Switching worlds on a Windrose server allows administrators to introduce entirely new environments and challenges, preventing gameplay from becoming repetitive for long-term players. This process enables the rotation of different map seeds or community-created terrains, ensuring exploration remains central and rewarding throughout the experience. Furthermore, changing worlds provides a clean slate for the server's economy and progression, which is often necessary to accommodate major game updates or to revitalize the competitive landscape.

Note: World ID names are tied to the game database and must remain the same.
