Membership FAQs

Has membership changed? +

Yes! And it's never been easier to get signed up and involved with the game we all love.

Previously, members needed to create a free account, and then buy an additional licence depending on what they wanted to do in the game, and at what level.

This process has now been streamlined into three catch all membership levels, Performance, Participant and Supporter.
