=Joining Discord and Channels= | |||
===Setting Up a Discord Account=== | |||
If you do not currently have a Discord account you will need to create one [https://discordapp.com/register here]. | |||
You can also download the Discord desktop application [https://discordapp.com/download here]. | |||
It's important to note that your username and profile picture are persistent across all Discord Servers that you are a member of. However your nickname can be altered on each individual server. If you are using identifiable information as a Username, you may wish to create a separate account for the EVE University server. | |||
===Joining our Server=== | |||
Anybody with a forum account can join our Discord server. There are 7 basic roles, these are Non-Member, Alumnus, Member, Staff, Assistant Manager, Manager and Director. Access to channels will be determined by your forum roles. | |||
To join our server and sync your roles you should first log into the [https://portal.eveuniversity.org/ EVE Uni Portal] and select the option in the bottom left hand side of the page to link Discord. You will be directed to log in using your Discord Username and Password. If this has been successful you will be returned to the main page of the portal and will be able to join EVE University's Discord server. | |||
As part of this process, you will have your Nickname on the EVE University server updated to reflect your in-game name and you will have the correct roles automatically assigned. | |||
Any issues with joining our discord server should be captured in the [[Bug Tracker]]. | |||
