Impact of Race Status (Race Values)
Choosing a race affects stats such as STR, INT, etc., but it's within the margin of error, so it's okay to choose based on appearance.

[Cute Character Creation] There's character creation resembling popular races.

Guardian Deities, Birthdays
Anything is okay. No impact on the game.

[DC, World, Class Selection]
Now you can teleport between worlds and data centers, so you can visit other servers no matter which one you choose.

MANA has the highest population, but there's an issue with logging in immediately after a new patch. Currently, it's restricted.

GAIA has a decent population. Many Vtubers.

ELEMENTAL has many foreigners, so there may be communication issues aside from GT.

METEOR has a similar number of Japanese players as GAIA.
