If you watch Twitch or YouTube often, you may have noticed that streamers have started to play Grand Theft Auto V roleplay on NoPixel, how to join it, if possible?
What is NoPixel?
NoPixel is a popular Grand Theft Auto V server for roleplay, where instead of going on a killing spree, the players take the role of a character they create, every player has a character with a different story, job, personality, friendships, and so on.
For the roleplay to stay alive and enjoyable, there are rules for the server that everyone has to follow to ensure the experience isn't ruined, you have to act as your character and not take any advantage that isn't possible for your character at that moment, it's about the story.
Several games have roleplay, for example, Garry's Mod Dark RP and Conan Exiles RP, and every roleplaying game will also have rules, it's not something exclusive to NoPixel, although the rules and enforcement vary depending on the server you are playing.
How to join NoPixel
You can't join NoPixel right off the bat, and it's most likely that you won't be able to, there are two things to keep in mind if you want to join:
- NoPixel has a whitelist system, which means that you have to be whitelisted after submitting an application so you can join the server
- Often the NoPixel applications are closed for the public, so you have to be a donator to have the chance to be accepted into the server
- There are queues to join the server, and reportedly it can take hours to join a session if you have no priority
This is how you submit an application to join NoPixel:
- Go to NoPixel's website
- On the top, check if the Standard Whitelisting or Donator Whitelisting is open. If both are closed, you cannot submit your application at the moment
- If only the Donator Whitelisting is open, you will have to become a donator to have a chance to submit your application, you can check the donate page for that
- Create an account on NoPixel's website
- Find the forum thread for applications information, at the moment of this writing you can click here to check it
- Go to the Donator or Standard application and proceed with your application
Most roleplay servers want you to do your application yourself, so do not get external help or ask someone who is on the server to do it for you.
If you're considering donating just to try and get accepted into the server, keep in mind that it does not guarantee your approval, it still can be rejected, take a good read on NoPixel's rules and pay attention to your application.
You may take a look at the public servers on the right side of the website.
