What is Discord?

Discord is a text chat application with voice chat capabilities. At World Anvil, we use discord for …

• Helping each other with our worldbuilding
• Developing World Anvil and have discussions regarding upcoming features, bugs, and ideas
• Run community competitions
• Having fun and meeting other worldbuilders!

To make World Building a fun and productive process.
To make sure that World Anvil is built by the community for the community.

Server Roles

When you will first join Discord you will notice that people are separated into different ranks.
Here is a list of these ranks and what they actually mean!

Freemen

Freemen are World Anvil users with a free account. This role unlocks several channels that people who are not World Anvil users can't see, such as the worldbuilding and creative channels. If you are a World Anvil user but don't have your Freeman role, make sure to connect your Discord and World Anvil accounts from your account settings!

Guild members

Guild members are the supporters of World Anvil; we wouldn't exist without them! This is why they get their own colour-coded Discord role (as well as some exclusive channels). If you are a Guild member and didn't get your Discord role, go to your account settings and connect your Discord and World Anvil accounts (make sure that your World Anvil and Discord email addresses are the same!).

Voluntary Roles

There are several voluntary roles that you can assign to yourself. They are listed in the #info-roles-and-channels channel; just click on the corresponding reaction to the message with the roles and the bot will give the role to you! Keep in mind that these roles are pingable. Ping other people sharing the same passion for world building

Sync your Account!

Synchronizing your World Anvil and Discord accounts will give you access to more channels (and, if you're a Guild member, to the Guild-only spaces too). Check out this video to see how to do it:

How to Sync

1: Login via the browser version of Discord

Revealing hidden channels

Sometimes Discord will hide some channels by default with the purpose of making the experience leaner. To reveal back a hidden channel, click on "Channel & Roles" at the top of the channel list and selct the channels you want to have visible.
