The conclusion that myself and a few of my friends came to when making this server is that with everyone running back to Aether, it just means Aether is going to be the new Balmung. Everyone is cheering thinking the evil has been defeated when really, come 5.0 Aether is going to crash because everyone is dogpiling onto it.

We sometimes pull people from PF, but the general rule of thumb is members over randos.

If it's anything but a technical issue keeping you from having a Discord, I would recommend trying it out. You can mute all channels so you don't get notifications for anything but runs of things you sign up for and most of our sign ups are done on the spot rather than static. Discord isn't an obligation to be social if you don't want to be.
