[Repository]: Hub for Discovering Diablo Communities

Hello D2IO,

While plenty of available Discord servers in the ARPG/Diablo ether exist, many fly under the radar or have been newly created. In many instances, they all uniquely offer a form of distinct value. Still, a handful are also quite large, and many players may be looking for smaller, more intimate growing communities.

I aim to create a permanent thread that serves as a hub for endorsing your servers or communities, providing a platform for those seeking new horizons. This post is all about fostering community discovery and growth.

Kicking things off, let me introduce you to my Discord: WarTh3ory's Cathedral

For those that may not know me, I go by War, War the Wise, Bald Manald, or Theory. I am an Ambassador in the Diablo II Sanctuary Discord server. Outside of work as a passionate gamer Dad, I entered the streaming and content gig as a side hobby, and my primary focus has been on Diablo.

Most current members of my server are North American and European players, with a Hardcore faction nested within. We are a small and growing group of Diablo fans, but most importantly, our focus is on providing a safe space for ARPG players in general for games such as Diablo, Last Epoch, and more. A fun opportunity to build and participate in a server that overall is focused on friendly and laid-back discourse on the subject of ARPGs.


What you will find/do on my server:

• Help build and evolve a new server with our friendly and engaging community

• Long-time Diablo II players and experts

• Updated trackers and tools for Diablo II Terror Zones and Clone Hunting

• Diablo II, Diablo IV, and Last Epoch trackers/news updates

• Custom Data Mod Loot Filters & Graphical Changes

• Activity ranking that grants different roles (colors/role icons) the more active you are on the server

• For Twitch Subscribers, YouTube Members, or Server Boosters, we provide custom ranks, colors, and an exclusive private channel for discourse among other subscribers, members, and boosters

• My stream schedule is available here, in addition to my content

• We have many fun custom emotes and stickers

If you would like to join my Horde, we would love to welcome you.

Stay Frosty, Sanctuary.

A little bit of the topic: Its not a discord server, but i stream sometimes on twitch.



It will be really nice to spend some time with you all!

I play SC NL and i'm focused in trying new builds (first place) and grinding. I'm just starting this channel so i don't have a community there. Reach out and let's try some builds.

Thanks Th3ory for getting this started.

In light of a fair few posts, both recently and in the past, by folks looking for others to play with, help with their dclones or whatever other "additional live community" they are/were searching for, having a central place to put your discord links/external community information is bound to be helpful to those searching for just that.
As such: stickied.

For anyone else who would like to add a link to/information about their D2 and related communities here, go right ahead. Please do keep it to real, legit communities though and try to follow Th3ory's example by giving some context and a brief description of what folks in your community are up to, rather than just dumping a context-free link in here with no further/useful information.

Do please limit submissions in here to actual discords/communities or your value-adding streaming info and the like to keep things more to the point. Further extensive discussions on how a given discord may be utilized or ideas for forum tie-ins and whatnot are of course generally welcome but should be done within a separate topic.



Update:
De-stickied again. Seems there really isn't that much interest in this sort of reference archive after all. Or more accurately, at least it seems there's hardly anyone with something to add.

All good; it was wishful thinking. But as Season 7 begins tonight, and Sanctuary returns to us, all are welcome to join and hope that people find new communities to engage.

Hello everyone,

I run a small community forum for Classic Diablo, Diablo II, and LoD players (aka time travelers).

We mainly play and discuss OG (non Resurrected) Diablo II from patch 1.00 to patch 1.10. We're mostly oriented towards Single Player gameplay, but some of us occasionally link up using good ole TCP/IP.

I know most of you have moved on to D2R, but if anyone's curious, please feel free to check us out!

@Schnorki I hope sharing this is okay -- my site isn't a Discord, but it's an active community nonetheless.

Aye. The point is offering and finding communities after all. Not necessarily specifically via discord.

Besides, we moderators love when people ask gently and with a simple and efficient description of what they suggest !

Agreed - maybe we edit the title to make it more conducive. I adjusted to [Repository] to open it up a bit.

Thanks for posting/sharing.

Personally, the post originally did bring in new members to our group which continues to grow. Hope this works for others as well.

I still think it's a good idea, but hours of play along with varying time zones make it difficult to organize group runs. There is a period of overlap where a group just starting in one time zone can join another group in their later hours of play if they know the time frames they have to work with. I think that’s one of the reasons why so many attempts to organize group runs on D2.

Io have never materialized. That doesn’t mean that it can’t be overcome but it does mean it will take a little organization to make it work.

I created a BNet ID's sheet in my discord for folks to publicly drop in their time zones, realms they play in an effort to make this coordination as easy as possible.

Still working on getting a custom Run Bot created that will be a custom channel w/thread so anyone can "start" public or private runs. May take a minute, but progress.

Eventually when any server grows, you can create custom roles for SC vs. HC in an attempt to more easily identify who plays what

I must've overlooked it while on Discord. I wonder how a poll might fare?

What kind of poll precisely?

Good news in the server is that Rest, who build the amazing Cain bot that many use, I have had him upgrade a handful of things that are rolling out to make it more compelling.

A timestamped poll to discover what the active hours of play for different people are by region.

Yeah something I will likely do as the server continues to scale/grow. But love seeing the amount of activity.
