Joining and creating a character

1. Signing up on the UCP

The UCP (User Control Panel) is the website where you manage your account, characters and property. You also sign in to the game with your UCP account, so you must sign up first.

1. Go to the UCP and click “Create account”.
2. Enter a username, password, nickname, country and email address, then enter the verification code sent to your email.
3. Submit the application. Staff review it and send you the result by email.

2. Installing FiveM and joining the server

FiveM is a free program that lets you play GTA V with other people on community servers.

1. Buy and install GTA V for PC, then start it once.
2. Download FiveM from fivem.net and install it.
3. Start FiveM. The first start takes a few minutes because it downloads the files it needs.
4. With FiveM running, join the server in one of the ways below.

1. The first time you join, a sign-in screen appears. Enter your UCP username and password to link this PC to your account.
2. From then on, joining takes you straight to character selection.

3. Character name

• You enter the first name and the last name separately, in English letters, and each must be 2–24 letters long.
• Only the first letter is a capital (for example John or Maria).
• Numbers, spaces and symbols are not allowed, but hyphens (-) and apostrophes (') are (for example Mary-Jane, O'Brien or McDonald).
• You may not use the name of a celebrity, a film or game character, a nickname or an ordinary word.

4. Looks and unseen features

• You choose your character’s looks, such as gender, face, hair and clothes, on the character creation screen.
• You write features the screen cannot show, such as height, build, scars or smell, in the game with /attributes.
• You can read another player’s features with /ex ID.
