The NTE global server is already live and has been available since April 29, 2026, so this FAQ now mainly answers how global and CN differ and which one makes more sense today. The most important differences remain: 1) separate servers with no shared progress, 2) different language support, 3) possible patch or event timing differences, and 4) historically separate redeem-code pools. If you are choosing now, prioritize language preference, where your friends play, and latency rather than the original launch order.
