Hello everyone!

It has been a while since we've done a major change to the rules page and after adjusting, adding, and removing rules here and there, it has gotten messy.

With that in mind, the rules have been updated to improve readability.

You can find the rules as always at http://wiki.nordinvasion.com/doku.php?id=rules:start.

If you see any mistakes, omissions, or otherwise confusing rules, please let us know.

Hello everyone,

Over the past few months I've been using Discord as my own alternative to IRC so this includes support, event issues, game issues etc and so far I've been loving it. I prefer it to IRC and I would like us to eventually switch over to it but first I'd like to invite more people over to Discord itself just to test it more.

I've had a few people find the link and join our Discord channel and so far they've liked it but I need more!

What is Discord?
Discord is designed for gamers and is completely free and is designed to replace things like Skype and Teamspeak with some pretty good VoIP features but for my use I've been using it as an alternative IRC and so far it's been going pretty great.

If you'd like to use Discord yourself feel free to look up on it here: https://discordapp.com/

If you'd like to help me continue my testing with Discord you can find our instant invite link here -> https://discord.gg/0xBnQJiW2hHWT6x9
What I would like to see is your feedback and opinions on Discord as well as any feature requests.

I'll be using Discord instead of IRC (Like I have been) so if you need an event set up feel free to drop a message in Discord and I'll get to it or someone else will.

If you have any questions please drop a reply, thanks!
