Hey folks, we have premium on mobile now. It works a little different in terms of signing up. If you are on mobile, tap the link below and it will direct you to a signup page. Let me know if you have any issues, open a #old-support-tickets to give us your technical issues so we can pass them on to Discord.

You should also be able to tap (long press iOS) on Premium Memberships at the top of this server in your Discord mobile app and it will bring you to the same place. Although the update is still rolling out so the link below may be the best solution.

It would seem there is a scammer that is hijacking accounts through sending a discord server invite link. The link takes you to a server to buy gold. They aren't selling gold. They are using this to take control of your discord account. Never click a link, no matter who it is from in DMs. You are not buying gold from this server in question. The server will likely be removed by morning anyways. Report the DM as spam and move a long.

We've also enabled lock down methods in the community for the time being. You will find in select channels you cannot send links, attach files, etc. We will disable lock down measures once this bot attack has ended. I'm already working directly with Discord to have the scam server and it's owners removed from Discord.

Do not click on discord invite links or any links sent to you in your DMs. They are a scam and you will lose control of your account and likely banned from this community until you regain control of it. Enable two factor authentication on your account as well

Also, interesting to see who all is clicking the link to buy gold who always say no to buying gold

^ Due to undetected bot raid, the following channels are temporarily set to private with Adventurer role access only:
#navigation #lao-faq #rules-info

This is to ensure hacked accounts won't be able to access DMs with our users.

Reminder, do not post pictures or links to third party tools/hacks/exploits (including third party DPS meters)
Please reread the #rules-info , we have logs

Greetings
You may already know LF.Group – the team that created our LFG bot and wandering merchant tracker for the server.

The team is now developing a recruitment solution for guilds, static groups and small teams along with a lfg system. The system will allow players to browse through available communities that have the same in-game goals.

We have created the channel #1012152216745951312 with a detailed description of the upcoming features and encourage you to leave your feedback or share ideas on what LF.Group bot devs should consider adding.

[reef salmon]

No ping needed. This time.

We've moved #old-support-tickets into the Important Channels category so it can be found much easier.

We have added Kakul Saydon tag to our looking-for-static group finder channels.

I want to ping but fire will kill me.

So as some of you may have noticed, the Bussing section in the community is gone. We've regrettably had to stop all bussing whether it be offering or asking for bussing. After talking with Discord reps, we've been informed that any type of Boosting/Carries/Bussing advertisement are against Discord's Terms of Service. So what does this mean? Essentially if we were to continue, not only would this community disappear, but many if not all moderators and admins would be permanently banned from Discord. And honestly, none of us want to throw away up to 8 years of our lives.

So we've shut it all down. That does not mean that you can go into any of the LFG sections or any section advertising to do or need bussing. You can still do trade carries, but no type of transactional bussing can occur within this community. We will be enforcing this heavily and this count's as a warning for everyone. None of us wanted to shut it down, me in particular. We spent over a month fine tuning our bot and the server to support bussing. And it's upsetting we have to shut it down but we are the main source of conversation, help and knowledge for most of Lost Arks western player base. It would be unfair to punish everyone over something as trivial as bussing advertisements.

So a TLDR: Bussing adverts are closed to prevent Discord banning community and staff. Didn't want to do it but had to. Please don't post bussing adverts in the community.

[reef salmon]

Just A Reminder:

This is a community revolving around Lost Ark. It's not a place to share or discuss hentai. I shouldn't have to post this, but I do. Don't do it. We know the tricks members use.

Changing some roles/channels for merge. Discord may slow down or become unresponsive. ⚠️

[warm yarrow]

Our Merchant Alert bot has been updated to reflect recent server merge changes.
Please setup your new servers in #941175805487235112 if you were affected.
You will need to unlock region roles in #navigation to access this channel.

[warm yarrow]

Our server specific regional voice channels have been changed to general lobbies.
At most one or two channels were only used per region and the rest wasted.
These channels require region roles to access.
We will adjust channels based on demand.

[warm yarrow]

Rent a Voice Channel
We now have a new bot that will let you generate your own 4 or 8 person voice channels on demand!
With the release of Clown raid, we've noticed the demand of our group channels have increased.
Please try using this new VC system with your raid members. There is also a text chat access on each voice channel.

You can create a room by joining the Click for 4 Member or Click for 8 Member voice channels.
The bot will automatically generate a new voice channel and move you to it.

Head on over to #create-voice-rooms for instructions. Misuse of this system will incur penalties.

There's a new Discord update today. It should go live at some point in gradual increments for users. While this is a nice update, I do want to remind everyone that when streaming videos whether it be from YouTube or your desktop, we do not allow copyrighted content you do not own the rights to. This goes for TV Shows, Movies, Sports Events, etc. Below is all the update information.

