Free Fire is a popular battle royale game on mobile published by Garena in 2017. The game has millions of daily players from all around the world across many servers.
In order to preserve a good playing experience, servers are separated to prevent high ping problems as well as so Garena can make exclusive events for each region. The price for the same items in different severs is also varied.
This means that you will normally only be able to play in the server that near you the most and you won't be able to jump to another sever across the globe to play against players there or to get exclusive items from those severs. There is simply no option in the game that allows you to do that. But it also doesn't mean that it is impossible.
