Posted September 5 Discord, albeit a popular platform, has regrettably become a breeding ground for toxicity and distractions, which often overshadow meaningful discussions. Our observation indicates that the real-time nature of Discord facilitates impulsive reactions, fostering a climate that can be unfavorable for constructive dialogue. It has been an uphill battle trying to maintain the quality and professionalism in the Discord server which, unfortunately, has not been conducive to the respectful and insightful community we aim for. By contrast, our forums offer a more structured and moderated space, where discussions can be followed more easily, and users are more encouraged to think before they post. This shift in focus will also enable us to centralize our resources and attention to one platform in the future, enhancing the quality and responsiveness of our community engagement. After much consideration, we will be discontinuing the active maintenance of our official Discord server, limiting its use to essential announcements only. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. 1 Share this post Link to post
Posted September 5 I get the trolling is annoying but that's discord in a nutshell, but the forums are effectively dead and you nuked general over a couple of legitimate questions/constructive ideas. That is overkill 1 Share this post Link to post

Posted September 6 Did you not learn from me that arrogantly posting screen shots from the post 2011+ versions of the game is not a good look? Humble yourself. 0 Share this post Link to post

Posted September 9 (edited) Hello Gummy! Thank you for providing a home for us pre-nerf 2.0 loving TBC nutjobs. We recently split to form two guilds to give options to future players joining the server. With the discord channels being gone for very valid reasons that you and your team have explained, it has become increasingly harder to recruit new players. I noticed that there are a good 10-20 people that join the discord daily and if there was a #guild-recruitment channel in discord that both of the guilds could give you one post to frame there permanently, it would go a long way to giving new players information on who to contact for a guild invite. We would not need any permissions for this channel and it could be chat locked so no one could post, but just having something for people that join the discord to see that there are active guilds on the server would be hugely beneficial to Felmyst. Additionally, I have noticed a plethora of new players playing that do not see my in-game recruitment post. I believe this is because World chat is not enabled by default. Not everyone that joins the server knows to instinctively type "/join world" or "/join global" if they are new to the WoW Private Server community, so I think this small change could have a big effect on new players being able to see players typing/recruiting in World chat. My in-game name is Cryptori. Edited September 9 by Sardar504 1 Share this post Link to post

The automatic message that every player sees upon login states to join world via '/join World', if a player wants to then they will. Not everyone wants to opt in and some don't, nothing else can be said. 1 Share this post Link to post

I have now edited the post to its permanent form. Since making that recruitment post for our guild Last Call, I nor our officers have received any new signups on our discord or messages to the personal discords of the guild officers that are labeled on that post. Is there anyway we can get you to copy/paste the final form of our recruitment post onto the #guild-recruitment channel in discord? Unfortunately we only reach a smaller audience through the forums, it would really help to get a permanent post with our discord link directly on the Felmyst discord #guild-recruitment channel. There would be no maintenance required on the post, as recruitment needs change we can just tell people that join our discord individually. Thanks again for responsiveness and we will continue to push progression on Felmyst 3! P.S. I made sure the discord link on our forum post is a permanent link that never expires and no invite limit.
