There are four worlds (servers): ローズ (Rose), シルバー (Silver), ダーク (Dark), and シャドウ (Shadow). Once you choose one, your account will be locked in to it. For a list of players on each world, see the Meguca Online Spreadsheet, which also contains the Suffering Calculator and Weapon Damage Calculator.

Troubleshooting

If you get the error pictured below while trying to open a Kyubey BOX, your inventory is full. You can have at most 30 of each type of card (weapons, clothes, accessories, skills). Sell some to make room, and then open the history screen from the lobby (icon: papers with quill pen). Go to the packages tab and collect the card that was withheld due to the inventory being full. After clearing your inventory and packages, Kyubey BOXes should work again.
If you get an Apache 2/CentOS test page, you may need to use a proxy to bypass IP blocks. Certain blocks only apply to the signup and login areas, so some users have been able to log in with proxies and switch to direct connections after world server selection screen.
- Try using the Nico client to play the game if your IP is blocked: http://app.nicovideo.jp/app/ap110
High server load can cause issues such as being stuck at a loading screen or getting stuck with a grayed out screen while trying to load a menu.
The game will load a large cinematic the first time you play. This can cause extended loading times in excess of 5 minutes, and you may need to relaunch the game if your connection to the server fails during loading, causing you to become stuck at the loading screen.
The chat and automessage systems don't allow some common characters such as spaces and periods. You'll get an error message if you try to use them.
- Allowed: ~`!@#&<>=
- Illegal: .$%^*()-,/':"?-- space
- Also allowed: ：。β★◆●【】※・ー一！）（「」┃○‐
If the game will not load after re-logging in after your first time, it might be because of your character name. Try creating a new account with a character name using only 'normal' characters (A-Z, Hiragana, Kanji, Katakana with no spaces, underscores or other funny characters). Might be related to the above point.
In-game mail from other players will be automatically deleted after 10 days.
Some presents, such as items found in quests while your inventory was full, will expire after a short time. Make sure to retrieve your presents quickly.
Presents from special events are often sent some time after maintenance ends, not immediately after the servers come up. Presents can expire before the time listed in the presents window entry.
Some users have found that the game runs better in Chrome than Firefox.
If you're getting disconnected frequently, avoid using flash-based sites in other browser tabs or running P2P applications in the background.
