My small group of friends plans to play here and we have been talking about this pretty much nonstop. Here are a few of the thoughts we have come to:
The discord server should probably be referred to as the "Yellow" server to round out the primary colors with Blue and Red.
People will deal with the "sub-cheating" like saccing kills to foster points but so far it appears the number one outcry of the newly forming community is that major cheating like the use of SEQ, warping, speedhacks etc will ruin this endeavor and ultimately drive away all the worth-while players. Most of my group are from Red and we know all too well of the texture-hacks and how little has been done about it. We understand that the premise of this server is a place with minimal to no GM involvement but hacking has to be enforced somehow.
People seem to be very passionate about the forced-anon issue. Personally I love the idea. As we figure it there will be little to no community outside of guilds. Noone in their right mind is going to agree to meet someone else with a ton of items/plat anywhere for an exchange unless theres a previous bond of trust. Back to the original point I don't feel like this will take away from anything because just like the original Discord server most people will probably settle out at 20-24 and farm noob kills as thats much more point efficient than trying to track down the proven best of the best on the server.
People also seem passionate about the Hyrbrid penalty. I really don't understand this one as with a 500% solo exp modifier it shouldn't matter to begin with
I've already gone into detail about how I feel a forum for Discord would be a good idea, facilitating communication will be key here. If the server will only be live for two months, let us start planning/researching/sharing info now please.
I'm very excited for this opportunity, thank you to the staff that makes this possible!
