Servers

Official registered Riot servers (2015).

Riot Games provides servers to host various aspects of League of Legends. These include but are not limited to logins, games, chat, the RP Store, the in-game shop, etc.

Riot Games Servers

To help solve the problems of high-latency caused by long distances and to avoid language barrier issues, Riot Games hosts multiple servers around the world.

There are a few servers around the world that are not run by Riot. For example, Southeast Asia (SEA) servers are run by Garena, a Riot Games partner. Chinese servers are run by Tencent, Riot's parent company.

• African server (Frequently requested).

• Middle East & North Africa server (Frequently requested).

Transferring to another server

When creating a game account, the player must choose a server to use, which is usually the server to which their country belongs. Once created, the account belongs solely to the server in which was created, with the login credentials being invalid for other servers.

In order to play with the same account in another server, a transfer can be purchased in the Riot Store.

Generally, transfers to other servers hosted by Riot will cost 2600. RU, TR, BR, LAN and LAS servers do not have transfers to some other servers. Some servers do not have transferability: KR game accounts require national ID credentials, while servers SEA and CN are hosted by third party companies.
