The CMS includes a fully featured Community Forum where players can discuss topics, share strategies, and stay updated on server news — all without leaving the website.
Before posting on the forum, you must set your Forum Identity in Account Management. This links one of your in-game characters as your public forum name.

​
Setting Up Your Forum Identity

Before you can create topics, post replies, or use the live chat, you must select which of your in-game characters represents you on the forum:
1

Go to Account Management

Navigate to Account Information from your user dashboard.
2

Open Forum Identity

Scroll to the Forum Identity section (or expand the accordion).
3

Select a Character

Choose one of your existing characters from the dropdown. The character’s name and level will be displayed publicly whenever you participate in the forum.
If you have no characters created yet, you will be unable to set a forum identity. Create a character in-game first, then return here.

​
Forum Overview

When you open the Forum section from the main website, you’ll see:
  1. Community Chat — A real-time chat widget at the top of the forum index for quick messages.
  2. Category List — All available discussion categories, each showing topic count, post count, and the latest topic.
  3. News Tabs — Highlighted categories displayed as tabbed news sections on the homepage with featured topics and banner images.

​
Browsing Categories

Each forum category shows:
  • Name & Description of the category
  • Topic Count — How many discussion threads exist
  • Post Count — Total replies across all topics
  • Latest Topic — The most recent discussion, including author and date
Click on any category to view its topics.

​
Creating a Topic

1

Enter a Category

Click on the category where you’d like to start a discussion.
2

Click Create Topic

If you have permission, a Create Topic button appears in the top-right corner.
3

Write Your Topic

Enter a Title and write your content using the Rich Text Editor, which supports formatting, links, and images.
4

Submit

Click Create Topic to publish. You’ll be redirected to your new topic automatically.
Some categories may restrict topic creation to staff members only. If you don’t see a “Create Topic” button, that category is managed by administrators.

​
Viewing & Interacting with Topics

Once inside a topic, you can:
The original post is displayed at the top, followed by all replies in chronological order. A breadcrumb navigation (Forum → Category → Topic) lets you navigate back easily.
You can react to both the original topic and individual replies with Like (👍) or Heart (❤️) reactions. Click again to remove your reaction.
Scroll to the bottom to find the Write a Reply section. Use the rich text editor to compose your response, then click Post Reply.
You must be logged in and have a forum identity set to reply. Some categories may have replies disabled by the administrator.
If you are the author of the topic, you can click the Edit (pencil) icon to modify the title and content. Click the checkmark to save or X to cancel.

​
Community Chat

The Community Chat widget appears on the forum index page and provides real-time messaging:
  • Messages update live via WebSocket — no need to refresh.
  • Each message displays the sender’s character name, timestamp, and whether they are an admin.
  • Admin names are highlighted in a distinct color for easy recognition.
  • You must be logged in with a selected forum character to send messages.

​
News & Announcements

The homepage features a News section powered by the forum. Administrators can designate certain categories as “homepage tabs,” which will:
  • Display as tabbed panels (e.g., News, Events, Patch Notes) on the main page.
  • Show the latest topics with their full content preview and a “Read more” link.
  • Feature banner images in a rotating carousel above the forum.
