Getting Started
Welcome to Lebuhraya. This page walks you through your first session — from joining the server to earning your first Ringgit (BR) and picking up your first job.
What is Lebuhraya?
Lebuhraya is a driving roleplay experience set on a Malaysian highway. Drive cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses between three main regions. Take jobs — from food delivery to firefighting — to earn Ringgit and level up. Buy a house, join a convoy with friends, or just cruise.
The name "Lebuhraya" means "highway" in Malay.
Your first minute
When you join for the first time you spawn on the Visitors team with:
- 1000 BR (Ringgit) starting balance — tracked but not yet used. The currency system is planned, not live (see Economy and XP for details). For now, everything is free.
- Level 1, 0 XP
- No vehicle (you'll spawn one from the menu)
Look around the HUD:
- Top-left: your current balance, level, and XP progress bar
- Top-right: the Phone icon (tap to open apps and 999 emergency)
- Bottom: the Settings and Main Menu icons
Spawning your first vehicle
- Open the MyPod menu (the vehicle spawner). On desktop, the icon is on the topbar; on mobile, it's in the top-right cluster.
- Browse the vehicle list. Free starter vehicles are available to everyone.
- Select one and click Spawn. Your vehicle appears in front of you.
Walk up to the driver door and press F (keyboard), X (gamepad), or tap the Drive button (mobile) to sit.
Driving and earning your first XP
You earn XP just by driving. Every 1500 studs you travel in a driver seat awards you 50 XP. That's enough to pass through a level 1 → 2 boost in about 20 minutes of casual cruising. There's no penalty for slow driving — keep the vehicle moving and the XP ticks in.
Want to go faster?
- Do jobs — each completed action awards bonus XP
- Drive with friends in a convoy — up to +50% XP bonus
- Activate an XP Boost token from your inventory for 2× XP
- Weekend events occasionally double everyone's XP
Picking your first job
You can't pick a job on your first day — most jobs unlock by level. Your first milestone is Level 10, which unlocks the Food Delivery team. It's the fastest way to start earning consistent BR.
Here's the free-and-early progression:
| Unlock | Team / Feature |
|---|---|
| Start | Bus Driver, Visitors |
| Group member (1143446) | Malaysians team (Fishing, Checkout) |
| Level 10 | Food Delivery |
| Level 25 | Waste Disposal |
| Level 50 | Post Office |
| Level 75 | Logistics (Trucking) |
See Teams and Careers for the full list and Jobs for what each one actually does.
What happens when I crash?
Vehicles take damage when you hit things. Badly-damaged vehicles can be towed by a KEMRonda player or repaired at the Gravstone Workshop in Bandar Seri Putra. If you get stuck somewhere, you can always despawn your vehicle from the MyPod menu and spawn a new one.
A note about test servers
If you join a Studio test server or a private server, you'll see a warning that "XP will be reset to 0." This is normal — test servers don't save progress so developers can test fresh. On the live game, your XP and BR are saved automatically when you leave.