There is also a new Discord Nitro tier available on the 20th. It costs $2.99 a month. And it grants you the following:

• Profile Badge
• File uploads to 50mb
• Use emojis anywhere

However, it won’t include the server boosts, HD video streaming, animated avatars, and custom profiles. Keep in mind, Nitro does not contribute to this community in any way. Nitro is more a personal perk than a community perk.

Discord Update

Jump into any Voice Channel and click the Rocket Ship to start up Activities, right from the comfort of your own community. Some Activities will have both desktop and mobile support, allowing you to quickly pick up a game with your friend no matter where they are.

Everyone will be able to launch and enjoy these two Activities for free starting today:

Watch Together: Enjoy the same YouTube video at the same time. (Unlimited Participants)
Putt Party: Mini golf, mega drama. (Up to 8 participants.)

And another reminder, we are phasing out our old Group Voice Channels. You can now go and make your own temporary voice channel (4 & 8 user limits) in #create-voice-rooms. We are keeping the 16 user channels in the Group Channels category so don't worry.

I'm also obligated to remind everyone to re-read up on the #rules-info to keep yourself updated. And if you are posting in any of our forums, be sure to click on the 🔖 icon in the top right to read the forum rules.

Frequent Discord Security Reminder:

We find ourselves constantly having to ban accounts that have been compromised. The number one way to get your account compromised and used by bad actors is to click on links, download files and join servers you are unfamiliar with.

If your account does become compromised, you may never know it. Your account will be used to compromise other accounts and ultimately end in your account being permanently banned by Discord.
And you may find yourself unable to create a new account under certain circumstances. Using both Discord security features and our bot, we are able to quickly identify compromised accounts. And regardless of the user, we remove that account from our community.

There are a few steps you can take to prevent this from happening:

1. • Never download any file from any user unless you can speak to that user via voice and recognize the user on the other end.
2. • If you receive a DM from a user asking you to join a server (mostly for porn), never click the invite link.
3. • Never scan a QR code sent through Discord. No server, bot or Discord themselves will ever send you a QR code to scan.
4. • Do not visit websites you are not familiar with.
5. • Never login to a website using Discord that is not reputable.

Good security practice also includes regularly changing your password and using a secure random password.
If you choose not to use a random password, be sure to do a password audit several times a year. You can start by using https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords.
We highly recommend the random password method and utilizing a service such as BitWarden, LastPass, Google Password Manager for example to store your passwords securely.
Also enable Two Factor Authentication and never enter your auth code into anywhere besides discord.com.

At the end of the day you are responsible for the security of your account and taking good security practices.

All forum rules have been updated. Check either the pinned post in each forum, or click the 📘 in the top right to get a better explanation.

A few notable changes:

• All posts must be in English. Our communities primary language is English. While we understand that members from all over the world participate here, we need to keep it understandable.

• The Looking For Group forums are not the place for guild advertisements. We have a separate section for this. Take a look at #guild-recruitment to learn more. Posting guild advertisements in the Looking For Group forums can result in removal of your Guild Recruiter role and/or being banned from all LFG areas.

• Again, do not post offering or asking for bussing/boosting.

• Poor quality posts may be removed at a moderators discretion. Below is an example of a good and poor quality post.

• Be sure to post in the appropriate forum. If you are looking to join or recruit for a static group, use the looking for static forum. If you are looking for a group in a non-static make up, post in the looking for group forum.

• When you are finished with your post, close it. Not only does this help with clutter, but it will also stop people from DMing you and replying to your post when you're already done.

• In the near future the looking-for-maps forums will be retired and combined into the looking-for-group forum.

Example Of A Poor Quality Post

Title:

Me and a friend are looking to be taught normal Vykas

Content:

Example Of A Good Quality Post

Title:

Recently we've been getting a lot of questions about our Excessive Bumping rule when posting in the forums. While we have our own internal metrics and individual opinions on excessive bumping, below is a break down on what can be considered as Excessive Bumping.

Excessive Bumping Break Down:

(*) If your post consists more than 20% of bumps or less than 80% of conversation, it is considered excessive.
(*) Bumping more than twice in a 24 hour time period.
(*) If no one has replied to your post after a couple days, instead of constantly bumping, you should close your post and remake it after restructuring it to be more appealing.

What is bumping?

(*) Bumping comes in many different forms.
(*) Bumping can be a reply to your own post whether from yourself or a friend posting useless text. ("up", ".", "bump", etc)
(*) It can also be just editing your post title with little to no changes.
(*) There's also ghost bumping where you bump your post then delete the reply you made. - This type can get you permanently banned from all LFG sections of the community.

How can I not excessively bump my post?

