Before you ask

Questions we get a lot

If something here is unclear, ask in Discord — we would rather explain it than have you guess.

Before you join

Do I need experience with roleplay?
Not at all. A large part of our community had never touched an RP server before MoonHaven. Roleplay here is light and optional - you can spend an entire evening decorating a house and that counts.
Do I need to own GTA V?
Yes. You need a legal copy of Grand Theft Auto V on PC, plus the free FiveM client. Everything else is on us.
Is the server whitelisted?
Yes. Join our Discord, fill out the short application in the become-a-citizen channel, and staff will review it. It is short on purpose - we are not asking you to write an essay.
Is the server new?
We are new and growing, which is the best possible time to arrive. Early players shape the city, and we build the features our community asks for.
Does it cost anything?
Playing is free, and nothing that affects gameplay is ever sold - no pay-to-win. There is one exception, and only one: bringing your own car into the city costs $10 per vehicle, up to two. That is the only thing here you ever have to pay for, and it is the only thing there will ever be.
Are there battle passes or login rewards?
Yes, and they are free. Passes and daily login rewards are coming, and none of them will ever cost real money - the most anything will ever cost is in-game money, or a currency you earn in the city. You earn them by turning up and playing, not by paying. Bringing your own car stays the one and only thing on this server that costs anything real.

Bringing your own car

Two per person, and the only thing here that costs money. Worth reading before you buy anything.

Can I bring my own car?
Yes - up to two, subject to approval, at $10 per vehicle. That fee pays for the work of getting the car into the city and keeping it running, and it is the only thing on the whole server that costs real money. Some cars are marked "1 of 1", meaning that car exists once in the city and always will. It does have to be unbranded and lore-friendly - see below. Open a Custom Vehicles ticket in Discord and we will take it from there.
Can I share my car with someone?
Yes - with one other person. A partner, a best friend, whoever it is; the two of you can both use it and nobody else can. It is still 1 of 1, because that counts cars rather than drivers: there is one of it in the city and there always will be. And because you can have two vehicles, the choice is made per car - share both, share one, share neither. Entirely up to you.
What kind of cars do you accept?
Unbranded and lore-friendly ones. Unbranded means no real-world logos or trademarks anywhere on it - no manufacturer badges, no sponsor decals, no real brands in the livery. Lore-friendly means it looks like it belongs in Los Santos rather than something imported from another game. The two go together more often than you would think: a real GTA model reworked is usually both at once. What we cannot take is a licensed real-world car wearing its own badges. If you are not sure which side yours falls on, send it in a ticket before you buy anything and we will tell you.
How do I actually get the car to us?
One of two ways, depending on where it came from. If you bought it from a creator and it is escrowed, it has to be transferred to our Cfx.re account in your Keymaster - ours is NataMoonie. If it is a free or open download, or something you made yourself, just send us the files. Ask in your ticket if you are not sure which one you have; it is a quick thing for us to check. Worth knowing before you decide: transferring a licence to us takes it off your account for good. If you would rather keep your own copy, some stores let you buy a second one as a gift straight to our account - you keep yours, we get ours.
Is there a time limit on transferring a car to you?
Yes, and it is worth knowing before you buy. Cfx lets an escrowed asset move to another account exactly once, and only within 28 days of buying or claiming it. After that the transfer button stops working, the move cannot be undone once it is made, and buying the car a second time does not restart the clock. So do not sit on it - buy the car and transfer it soon after. If the 28 days have already passed, some stores let you buy a copy as a gift straight to our account instead, which sidesteps the whole thing. Free downloads have none of this - they are just files.
Why does a car cost money when nothing else does?
Because a car we add stays on the server, and the server is not infinite. Every vehicle is more files sitting there permanently, space costs money, and enough imported cars eventually means paying for a bigger one. The $10 covers that, plus the work of getting the car in and keeping it running through updates. It is not there to make money - it is the one cost that grows with what people bring, so it is the one thing we ask people to cover. Everything else is on us and stays that way.
What happens to my car if I leave?
We take it off the server. That is a promise and it holds no matter why you left, how you left, or how things ended - you will not have to ask twice or chase us for it. What we cannot do is hand the car back to you. Cfx allows a licence to move accounts exactly once and never again, so once it has been transferred to us it cannot be transferred anywhere, including back - that is their rule, not ours, and nobody can reverse it. If your car was a free or open download this does not apply at all: you still have your own files and nothing was ever taken from you. The $10 is not refunded either - it paid for work that was already done. If you would rather not give up your own copy, see the question above about buying a second one as a gift.

Still stuck?

Ask in Discord. There is no wrong question, and someone is usually around.
