It's already very well known that people love accessibility, love easy to learn and use apps, and a forum is the opposite of that. We only must check how many players in FoE uses forums to communicate, express their ideas, etc. and compare that with the % of players of other online games who uses Discord instead of a forum.
Discord can be uses in pc, in tablets and cellphones, people can download a 377mb app to have instant acces to different groups and chat and have instant comunication, and because it's easy to learn and is easy to acces to the chats related to a certain group is why we can see hundred and thousands of players using it everyday.
Innogames could have more feedback and more interactions than ever and as you should know, the more feedback and interactions, more profits to Innogames and better improves and updates to the game.

Usually, at the moment of enter to a discord group, you can read a welcome message and nothing else. at the end of that message you can read something like "please, react to this message with the flag of the server where you play", and by doing that, you unlock all the chats related to the server where you play and the language of it.
the chats you can see can be:
- Announcements: only admins and mods of that group can write there, in the case of FoE, The community Manager of your server should be the one who can write there.
- Updates: A chat where only mods, admins, CManager; can write. A chat where people can read all the info about a new patch and what it contains.
- Feedback: A chat where any person can post your feedback about an event, a new updat or patch, etc.
- FAQs: a chat where people can only read and where can find useful info about the most frequent questions asked by players like "why we can't rotate buildings in FoE?".
- General Chat: a chat to talk to any person who is online and present in that moment.
- Suggestion: a chat where any person can write but after send your message, you must wait between 12 hours or even a complete day before write there. mods have the power to delete any suggestion with an inappropriate format and people can react to those messages (suggestions) at any moment with an arrow pointing up or an arrow pointing up.
- Discussion of suggestions: a chat where any person can write to comment his/her opinions about any suggestion posted in the suggestion chat.
- Random chats: like a chat to post memes related to FoE, art related to FoE.
- Worlds chats: a section divided by different sub chats according to each world in the server where you are. people of a certain world can write in the chat with the name of the world where they play to instantly chat with players of his/her world.
- Rate my city: a chat to post screenshots of your city, to ask opinions and ways to improve it.
All that can be implemented in a Discord group and Community Managers, Forum Managers, forum moderators, support members, etc, and specially Innogames, would have instant access to hundred and thousands of messages, feedback, suggestions ,etc. A lot more than the ones they have in any forum!.
- Balance
- With the creation of a Discord group, the forum could be, eventually, not used by any player, what it could mean a possible deletion of all FoE Forums if Innogame see that as a possitive option for them.
- Abuse Prevention
- no. it is a group in an app no related to FoE, so there is no way that a player can cheat or use an exploit inside the game.
- Summary
- Create an official Discord Group of FoE to increase a lot the interaction between players of all servers and Innogames and it's forum/support workers.
- Have you looked to see if this has already been suggested?
- not suggested.
Rise of Cultures, another game of Innogames, uses Discord instead of a forum like Elvenar, The West, Forge of Empires, etc. Why not FoE? Why we still using a system like a forum?
The idea: the creation of an official Discord for FoE and it would be a lot beter if we use that instead of forums.
