# Account Creation

To create a new account, players must have a valid **Referral Code**.

* This code can be obtained from the person who introduced you to the game, or
* By joining our official **Telegram group**, where community members can share invitation codes.

This requirement helps foster organic community growth and ensures that every player joins through a trusted connection.
