Question: What is the difference between an open community-created server and an Allowlisted community-created server?
Answer: Open community-created servers can generally be joined without receiving access first. Allowlisted servers restrict access until the server owner or their team grants permission.
Open servers
Open community-created servers do not require you to be added to an allow list before joining. You may still need to accept the server rules, configure voice chat, or complete other onboarding steps set by the server.
Allowlisted servers
An Allowlisted community-created server restricts who can connect. The method for receiving access is decided by the community-created server owner or their team. Depending on the server, access may involve:
- Receiving a role in the community-created server community
- Responding to a message or completing a simple onboarding step
- Submitting an application
- Completing an interview
- Receiving an invitation or direct approval
Note: Allowlisted only describes how access is controlled. It does not indicate the quality of roleplay, the structure of the community, or how the server rules are enforced.
