Morrowind Modding Discord - Join the fun!

All you need is a working email address to confirm your account, a mic if you want to voip, and a working internet connection. Just click on the link above to join the discussion, and make your discord account if you haven't already.



For those who are unfamiliar, discord is a webapp, desktop app, and mobile app which lets people chat and direct call other users, and join and create servers where they can use fantastic quality voip to voice chat with others, use a fantastic text chat which supports gifs, videos, and attachments, and in general have a blast. It is geared towards gamers who want to communicate while playing multiplayer games, but it excels at everything I mentioned above.



Why create a discord for the community? Well, there are plenty of outlets where Morrowind modders chat. Various IRC channels, here on the Bethesda forums, the OpenMw forums, Great House Fliggerty, too many other forums to name, various Youtube comment threads, and many other places which I don't even know about. The problem with this is we are lacking a good central location where modders and players can come to chat in real time not only with text but voice as well. Discord is perfect for this. I'm hoping the Discord will allow us to have great discussions which previously only really occurred in DarkElfGuy's Morrowind Modding Group Podcasts.



Morrowind was released in 2002 and many of us have been here for years and years. Our community is tight-knit and is very small compared to other modding communities. To survive and flourish I think this Discord is exactly what we need. So make an account and hop on, share the invite link above with others, and lets have a great time! Hope to see you there. :)

Cool idea, SWG. I recently started using Discord to game with my brothers now and then and it really is good quality. I won't ever be a regular because I have family and other stuff going on to prioritize, but I'd love to drop in now and then!

Love the idea, but I've never had the stones to speak English because I'm afraid I'll sound like a Russian mobster. I might stare behind the bushes though.


But tbh, I never logged a single time on irc when someone was actually around.

I see no reason for that to be considered a bad thing. No American espionage movie is complete without a Russian mobster somewhere.

Don't worry about it, if you aren't comfortable coming on voice you can always pop by to show off what your working on or just chat in the text channel. Either way, I'd love to have you around.

Thanks for the warning. I'll be sure not to undress while you're online. :D

I'll hop in, I abandoned Skype and moved to Discord near the beginning of the year, it's much better and in active development, new features pop in every few weeks, sometimes faster. I'll sing the praises of Discord, and it also helps that it uses a fraction of the RAM and bandwidth that Skype does.

Luckily, this forum offers us to appear offline.