(*) To avoid excessively bumping your post, a good practice is to realize when your post is not getting any attention, you may need to go back and figure out what in your post is not attracting the players you want.
(*) You can also be more descriptive and detailed in your post. Sharing your characters stats, your static members stats and a brief explanation of what preferences you are looking for in a potential group member.
(*) Don't follow what others are doing. The moderation staff doesn't live on Discord so we may miss some posts from time to time. So a good practice is not to look at how others are bumping their posts. They may be breaking the rules after all.
(*) Read the bot reply when you make your initial post and read the forum rules either in the pinned post or by filtering by the " MOD POST" tag.
(*) Try not to require members to only DM you about your group. By doing so you are creating a situation where you will be excessively bumping your post by persuading others to not participate within your post.

I've been LFG Banned, how can I appeal?

(*) We do not typically do appeals for LFG Bans.
(*) However, we are more than happy to have a constructive conversation about it. Whether it be to help you better understand the rules or give suggestions on what you can do differently to attract more players to reply to your post.
(*) When having a conversation, a good idea is to not deflect by saying "Well I saw X post do this so I did it too".
(*) You are responsible for your own actions, no one else made you do what you did. Keep that in mind. When you have a conversation with a moderator, they are having a conversation about you and no one else.

4. • Do not visit websites you are not familiar with.
5. • Never login to a website using Discord that is not reputable.
6. • No one is handing out free robux, crypto, leaked porn or anything else. These are just ploys used to steal your account.

Good security practice also includes regularly changing your password and using a secure random password.
If you choose not to use a random password, be sure to do a password audit several times a year. You can start by using https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords.
We highly recommend the random password method and utilizing a service such as BitWarden, NordPass or Google Password Manager for example to store your passwords securely.
Also enable Two Factor Authentication and never enter your authentication code into anywhere besides discord.com.

At the end of the day you are responsible for the security of your account and taking good security practices.

[reef salmon]

Secondary Security Update:

No staff member neither myself, a moderator or anyone will ever DM you in regards to a ban appeal. We utilize a ban appeal form and do not reach out to you directly for general bans. The only instances we ever reach out to a banned member is to verify they have enabled two factor authentication. We will NEVER ask you to open any external website, open anything other than the Discord client (we do not have members use the web client).

If anyone with the same names, avatars, etc DM you about a ban appeal or for anything similar, it is not us. You need to block the account, report their messages and reach out to us via #old-support-tickets (if you aren't actually banned).

No one from our staff team will ever DM you about ban appeals, ever.

Don't fall for scams. if it's too good to be true, it's not true.

AGS made their own Lost Ark discord. That's cool. But there's some confusion going around based on the wording of AGS.

We use Dyno for most of our moderation duties. Currently there's an issue with mutes not expiring. So if you've received a mute in the last 24 hours, submit a #old-support-tickets and we'll take care of it. When Dyno does start working again, you'll likely get an automated message saying your mute was lifted, just ignore it.

Okay so this is an odd type of post I've never made before. But to preface it, we are not sponsored, paid or given anything in return for this. I felt this was appropriate as I know this service is used by a lot of people in our community and in your own private servers.

The Lost Ark Market Online bot and website are used to price check almost any item in every server region. The /prices command can be used in discord to achieve this. So as it stands there are over 1 million queries per day to the bot and website combined. That's a lot.

Due to the rising costs, they may need to shut down for a while until they can get everything moved to a better solution to reduce costs. If you want to help them out, they have setup a couple of ways to support them.

Typically we don't advertise other servers but since it is such a widely used tool by the community we feel that it's worth spreading awareness about. If you would like to find out some more information about what is going with the market bot you can check out their server with the link below.

Prev Security Note: #discord-updates message

As a number of our users continue to have their discord accounts compromised - This is another refresher; and by the twelve do I pray that the people who need to see this - see this.

Stop joining random discord invite links - yes, this includes from your friends, if you get DMed a random invite link or see a random invite link posted in this discord - don't accept it. If it's in DM from a friend, make sure it's actually them.

We're starting to lose account of all the compromised accounts that wind up having to put appeals through to us to have their access reinstated to the Discord because they were banned after being compromised, with similar links/messages to ones we've banned many before them for. We do have a wildcard that we set up to ban new links, but there's only so much it can do.

TLDR

• Stop joining random disc invites, stop scanning random QR codes that are linked to you.
• No random is giving you free nitro
• There are no tiktok nudes, only loss of your discord account; knock one out in the sink before you click bad things.
• There are no hot singles in your area
• That League of Angels ad isn't as good as it's sultry voiceover tones would imply.

Thank you for reading this public safety announcement, I wish you all a fantastic non-compromised-account weekend.

