How to Connect to Honor of Kings: World Server

Honor of Kings: World has officially launched. This new title centers on open-world action gameplay and currently only has Chinese servers. Many Honor of Kings players want to join but find that the servers often fail to connect or they cannot connect at all. This article shares effective solutions for resolving connection issues to the Honor of Kings: World Chinese servers.

Why Is It Difficult to Connect to Honor of Kings: World Servers?

First, let’s address one question: does the Honor of Kings: World server block overseas players from logging in? The answer is no. The game does not impose IP restrictions, but it does require accounts: you must log in with a QQ or Mainland China WeChat account that has completed real-name verification.

So what exactly causes the connection problems? We believe there are several reasons:

1. Server Location: Chinese servers are hosted in mainland China. Connecting from outside the country means longer data travel distance, resulting in high latency.
2. Cross-Border Network Restrictions: International traffic passes through congested cross-border gateways, causing packet loss, timeouts, and connection failures.
3. ISP Routing Issues: Your ISP may route traffic through inefficient paths, adding unnecessary hops and delays before reaching the server.
4. Local Network Instability: Weak Wi-Fi, background bandwidth usage, or an overcrowded network can break an already fragile cross-border connection.

Methods to Successfully Connect to Honor of Kings: World Servers

When it comes to connection problems, many players immediately think of VPNs, but we do not recommend them. We instead recommend using a game-specific network optimization tool like GearUP. It differs significantly from a VPN and focuses on:

• Network node adjustment, i.e., path optimization
• Handling only game traffic so other software is unaffected
• Per-game-server precise optimization
• Cross-platform support, including a GearUP Mobile version that supports Honor of Kings: World mobile

GearUP

GearUP is simple and easy to use; all players can handle it without manually changing network settings.

1. Search for Honor of Kings:World and click Boost, currently the game only has Chinese servers.
   
2. Start boosting. GearUP will provide continuous network optimization in the background; you only need to launch the game.
   

Avoid Local Network Impact

Many players overlook local network settings or usage, which leads to unstable connections or higher latency in Honor of Kings: World. Check for:

1. Many locally running programs or devices consuming network bandwidth, crowding the game’s traffic and causing disconnects.
2. Connection to a very unstable Wi‑Fi band with fluctuating signal strength, which can produce sudden latency spikes.
3. Device power‑saving mode being enabled, causing reduced performance and affecting the connection.

Why We Don’t Recommend Using VPNs?

A VPN might seem like a quick fix, but it usually makes things worse. It adds an extra server hop to an already long cross-border journey, which increases your ping instead of reducing it. VPN servers are shared by many users, so they get congested during peak hours, leading to packet loss, sudden disconnects, and ping spikes. Many games, including Honor of Kings: World, can detect VPN traffic and either block your connection or flag your account. On top of that, free or cheap VPNs often lack proper encryption, putting your login credentials and personal data at risk. In short, a VPN adds more problems than it solves for cross-border gaming.
