Hi, more and more users here use Discord. Why won't you (points at MonkeyIsland) replace all of the ancient communicators and replace them with i.e. Discord.

Also, official Discord server would be nice, most of us sit in goom's server

We don't have discord here. What's discord ID format?
Due to massive misunderstandings: MonkeyIsland refers to an island not a monkey. I would be a monkey, if my name was IslandMonkey meaning a monkey who is or lives on an island. MonkeyIsland is an island which is related to monkeys. Also there's been a legend around saying MonkeyIsland is a game. So please, think of me as an island or a game.

We got few discords going.

- Goom's "total wormage" have highest number of ppl, but plenty of them never play or communicate.
- "W:Addicts" made by Abegod and Artec, same group name as the one in skype where lot of us played on daily basis, not really populated atm.
- mine that was made for twitch purposes, but mostly wormers habitate around it. We have fair amount of funner games with voice chat going on lately but it's not constant.

Community is probably smallest since 1999, so we could make official W:A discord where everyone should transfer instead of dividing for no reason. MI should put image hyperlink on visible spot in TUS and ppl will join, for sure.

you mean usernames? For example mine is "h3oCharles#5397", where h3oCharles is username that I can specify myself and 5397 is a discriminator - a number that you can't change unless you get a subscription - Discord Nitro. You can spot the difference between multiple people with same nickname, like there are multiple people with username "ghost" but none of them have the same discriminator. Oh, and we can change our display names per "server" as well, so I could call myself TheMadCharles if I have permission to do so.

We got few discords going.
You forgot about Proof of Concept's as well xd

I meant what is needed for discord here? Just a text field for discord username is enough?

One of them is in my forum signature down below.
We tend to voice chat during EU nights/US afternoons.
Sock and salty are frequent for few rr's and small talk. Join us.

agreed, ive seen other (much larger) gaming communities fragment due to this; single would be nice for a change, we're small enough as is!

here's the 'Total Wormage' W:A Discord, just passed 100 members. Sensei is correct that there are some inactive, but the server itself moves along fine. you're welcome to join if you'd like - voice chat while playing is a lot of fun. :)
(if anybody else is into W:A streaming, i can give you 'streamer' role for visibility.)

Haha. You said lot of times you don't want to give out that discord link in public.
But as soon as I shouted out other server, you seem to changed longterm opinion, goom!  ;)

Doesn't matter tho, as long wormers are interested in doing some voice and games.
