Every Mobile Legends fan has dreamed of getting their hands on unreleased heroes, new map changes, and limited test skins weeks before they drop for the general player base. The advanced server is the only official way to access this content, but far too many players try risky workarounds that get their main accounts banned permanently. I’ve been testing MLBB content on the advanced server for three years, and I’ve seen every possible mistake new applicants make. This guide breaks down exactly how to get into advanced server mobile legends the legal, low-risk way, no hacks or paid shortcuts required.
What Qualifications You Need to Get into Advanced Server Mobile Legends
Moonton doesn’t let every player join the advanced server, for good reason. The test server exists to catch bugs, balance new heroes, and gather feedback from experienced players before content rolls out to hundreds of millions of users. If you don’t meet the base requirements, your application will get rejected automatically, no matter how well you fill out the form.
The non-negotiable requirements include minimum account level of 30, which proves you have enough experience with core game mechanics to give useful feedback. You also need a 90+ in-game credit score with no recent reports for AFK, toxic chat, or intentional feeding, as Moonton doesn’t want disruptive players in the test environment. Finally, you need a linked and verified Moonton account, not just a guest or social media login, so the team can contact you about bug reports and track your activity on the test server.
There are also soft requirements that increase your odds of approval, even if they aren’t listed on the official application. Players who main more than one role, play at least 10 ranked matches a week, or have a history of submitting high-quality feedback on the formal server are far more likely to get accepted. Some regions also have limited slots for advanced server players, so if you live in a high-population area like Southeast Asia, you may face more competition than players in smaller regions.
Step-by-Step Process to Request Advanced Server Access
Once you confirm you meet all the base requirements, the application process only takes 5 minutes to complete. You don’t need to download any separate apps or pay any fees, and all steps happen directly in the official Mobile Legends app you already have installed. Follow these exact steps to avoid application errors:
- Open Mobile Legends and tap the profile icon in the top left corner of the main lobby
- Navigate to the "Account" tab on the sidebar, then look for the "Advanced Server" option at the bottom of the page
- Fill out the short application form, which asks for your play frequency, main role, and reason for wanting to join the test server
- Submit the form and wait for Moonton's approval notification, which usually arrives within 3 to 7 working days
The biggest mistake people make on the application is writing a generic reason for joining, like “I want new skins” or “I want to play new heroes first.” Be specific about your reason for applying, and focus on how you can help the development team, not just what you can get out of it. For example, writing “I play 15 ranked matches a week as a tank main, and I want to test new hero balance and submit detailed bug reports to help improve the game” will get you accepted far faster than a lazy one-sentence answer.
If your application gets rejected, don’t panic. You can reapply after 30 days, and you can update your application to include more details about your play history or feedback experience next time. Don’t make duplicate accounts to apply more often, as Moonton’s system flags repeated applications from the same device or IP address, and you’ll get blacklisted from applying entirely.
Key Rules to Follow Once You Join the Advanced Server
Getting accepted to the advanced server isn’t the end of the process. If you break the official test server rules, you’ll get kicked out immediately, and you may even face penalties on your formal server account. These rules are strictly enforced, so it’s critical to read them carefully before you start playing on the test server.
First, never share unreleased content on public social media. That means no TikTok clips of new heroes, no Twitter posts about upcoming skin lines, no Reddit threads discussing unannounced balance changes. Moonton uses automated tools to scan social media for leaked content, and they will ban you from the advanced server permanently if you’re caught sharing anything that hasn’t been officially announced yet. You also can’t stream advanced server gameplay on Twitch, YouTube, or any other public platform.
Second, you have to submit detailed bug reports through the in-game feedback tool whenever you run into glitches. The advanced server isn’t a free early access perk—it’s a work environment for testers. If you never submit any feedback during your time on the server, Moonton will remove your access to make space for players who are willing to contribute. When you submit a report, include screenshots, video clips, and a detailed description of what you were doing when the bug happened, so the dev team can fix it faster.
Third, remember that you can switch between formal and advanced server any time without affecting your main account progress. All of your skins, rank, and items on the formal server stay completely separate from the advanced server, so you don’t have to worry about losing anything when you switch. That said, you can’t transfer any items or currency from the advanced server to the formal server, so don’t waste real money buying skins or diamonds on the test server, as they will disappear when the test period ends.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Applying for Access
Even if you follow all the official steps, there are a few common mistakes that can get your application rejected or your access revoked. Most of these mistakes come from players trying to cut corners to get access faster, and they almost always backfire.
The most dangerous mistake is using third-party APKs or mod tools to bypass the application process and get into the advanced server without approval. These modified apps almost always contain malware, and Moonton’s anti-cheat system will detect them within minutes of you logging in. I’ve seen dozens of players lose their 5+ year old main accounts permanently for using these mods, and Moonton almost never reverses these bans. It’s never worth risking your main account just to play a new hero a few weeks early.
Another common mistake is lying on your application. If you say you’re a professional esports player or a content creator with 100k followers when you’re not, the Moonton team will check your profile and reject your application immediately. They don’t require you to be a famous player to join, so it’s always better to be honest about your play history and experience.
Finally, don’t go into the advanced server expecting it to be a perfect, bug-free experience. The whole point of the test server is that content is unfinished, so you will run into glitches, unbalanced heroes, and occasional server crashes. If you submit negative feedback just because you don’t like a new hero design, instead of reporting actual bugs, you’ll lose access faster than you think.
At the end of the day, getting access to the MLBB advanced server doesn’t require any special connections or expensive tools. If you’re a regular, experienced player who cares about helping improve the game, following the steps we laid out will help you get into advanced server mobile legends without risking your main account. Just remember to focus on submitting useful feedback and following the rules once you’re in, and you’ll get to enjoy all the unreleased MLBB content weeks before the rest of the player base.
