I stopped lurking at Discord, once some kind members started posting the announcements here also, I just cannot get my head around the place.
As much as I try I just can't get myself to like that space, it's such a chaotic mess.
Plus I see no big difference with the forum in terms of activity, especially if you consider that they have joined all English speaking people under the same roof over there.
We've been told that Discord was created because there was little engagement on the forums but I don't get what kind of engagement they are hoping for with a game like Elvenar.
1. The game is rather simple and userfriendly at it's core especially for the first few chapters.
2. Most players are grouped into FS so if someone doesn't understand something they will ask their FS first
3. If they are not in a FS or their teammates don't have the answer they will look for it on the forum (or the FB group)
4. There are also some very good fan made pages that offer a lot of info, insight and advice.
5..Most people will come to "speak" in the forum (FB group) only if haven't found what they were looking for in the precious options.
The core of the forum is always going to be the 1% of player who just like to give feedback and suggestions and/or are chatty by nature and want to share their thoughts on the game with other enthusiasts.
It will be the same for discord. Might be a different 1% of people, because they prefer that way of communicating, but I really don't see how it can improve the numbers (again taking into account that they have merged En/US and Beta there).
