So, after Modanung came around and chatted a while, WildX had the brilliant idea that we should set up a Matrix instance, because why not. It is more modern and FLOSS, and offers almost the same User Experience you find in Discord except without spywares.
So we are now on Matrix! You can still join our IRC servers with either Gamja webclient or Kiwi webclient (or any other IRC client you happen to have and like), but from time begin, the forum link has been updated to point to Matrix's one.
Our space is at https://matrix.to/#/#tmw:matrix.org - join it if you're familiar with Matrix
And you can join just the general chat with https://matrix.to/#/#themanaworld:libera.chat instead. This is currently the preferred use.
You can join the space (Discord Server equivalent) later if you want, there's also a Jitsi channel.
Keep in mind #themanaworld, #themanaworld-dev and #moubootaur-legends are bridged to IRC and Discord, and send messages unencrypted; while Matrix and Irukard's Corner are not.
Team channels are NOT on Matrix; But staff can join after setting up SASL.
We may or may not expand Matrix use in the future.
Some third-party disclaimers...
Moubootaur Legends general channel is on the space for your convenience - it is not managed by The Mana World Team, nor will we add Moubootaur Legends specific channels.
The channels bridges are offered and maintained by Libera Chat and associates, not by us - We are not responsible for eventual downtimes.
elanore remains in IRC because she won the last popularity contest against SUSAN and Numa so she gets to choose.
It definitely isn't because we're lazy.You can use her from the Matrix room, but we haven't added #themanaworld-spam yet (but we may do so in future).
As with Discord, Irukard's Corner refers to voice/video channel but they're not linked. Have fun!
If you end up in #themanaworld:matrix.org space, you'll find our official space as a subspace because subspaces are cool. It totally isn't because I'm a noob who didn't knew about aliases.
