FAQ
Q: How do I use this?

Q: Why do I have to link my Discord account to my TFE account?
A: This allows us to do cool things like provide more personalized channels. For example: use Discord to monitor your group’s gtell or gstatus channels while AFK.
Q: Do I have to be logged in to TFE to chat on Discord?
A: No! You can stay in touch with TFE by chatting on Discord without logging in to the game.
Q: Why can’t I change my nickname in Discord?
A: This was debated but we decided to lock nicknames in Discord as your
TFE account name. The thinking was this would help make it clear who is
speaking. If you change your TFE account name, your nickname will
change in Discord. Your TFE account name can be changed by logging in
from the game main menu, then choosing option 4.
Q: Why do chats appear from my TFE account name in Discord and not the player name?
A: Your Discord account is linked to your TFE account, not specific characters, so the name displayed there is your TFE account name.
Q: Why can’t I see my clan or group channels? (gtell, ctell, etc.)
A: You may need to link your TFE account to your Discord account: https://www.theforestsedge.com/tfe/discord_auth.php See the #readme channel for more information.
