So recently I saw a video on being social in MMOs and 14 in general (I forget the video). The comments were flooded with people talking about how Discord is used as the real form of communication for FCs, friends, statics, etc., and how people felt like the game was becoming less social for them and how it was becoming a mostly solo game.
I was wondering since my main character is idle now with no raiding or endgame stuff left to do. I wanted to make an FC on my alt for people who sort of want to go back to that old MMO feeling of using the in-game communications as the main form of talking and try to make an FC the social hub over a Discord server. Not abandoning Discord entirely as a way to communicate when people are not on 14, but when in the game, it is the main way to talk, plan and do events together. Maybe in the future incorporate a small RP section as well for doing in-game things like an adventurer guild (Bards, setting fun quests for people etc) and make the FC a hub for in-game communication even for those not even in the FC with a linkshell, but a place to meet others who want to party up and do quests and stuff together.
Before I commit any time, I just wanted to see if it's a stupid idea and not to waste my time, or if there are other ideas like this that could work. I admit this partly comes from missing the more in-game social side and watching stuff like .hack//sign again. But also as a way to keep people logging in and for people to also find people to play the game with if they feel 14 has become a little too solo or they don't know where to start with looking for people to play with.
