Why did NTE CN launch later than global?

NTE's global server launched April 29, 2026, while the CN server launched April 23 — actually CN went first for the 1.0 launch. The 8-day gap from 1.1 onward is due to separate review and operations cadences between Hotta Studio's two publishing tracks.

Is NTE CN server rating really lower than global?

Yes. As of mid-2026, TapTap CN scores NTE at 7.0 (55k+ ratings) while the global server sits at 9.0 (660+ ratings). CN players are notably harsher on mobile optimization, the AI-art controversy, and the 'rabbit hole bug' enforcement double standard. Global players have been more forgiving overall.

Can I transfer my NTE account between CN and global?

No. CN and global are separate servers with separate accounts, separate gacha history, and separate data. You cannot transfer progress, characters, or purchases between them. Pick one server and stick with it.

NTE CN vs Global Server: What's the Difference?

Neverness to Everness runs two separate servers — CN (published by Perfect World) and global. New players' most common question is which server to pick. This guide compares them across launch dates, banner order, pricing, ratings, and content differences so you can decide.

⚡Quick Answer

1.0 Launch: CN Apr 23, Global Apr 29 (CN first)

1.1+ Gap: Global ~8 days ahead of CN

TapTap Rating: CN 7.0 (55k+) vs Global 9.0 (660+)

Account Shared: No — separate, non-transferable

1. Launch Dates

Version	CN Server	Global Server	Gap
1.0 公测	2026-04-23	2026-04-29	CN 6d earlier
1.1 游梦洄廊	2026-05-28	2026-05-28	Synced
1.2 真红与残虹	2026-06-11	2026-06-03	Global 8d earlier
1.3（预计）	2026-07 上旬	2026-07 中旬	TBD

Note: CN launched first for 1.0, but from 1.2 onward global leads. Likely due to different review cadences between the two publishing tracks.

2. Banner Schedule

Both servers run the same banner character order, but dates shift ~8 days due to staggered version launches. Version 1.2 example:

Banner	CN Dates	Global Dates
Phase 1: Illica	6/11 – 6/25	6/3 – 6/17
Phase 2: Zhenhong	6/25 – 7/15	6/17 – 7/1

3. Rating Gap: Why Is CN Harsher?

TapTap ratings show the most visible server gap — CN 7.0 vs global 9.0, a 2-point chasm. The gap comes from three main factors:

Mobile optimization complaints concentrate on CN
CN has a higher mobile player share, so crash/lag/heat complaints are denser.
AI-art controversy hit global harder internationally
But locally translated into a 'sincerity' question on CN, hitting scores directly.
'Rabbit Hole' bug enforcement double standard
CN's biggest PR crisis in May — selective rollbacks seen as inconsistent enforcement, damaging reputation.

4. Pricing & Payments

The gacha system is identical on both servers (no 50/50, 90-pull pity, limited banner pity carries over). Pricing: CN is in CNY, global in USD/EUR/JPY etc. Monthly passes and battle passes convert within ~5% after FX. Spend tiers match across servers.

5. Content Differences

✅ Core gameplay, characters, story, maps — identical on both
✅ Collaborations — mostly synced (e.g. Porsche 918)
⚠️ Some side quests / text localization — minor differences due to review requirements
⚠️ Redeem codes — CN and global codes are NOT shared; claim separately
❌ Accounts, data, friends — completely separate
