Help Index :: Communication :: Discord Discord is a free chat application designed for people who play games. You can access it from an app on your phone, app on your computer, or just the web. Some TFE channels are integrated with Discord channels. This means you can post something in the game and have it show up in Discord. People in Discord can post things and have them show up in the game. The TFE Discord server is: https://discord.gg/dPFet8x Channels integrated: OOC, Atalk, Ctell, Cstatus, Gtell, Gstatus, Gossip, Chat (Groups and Clans also have voice enabled channels) You must link your TFE account to your Discord account to use integrated channels: https://www.theforestsedge.com/tfe/discord_auth.php FAQ Q: How do I use this? A: Start here: https://discord.gg/dPFet8x -- Create a Discord account if you don't already have one. Follow the instructions in the #readme channel to link your TFE account to your Discord account. Q: Why do I have to link my Discord account to my TFE account? A: This allows us to do cool things. For example: only clan members will be able to view the clan channel for ctell. Permissions are managed automatically by TFE. 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/atman name. If you change your atman name, your nickname will change in Discord. Your atman 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/atman name in Discord and not the player name? A: This is a result of the account system changes from April 2018 and later the atman changes from June 2022 (see announcements board). Your Discord account is linked to your TFE account/atman, not specific characters, so the name displayed in Discord is your atman name.
