# Players FAQ

## How do I link my Discord account?
Linking your Discord and BeamMP account is a new feature to BeamMP. To do this you will need send `!link` as a message to the [BeamMP Accounts](https://discordapp.com/channels/@me/1201234743568634026/) bot.
The bot will respond with a link for you to sign into your BeamMP account. Simply sign in with your BeamMP account, once done you will receive a second message saying that it has successfully linked your accounts. 🎉

## How do I get early access?

Early access (including the purple nametag and other benefits) can be obtained by supporting us financially on [Patreon](https://patreon.com/BeamMP) by buying a tier, donating, or by boosting the Discord Server.
Donating **x** amount US$ = **x** additional server key(s) including EA benefits.
Boosting gives you +4 Server keys in addition to EA benefits.

## I subscribed on Patreon. How do I get my perks?

Please ensure you do the following to automatically receive your perks:

1. Link your Discord account on Patreon to receive the Roles and Access in the Discord server.
2. Please ensure you use the same email address on Patreon as you do for your BeamMP account on the [Forum](https://forum.beammp.com/).

Please be patient, it can take a few hours, sometimes up to 12, for the system to sync. If you have not received your perks after 12 hours and have completed the above steps please contact BeamMP support.
