Purchasing your Permits

  1. Welcome, new player! And glory to the federation! To begin, select the Immigrant team from the team selection menu & approach the document selling NPCs, where you are able to purchase a Passport and Entry Permit. If you are working, be sure to purchase a Work Permit, and if you possess any weapons, you must purchase a Firearms Permit. 1a. When you arrive at the booth, you will be prompted by a booth agent to state the reason for your entry. If you plan on entering the City for the reason of ‘Work’, a Work Permit will be required alongside a normal permit. In addition, if you have any crates you must state proper reasoning aswell, and finally your guns must be properly licensed with the firearms permit and you must have a valid reason for carrying them.

Being processed at the border

  1. As you exit the Immigrant team’s spawn, the train station, you should be able to follow the Red arrows, located on the floor, towards the border. From there, you are expected to join the line and wait to enter the booth.

  2. While you are in line be sure to stay on top of your very own red pad and between the white lines, and only moving up after the person in front of you moves up or there is free space. While you are in line be sure to not pull out any weapon as this may prompt our soldiers to issue lethal action. Be sure not to cut the line or be too close to somebody, give them space.

  3. Upon entering the booth, you will be prompted by an Admissions Inspector who will ask you to present your Papers, and ask you a series of questions about your immigration. Please refer to point 1a. under ‘Purchasing an Entry Permit’) for more information regarding the reason for entry into the city.

  4. If the inspector deems your immigration as non-malicious, your answers as valid and satisfy the active regulations, they will accept you into the city. From there, you may adventure to do as you please. Some activities you may take part in include robbing stores, the bank, working jobs & visiting the job fair.
