There are currently seven servers for PWI. All servers are named after cities in the game.
Server List
Lost City - This is a West Coast PvP (Player versus Player) server.
Heaven's Tear - This is a West Coast PvE (Player versus Environment) server.
Sanctuary - This is a West Coast PvE server.
Archosaur - This is a West Coast PvE server.
Harshlands - This is an East Coast PvP server.
Dreamweaver - This is an East Coast PvE server.
Raging Tide - This is an East Coast PvE server.
East Coast servers will be on EST (Eastern Standard Time) or EDT (Eastern Daylight Time), depending on whether daylight savings time is in effect, which is UTC/GMT (Universal Time Code/Greenwich Mean Time) -5 or -4. West Coast servers will be on PST (Pacific Standard Time) or PDT, which is UTC/GMT -8 or -7. This means that if, for example, you are in the UK (UTC/GMT +0) that the City of Abominations, which opens at 8:50 PM Wednesdays server time, will be open at 1:50 AM Thursdays UK time for East Coast servers (when on EST), and 4:50 AM Thursdays UK time for West Coast servers (when on PST).
The East Coast servers are newer than most of the West Coast servers, so there are slightly fewer high level players on the East Coast servers. The Archosaur server is the newest of all of the servers (opened on March 17, 2010).
On PvP servers, once you reach level 30 then anyone can attack your character and you can attack anyone else.
On PvE servers, players normally can only attack each other if they go into PK (Player Killing) mode, which lasts for 10 hours minimum. (There are still a few areas, such as some rooms in the Cube of Fate, in which PK is always enabled.)
Selecting a Server
When choosing a server you should probably base it on the one with the lowest ping time (you should see this when selecting the server), what timezone (East or West) works best for you, and whether it is PvE or PvP, depending on which you prefer.
Character Name Exclusiveness
The database of character names on some servers are shared, so if you create a character on one of those servers, that name will be unable to be used on some of the other servers. This is so that, if it is ever needed, those servers can be merged. Currently there are four name databases:
PvE West: Heaven's Tear, Sanctuary, Archosaur
PvP West: Lost City
PvE East: Dreamweaver, Raging Tide
PvP East: Harshlands
