TOPIC: An official discord server

Discord is so much better but most people can't handle change.

Discord does not have any channel specific text channels, but you can make text channels that only certain Ranks can access/see such as Gang ranks or TS Staff

Exactly

TS3 was good for it's time 2010 - 2012 but has since lacked innovation

discord is so easy to dump all your memes on

When you have as much money as chute a team speak server is a drop in the lake

Most of the money goes into the servers

The servers cost a lot of money, I don't think you or anyone but Chute knows how much he makes and spends on the servers.

All ye need on TS is a VPN and a new identity, which just means clicking a button, so it's much easier on TS

I know this is an old quote but I think it failed then because Discord wasn't as well known I guess. Now it's huge and most people use it, so people would be more comfortable switching to it

Should I set one up quick then hand it over to a LT member to give out the ranks, then see how it goes from there? That way it doesn't waste the time of anyone important, and don't worry i'll do it properly lmao

Yeah, that's what I thought. I don't use TS often so I'm not sure how creating a new "account" would work - but I reformatted on my computer and had to be provided with my admin rank again, lol.

Thank you for this ultra-constructive post that clearly states why you believe TS3 should be used over discord, discussing both the positives and addressing the negatives of said situation.

Honestly, I think this idea should be re-proposed. I just started playing Zarp the time of that post and didn't even use discord (skype days!)


From a perspective of a year-long discord user, I can see some definite pros and cons over TS3:

Pros:

-Overlay is much easier to use, including but not at all limited to:
-Visually cleaner, more beautiful looking
-Organized roles
-Organized chat/voice channels
-Giving/taking permissions
-Announcing/pinning messages about important zarp-related info
-Lessened ability of ban evading
-Organized roles
-Organized chat/voice channels
-API of bots is extremely easy to use
-Giving players a new server to moderate
-Gangs have an increased ability of communication
-Zarp community becomes more inter-connected, with new chat and voice channels
-Easier to set up than TS3 for users


Cons:

-Initial setup
-Possibility of looking slightly crowded
-Staff will be needed (I'm sure there will be plenty of applications, however.)

Just some off the top of my head right now, given more time I could think of more for sure.

No. If a ZARP official discord is set up it will be done by the team.
