How Do I Access FiveM?

• Add FiveM to your antivirus exclusion list after installation.
• Download and run FiveM from your start menu.

Creating a Character for RP

The best part about role-playing GTA5/FiveM RP is that you can create a real sense of self from the ground up. Before you do anything, developing a backstory for your character is highly recommended, and you can do this by directly posting on tons of online servers. It’s important to note that other players will be able to see your back story, so make sure to create one you wouldn’t mind others seeing.

Important Rules

Follow similar guidelines regarding rules to follow. First, power gaming is a big one. In short, it is described as “doing an action that is unrealistic or forcing a player to do a certain action.” For example, say a player initiates a command that results in shooting another player, and the player being shot at responds with a command saying, “dodged all the bullets.” It is unrealistic and not allowed in the online community, so follow accordingly.

The next rule is called meta-gaming. Basically, when you are on, you are not allowed to speak to other players in a way that is considered out of character when it comes to your backstory. You are only permitted to know information that your character would know in-game, and it is essential not to acknowledge real-world details. For example, if you hear on Discord something going on at a certain point on the map, you can’t mention anything in-game unless you are actually at that location. Speaking out of character destroys the role-playing feel and isn’t allowed.

Follow the rules and have a great time.
