# How to Join your Aloft Server

Learn how to join your Aloft server and dive into endless adventures in the skies. This guide will help you connect and start exploring! 

Aloft, a breathtaking survival game set in the skies, allows you to build, explore, and thrive with friends. After creating your Aloft server, the next step is joining it to begin your adventure. If you’re hosting the server or have been invited to one, this guide provides the foundational information you need to soar into the clouds together.

## Locate your Friend Code or Server Name

There are two ways to join your Aloft server, which are dependent on if you've set the server to be public or private. It is defaulted to public.

- If **private**, locate your server **Friend Code** on the Overview page of your servers Pro Panel.

- If **public**, locate the name you've given the server in your server control settings.

Make sure your game server is fully online. Once the server panel turns green and says Server Online, it will be joinable!

## Joining Your Server

1. Open your Aloft game and navigate to the main menu.
2. If you haven't already, **Create a Character** in order to unlock the Multiplayer section.

3. Once you have a character, select **Multiplayer** from the menu options.
4. Click **Join Game**.
5. To locate your public server, ensure that the **Server Region** is set to the region your server is located in. You should then be able to locate your server in the available server list.
