Maybe the forum will grow on me, but so far it's been Discord.

Discord is undoubtedly superior; but for MMORPGs it just feels right to use forums.

The forums are way better since posts here are easier to find, refer to and will likely include more detail. Ideally both should be used regularly so we can reach as many people as possible.

I prefer the forums, given they are active enough!

Discord all day everyday

I'm hoping the forums become as reliable of a news source as discord is with the new CM team @MargaretKrohn @LieutenantToast

It'd be nice to not have to be on discord at all, even as PI!

@tugowar I like both, mostly because I see it faster on discord when gaming, but forums give such a good feeling when reading it xD

It totally depends on the content of the subject and the context of situations....

I think the forum is a better place for bigger announcements, but Discord is best for immediate updates as it seems to be the superior platform for an active userbase.

Discord is a faster way to get informed of news and announcements. But from a community perspective I've always preferred forums.

Yay @tugowar good to see you! And I prefer Discord! Very interactive, but forums have a good niche.

It's true though. I personally hope the two will be updated at the same time and given love and attention to equally.

I used to love browsing forums 10 or so years ago, it was a nice pace from the speed of live chat.

However, seeing as everyone feels the need to start their own thread dedicated to asking one or two questions [most of which have been asked before many times], it turns into a cesspool of random 4-reply threads and nothing is organized because it simply can't be.

It's a shame, but hopping on discord to check announcements or ask someone in general chat a quick question is a lot easier.

I prefer FORUMS, as you can always go back thru and pick up info for reference if you need, or if you've been away for awhile to catch up. On Discord, you can miss vital information very easily.
