You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.

Yeah, I heard about too. I guess **** the little guys right?

I hope this MWO-Illuminati would pay for the game they are building for themselves, cause right now, I don't want to.

Discord is far better than a dead messageboard for discussing things

Message board is dead because the staff chooses not to participate in it. I even wonder the point of it if they are only listening to this super-secret illuminati discord anyways.

Lord nothing is right.

Discord exists as a chat room and is by nature transient. This means that anything said must be said with the intended recipient present to be heard. Sure they could theoretically scroll back but that requires effort and the chances of finding a relevant comment is like a needle in a hay stack given the subject matter can change by the hour.

There is also a compounding issue.

MWO doesn't have an official discord (at least not one that's advertised). So whose discord do they follow? I doubt they were randomly channel hopping, someone must have told them and they accepted the invite. Enter the age old conspiracy of only catering to a secret cabal of eSpurters and their compatriots.


Basically, unless you happen to be on the right discord, at the right time and associated with the cabal your chances of being heard are slim to none.

I don't see how that is any different from message boards.

Message boards are typically organised, categorised and with subforums and threads pertaining to specific subjects.

FORUMS -> MECHWARRIOR UNIVERSE -> GENERAL DISCUSSION -> Individual threads

If you took every thread in general discussion and made it into one single thread you'd have discord.


Discord only works for generalised discussions with a small population, or specific discussions with a focused group. Anything else becomes a shouting match.

"Chat rooms" are how discussion happens. Messageboards are not very good for it.

"Chat rooms" like discord also keep all their chats logged and visible.

"Chat rooms" like discord have multiple channels which are used to cover a wide variety of topics, that can be subdivided any number of ways.

"Secret cabal chat rooms" are open and free for all to enter and join. Always have been. https://discord.gg/6wxM5hC


Go on and yell and clouds more.

Care to show me where this one is openly advertised?

Secrecy through obscurity is still secrecy.

Go on, I'll wait.
