A [[district]] is an [[instance]] zone within towns or outposts. When a certain number of people (roughly 150) are in a [[city]] or [[outpost]], a new district is opened up to prevent latency (lag). Districts are completely identical. They are numbered, starting from one, to as high as they need to go to prevent any one district from becoming full. Players can change their district (if more than one exists) via the [[District List|district list]] in the top left corner of the screen. This list is also available when using [[map travel]]. In the European [[territory]] there are by default multiple districts for different languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Polish and Russian). Players are placed by default into a district that matches the language that is set in their game's options. There are also international districts where players from different territories can meet. |

It seems to be largely based on your home country i.e: US characters get better drop rates and item quality in US districts, UK better in Euro, Etc. International districts seem to go either way with this, being lesser drop rates, or more. However, all of this could be purely coincidental. |

It is possible to observe split districts after a [[game update]] that involves modification to the actual executable file (a new build).

A district is an instance zone within towns or outposts. When a certain number of people (roughly 150) are in a city or outpost, a new district is opened up to prevent latency (lag). Districts are completely identical. They are numbered, starting from one, to as high as they need to go to prevent any one district from becoming full. Players can change their district (if more than one exists) via the district list in the top left corner of the screen. This list is also available when using map travel. In the European territory there are by default multiple districts for different languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Polish and Russian). Players are placed by default into a district that matches the language that is set in their game's options. There are also international districts where players from different territories can meet.
