The Community Beat
Greetings soldiers, we have a big announcement today! We're moving to Discord, officially!
The current forum log-in issue has placed us in a position to shift our community space. However, this has been a decision we've thought about for some time now. We are no stranger to Discord after all, as we've worked with many awesome community members in that space before. From streamer vs. streamer events, community discord support, content creator support, planetside battles support and more! Discord has shown us that it can be a home for the planetside community and we want to make it a home for you!
Speaking of Discord communities, be sure to add the existing community Discord to your list. It houses over 15k passionate PlanetSide soldiers and has been super helpful in keeping you engaged with all things PlanetSide. You can join the community Discord here:

Status of Existing Forums
Due to a critical hardware issue with our forums, we have to make the hard decision to close it down. However, we are working to make it read-only for all your archival needs. Once and if we can make that happen, we will share the link to the existing forums on our official Discord server.
But note, when that time comes, the forums will no longer be linked from our homepage and instead a new Discord link will be in its place. Log-ins and Signups to the existing forums will no longer work.
We are tentatively shooting for this to happen around 3/16 so be sure to check our socials for further updates.
In the meantime forum log-ins are still spotty but we will continue to monitor all conversations there until its closure on 3/16.
Official PlanetSide 2 Discord Server
And now the moment you all have been waiting for! We have been working on the new official Discord server and have a few ideas in mind for the transition. Upon opening day 3/16, we will mirror most of the sub forum categories from our forums over to Discord. This will provide a smooth transition for our existing forum community while welcoming new members to our new space.
We will experiment with threaded conversations around key areas that our developers could use your immediate feedback on. This ranges from new features, armor sets, directives, bug fixes and more.
The new Discord server will serve as your hub for all things community including official and non official community events and contests.
We will announce the link on 3/16 so be sure to check back for that later!
Open Call for Moderator Support!
With the opening of our Discord, we want to invite you to apply for moderatorship for our Discord server! Past experience moderating is great but don't let that stop you from applying as it is not necessary to be considered. Fill out the form below and give us all the details of your Discord moderating or other community management experiences.
Some notes before you apply:
Please read the rules at the top of the application!
Make sure you input your active PlanetSide 2 account in the appropriate section of the application.
We will be reviewing applicants in the order received and will hopefully have our selections before 3/16.
The Wrap
Thank you for taking some time to read this article, soldier. We'll see you in your new community home very soon!
