What's going on with this? There is an in game message stating it is set to start in less than 12 hours but there is absolutely no other information here about it. I figured they would be trying to hype it up, considering how long people have been asking/waiting.
Im sure if you join the Discord server you will get more information.
Yes more info is on Discord. No it isn't an official launch, more of a functionality test while running 2 game worlds simultaneously.
See telling you they have moved everything to Discord!
Discord is okay for a single KD, but it's a total cluster**** for what they're using it for. It also seems odd that the "official" communication is coming through a 3rd party app rather than on the website of the game itself.
Yea, way too many channels, another reason to add why irc is prefered over Discord. It seems silly that they have chosen to use Discord das their platform of communication but what other conclusions is there to be drawn really? As you can see I have not recieved any response on clarification on the matter when asked.

Discord has a lot of advantages, but nothing is perfect. There may be a lot of channels, but there are not a lot of categories (a category can be muted in it's entirety if you don't want to be bothered with it). We want to find a way to easily bring community members together and at the moment Discord has proven useful in that regard. It's easy to join, it's easy to communicate with, it's easily accessible via mobile devices and it may become more useful to us in the future. There is no requirement to join Discord, but it has over 1000 users on it currently and is a great place to communicate in real-time with people. The choice is yours.
Anyway, come join us in testing Multi-World Functionality!
The only reason you even saw this thread is because the words Genesis and Generals are visually similar.Quote:

For an old-school, going on Discord is like going to some grindcore party while having the hangover of your life. 20 seconds and you`re out, praying that if you survive the day, the next day you`re off to a monastery. Of course, my opinion is subjective and the whole thing is a matter of taste and preference. But I am, however, pretty positive, that out of the hundreds of communication platforms out there, you could have found a friendlier, cozier, simpler one.Quote:

I'm not quite sure I understand your comparison, it may be because I view Discord differently and don't get the reference. Regardless, Discord is quite simple and provides a small sense of security with our settings. You can join the server by the simple click of a link which, if you don't have an account already, requires only an email address to register for an account and you're instantly ported to the platform (via app or web browser) where (at the time of this posting) normally has ~200 online users to chat with in real-time.Quote:

However, the best parts of Discord are still being worked on by us. It may provide us a portal to integrate a global chat system to in-game users and a private chat for Kingdoms (in-game in-browser) with no downloads or 3rd party plug-ins that would replace reverbIM.
Anyway, I've found a lot of advantages to using Discord at this time and there is a lot of potential still untapped. There are of course disadvantages but that comes with anything and no one is being forced to join Discord but we do want the community and users to know that it is available.
Nobody is forced to join but all you people do is communicate via Discord.
Getting rid of ReverbIM would be neat.
Kinda cool, kinda fun. But it'd be nice if they cleaned up wol first, get rid of the p2p 3rd party bots and get more players into the game before they try to split the little player base they have into 2 different servers. Seems like a waist of time, especially when the original game needs so much work. Thoughts...
Split... waist. /gigglesQuote:

new gen sucks go back to the 1st test where ticks were 3mins or something much less than 10 mins
First test was 30 second ticks iirc. Felt that was too fast.
If you joined its 29 seconds too much
Thats what your wife said.
Please don't insult users
it is no fun when half server is sage
bring more variables to the table plz
thank you for your efforts
some kds have 7 players, many of rest 3-4. is it intended?
It's also no fun when people are fake warring and using other accounts to hit people down so they can crown on a test server. I tried it for a bit, but I'll just stick to WoL.Quote:

We're currently testing multi-worlds on our staging environment... a REAL genesis age won't start for at least several weeks still, but you're welcome to get in on the test server.

This is complete BS, and the agitators know this and choose to keep chirping.
Discord works despite what you all say, and leaves these forums less cluttered with vitriol. I find it sad that you all can't find the "collapse channel" and "mute channel" options on the platform despite coming here and bragging about how smart you all are. I personally have like 8 channels that update me to new messages out of the 30+ channels available; you all just have to get with the times, and stop acting like children.

when does test start again?
