I agree with others about Discord being a bit of a forum killer nowadays. Even enjin forums kinda ran out of use because of it, and so this, except apparently for Balmung players?
Somehow people seem to find Discord more handy and convenient, I myself agree with Kylin instead:
I like structure, i like having different posts for different things, a search engine, something I can consult easily instead of having to scroll up the chat log. I like Discord as a chat, as it's meant to be, but I think outside of chatting forums are the most practical. In a forum, everything is stored, you can also find old lore discussions, in a chat everything gets lost in the void after a bit. Permanent vs instant.
As an Omega player I can confirm it's the same as Mateus, there's a Discord server and all goes there. But it's kinda a limbo as FC/LS info are not complete there as they are not here. A lot of them just seem to have no interest in reaching out the bigger community outside of game to recruit perhaps? The events only get posted on the Discord instead. I honestly don't even know if new players know about this forum, even though google search still leads to it, or if they just don't care about forums.

Maybe I'm just old and archaic, but I fail to see how discord is more convenient than forums aside from general discussion topics. Finding a LS/FC on discord as opposed to a forum is a nightmare for a myriad of reasons. Events are easier to miss as opposed to those posted here. Character sheets/bios are much better laid out on the wiki. But eh, what can you do? I sighed a bit inwardly when I saw a Mateus RPC site sprout up recently as well, knowing full well what the end result will be with that endeavor already.
