Any Discord Server?

[★BigShot★]

Is there a Discord Server available by chance?

No I was looking for an invite to the Discord channel for Esailing game.

Should we create one? I'm looking with people to sail with and learn

At this point of time, having an official Dev Discord is almost a given.
Great for discussions and matchmaking

Do you want me to create an official channel or whatever they have?

Sounds good 👍

Yea, you might want to create some different rooms in there, as well.

You don't need many, just something for discussions, maybe a help section, maybe something for people to throw some screenshots onto. You could also have a welcome section that you're first taken into with some information, like linking to the Steam discussions for people to post bugs, and whatnot.

I'd say we could use one for voice chat, but I totally would rather just have that get integrated in the game itself as a separate option from typing (but still use the same radio-like system!). If people used discord for voice chat, it would kind of spoil a bit of the fun. =P But, if that isn't in the plans, or maybe a ways off, it would be good to have something on discord, at least.

If you need someone to moderate a bit, I'd be happy to help (Here as well! Though, things aren't too bad here yet, haha).

As far as setting all of it up, I've never done it, but maybe there are others here who may be able to help out with that.


I don't believe there's any need for any fancy bot stuff, though. That stuff is annoying and pretty pointless, unless you're using it to gather data from the website to display it on Discord (Who's online, leaderboard stats, etc), if that's even possible.

I like the idea of an official Discord channel, I cant sail at all but I am trying and could use help, it would be good to pull people together to provide help and get help and grow this sim. I do like the in-game radio too but Discord would be for there a different reason.

Absolutely check it out. I was skeptical at first, but now I use it almost daily.
Great way to reach out to likeminded individuals.
You'll need to get a moderator, of course. It's the Internet, after all

Here is eSail Discord: https://discord.com/channels/504292619778523147/504292619778523149

Many thanks - and I tried to use the link but it does not work.

I think that you have to create an invite and post that link rather than a link to the channel.

Doesn't work

Hm, yea, for me, that link works to open up the channel in a browser window.

But, here's a link for you guys. Come on in! =)

(Link to the new thread about it)

We should try to keep things pretty civil and, at least, mostly clean. (I don't think we all need to be swearing like sailors, even if we are one!). =P

Let's just be sure to stay active over here in the Steam discussions, and keep our important stuff over here, as well (especially feature requests, technical support/bug reports, etc).

Also, before it happens, I reeaally don't think we need to flood the Discord with a bunch of memes and clutter like that. =P But, maybe if you guys want to share some of your own eSail screenshots or real sailing pictures, we could probably get cbaldwin256 to create a channel for those types of things. =)

Thanks for the link!

can you open the link again?
