It's a glorified phone call.
Discord overall is good for that kind of thing, also good for getting quicker answers to questions.
Though, forums will remain the place to be for a sustained, longer, more in depth conversation. A chat room like discord will tend to have very ephemeral topics, usually one at a time. While forum threads do fall off the top, they still stick around.
Overall, discord will be a good place when you want to have a phone call, or a meeting, or a question answered in a couple hours or a day. Forums is best though for raising topics where you're happy accumulating a response days, maybe weeks later.

Not even a choice now whether to include it or not.
Details:
I'm running some updates, and ran across our notes for how to bundle the 32 bit Java version for windows-32 bit installers: https://github.com/triplea-game/assets
[image: 1745967815654-screenshot-from-2025-04-29-16-02-38.png]
Basically, download the 32 bit JDK from some website (https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html) and do some re-packaging stuff. That website has JDKs only up to Java 16.
So.. any next release would be on Java 17 or Java 21. It looks like a 32 bit installer is no longer even an option for us (unless someone can find a 32 bit JDK21 somewhere; I kinda suspect such a thing may not even exist now).

I think I'll tend to agree with the majority here. Bad things happen when rushed. Perhaps the next couple months will serve as an extended testing period - a very good thing.
I reduced the number of 2.7 bot servers to two. That's a cost of $10/month and gives us 6 game instances in the meantime.
I'll spin up a 2.7 'megathread' thread &amp; link it in the lobby. Make the testing a bit more official.

I know there is a small group that go way long back, so I belive that must be the one you call "the regular players" Personal I been here for +10 years and play several that been atleast that long to and several other players wery regular players. just e play the big maps (waw, nml, nwo) so maybe you distingues between map groups.
My belive is that there is a flow of come and go players and a steady group of players that stay for years. the problem in my eyes is not the walue of the site more that we are not good enough to spread the "word"
just my point
