Dual Universe Discord Server Update (January 2023)

[NQ-Nyzaltar]

Dear Noveans,
 
For some time, the Discord Moderation team and the Novaquark Community team have discussed changes internally to make it more community-friendly along with the suggestions made by the community during the open discord suggestions channel over the holidays of 2022. Today, the following changes have been deployed.

"Verified ID" Role implementation

 

From now on, except for a few channels with no restrictions meant for visitors, most channels on this Discord are in "Read Only" until you get the "Verified ID" role. You just have to link your Discord account to your Dual Universe account to get this role. If you haven't done it already, here is the process to do so:

1- Log on to your Dual Universe account here: https://www.dualuniverse.game/account/profile
2- Go to the "Linked Accounts" tab: https://www.dualuniverse.game/account/linked
3- Click on the "Link my Discord Account" button and follow the process.
 

Once you have linked your DU account to your Discord account, please wait up to 10-15 minutes in order to receive the "Verified ID" role on Discord.
In thecase you didn't receive the "Verified ID" role past that time, please reach out to a CM on Discord (NQ-Nyota, NQ-Nicodemus or NQ-Nyzaltar) or contact Customer Support here: https://support.dualthegame.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Thanks everybody for having patience while I pushed for a PVP-related space in discord.

If you wish to have discord-related PVP in the DU server, please follow the rules, it helps you and it helps us mods.

 

If you wish to have firey discord-related PVP in the DU server, please take it to DMs or another server. Originally we wanted to have somewhat looser rules for the section but I'm not seeing that in the rules channel for the category so we'll have to wait and see. Its a completely new section and rules are still being ironed out as the community adopts it. Rules could change at any time, if they do, we'll let you know.

This is absolutely ridiculous.  It forces my name on the discord to be my in-game name, which is different than the name I use for my social media and content creation on Twitch and YouTube and this cannot be changed.  It completely screws up my branding and name recognition.  What if I don't want to be known on the Discord as my in game name?  My in game name differs from my name used elsewhere.  This is extremely limiting and something needs to change about this.

I love the fact that names in discord have to match the name in the game. stops confusion and makes it easier to talk to people that owned constructs we find in game.

This literally says "screw you" to any content creator whose online persona name was already used in DU before their main account was made.

Oh, you're a popular youtuber named Tom Scott and someone made Tom Scott in DU before you made your account?  Guess you can't be Tom Scott in the Discord.
