The World Pass system was created to ensure that people would have the opportunity to enjoy the world of Vana'diel with their friends without having to replay the Character Creation process until they were randomly placed on the same World. However, there were occasions where people may want a World Pass regardless if they know someone on that server or not. This portion of the World Pass process was removed and rendered obsolete in an update that allowed players to select the server they want to start on directly in the character creation process. However, Gold World Passes are still available, see below.

A new character may be aware of the Vana'diel Adventurer Recruitment Program and wish to join on a Gold World Pass for the rewards and benefits associated with it. This feature is still active and running, and a very viable way to start your first character.

Gold World Pass[]

If possible, you'll definitely want a Gold World Pass because of the rewards and benefits associated with it. The Gold World Pass was introduced with the creation of the Vana'diel Adventurer Recruitment Program, a program designed to encourage people to invite their friends to Vana'diel and granting exclusive rewards for doing so. However, unlike a standard World Pass there are eligibility requirements in order for it to work.

Gold World Pass Requirements, Limitations, Rewards & Benefits
As with the World Pass you must have an active Content ID so that you can create a character in FFXI but you must have no other characters on your account. If you've previous had characters that you deleted, the Gold World Pass will still work. The only requirement is that there are no characters listed so that when you create a new character so it is the only character being created on that account at that time. Like a standard World Pass the ten-digit number will be valid for one earth week from purchase, however it will only be valid for one use and the price will always remain at a static 1000 gil to purchase it. If you eligible for a Gold World Pass it is a very good idea to obtain one if possible. You'll begin your adventure with twelve opportunities to try out Chocobo riding immediately, and after 40 days you and your inviting friend will be eligible for unique hats that allow you to enchant yourselves to the same level. After 100 days and 365 days you become eligible to receive unique furniture rewards exclusive to the Vana'diel Adventurer Recruitment Program, or choose from a list of other popular items that were rewarded in previous seasonal events.

How to Request a Gold World Pass[]

By now, you may want a Gold World Pass and you are certain that you meet the requirements for one. If you don't know anyone that can give you a Gold World Pass, the next step is to make a request for it.
