, players could form cross-faction PvE parties for dungeon and party play, with limited cross-faction communication in those settings. See the NCSOFT update introducing the cross-faction PvE option for its description.
#1 Best Overall
- TRIFORCE TITANIUM 50 MM DRIVERS — Our cutting-edge proprietary design divides the driver into 3 parts for the individual tuning of highs, mids, and lows—producing brighter, clearer audio with richer highs and more powerful lows

That update does not establish that all PvE activities, all social features, or cross-region grouping are available across factions. If your group plans to split factions, confirm that the specific activities and communication options you need are supported in the current game.
Choose based on what your group wants to do together
| Group plan | What it supports | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Choose the same faction and server | Best fit when sharing faction-based play is the priority. | Agree on a region first, then coordinate faction and server before character creation. Confirm the server is available in the live list. |
| Choose opposite factions | Allows the documented cross-faction PvE party option for dungeon and party play. | Check whether the activities your group wants are included and whether limited communication is sufficient. |
| Prioritize Abyss or Spacetime Rift opposition | Opponents are drawn from matched servers during limited-time pairings. | Check the current pairing information separately; an old pairing should not be treated as permanent. |
Coordinate around real play hours, not a presumed faction advantage
The available official information does not identify a faction that is better for early, late, weekday, or weekend play, nor does it provide a calendar of activity times. Make the schedule decision with your group: compare when each person can realistically play and choose a region everyone can use. Shared hours make it easier to find time together, but they do not change faction or server rules.

Before creating characters, ask each friend:
- Which region are you joining?
- Which days and hours can you usually play?
- Which activities do you most want to do together?
- Are you willing to choose the same faction and server, or is the documented cross-faction PvE scope enough?
Decision steps before character creation
- Agree on a region. Each friend should confirm the region they intend to use; do not assume cross-region grouping is available.
- Compare expected play windows. Pick times that overlap for the group rather than assuming a faction has a schedule advantage.
- Choose the group’s activity priority. If you want the broadest coordination for faction-based play, settle on one faction and server. If you split factions, make sure the documented dungeon and party PvE option meets your needs.
- Check current server availability. The official launch notice says the server list changes continuously, so verify it immediately before character creation.
- Check server pairings separately if PvP opposition matters. Pairings for the Abyss and Spacetime Rifts are described as limited-time; verify current information rather than relying on an old pairing list.