Frequent Discord Security Reminder:

We find ourselves constantly having to ban accounts that have been compromised. The number one way to get your account compromised and used by bad actors is to click on links, download files and join servers you are unfamiliar with.

If your account does become compromised, you may never know it. Your account will be used to compromise other accounts and ultimately end in your account being permanently banned by Discord.
And you may find yourself unable to create a new account under certain circumstances. Using both Discord security features and our bot, we are able to quickly identify compromised accounts. And regardless of the user, we remove that account from our community.

There are a few steps you can take to prevent this from happening:

1. • Never download any file from any user unless you can speak to that user via voice and recognize the user on the other end.
2. • If you receive a DM from a user asking you to join a server (mostly for porn), never click the invite link.
3. • Never scan a QR code sent through Discord. No server, bot or Discord themselves will ever send you a QR code to scan.
4. • Do not visit websites you are not familiar with.
5. • Never login to a website using Discord that is not reputable.

Good security practice also includes regularly changing your password and using a secure random password.
If you choose not to use a random password, be sure to do a password audit several times a year. You can start by using https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords.
We highly recommend the random password method and utilizing a service such as BitWarden, LastPass, Google Password Manager for example to store your passwords securely.
Also enable Two Factor Authentication and never enter your auth code into anywhere besides discord.com.

At the end of the day you are responsible for the security of your account and taking good security practices.

Also we see all of you who have gone to a certain marketplace server to purchase gold. That is a scam server. Not only are you compromising your account, but we'll be forced to ban you from here. And this ban for this specific scam cannot be appealed. Don't be stupid.

Friendly Reminder, Don't Share Personal Info

Some of you may have heard of the recent news around bots scraping user info and selling it to data brokers and law enforcement. Through a community made tool, we have identified one of these bots to have joined in the beginning of this year and removed it. While Discord is actively investigating this group, these incidents of scrapping server data will be inevitable. For that reason, it's best to avoid sharing personal or identifying information in public discord servers such as these. Remember, this is a public community discord, not your friend's private social server.

[reef salmon]

Another Friendly Reminder

We do not allow linking to or the promotion of third party unauthorized software.
We also do not allow sharing screenshots of the above mentioned unauthorized software.
An example of this is any DPS Meter or software you cannot obtain through Amazon Games Studio directly.

We've seen a uptick in conversations about third party software(s), while discussions are perfectly fine, we prefer not to be a link hub and/or gallery to software that violates the Amazon Games Studio Terms of Use (section 2.5 in the example case).

Echidna LFG Forum Tags

Echidna HM and Echidna NM looking-for-raid and looking-for-static forum tags are now available.
Sorry for the delay, there was discord server caching issue and we had to redo all the tags manually.
Please reapply your forum tags as they've been reset. Some tags were removed or merged as there is a 20 tag limit.

Expect another change of tags after solo raids come out.
Also if you have any suggestions for tags or the static forums, please let us know. Do you still think lfstatic forum is helpful?
You can give suggestions at #old-support-tickets

New Discord Scam

Please note the below, **don't **get hacked lil buddies. We are currently working on a solution to prevent these messages from being used in this Discord.

[warm yarrow]

New Channel #raid-discussions

Raid only related discussions, qna, resources, mechanics, etc. Stay on topic for this one similar to the help channel.

[reef salmon]

Frequent Discord Security Reminder:

Constantly we are seeing accounts becoming compromised. Posting scam messages in the community in an attempt to spread the scam to more members.

There are a few steps you can take to prevent this from happening:

1. • Never download any file from any user unless you can speak to that user via voice and recognize the user on the other end.
2. • If you receive a DM from a user asking you to join a server (mostly for porn), never click the invite link.
3. • Never scan a QR code sent through Discord. No server, bot or Discord themselves will ever send you a QR code to scan.
4. • Do not visit websites you are not familiar with.
5. • Never login to a website using Discord that is not discord.com.
6. • If a server requires you to verify yourself, it's a scam. Don't click the button. Just don't do it.

Good security practice also includes regularly changing your password and using a secure random password.
If you choose not to use a random password, be sure to do a password audit several times a year. You can start by using https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords.
We highly recommend the random password method and utilizing a service such as BitWarden or Google Password Manager for example to store your passwords securely.
Also enable Two Factor Authentication and never enter your auth code into anywhere besides discord.com.

At the end of the day you are responsible for the security of your account and taking good security practices.

A small list of the most common scams members fall for (you know who you are and so do we):

1. • Free roblox stuff
2. • Free steam gift cards and/or steam cash (Bro steam gift $$$)
3. • Free porn (seriously stop trying to get free porn on discord, there's places for it that aren't out to hijack your account)

We ban everyone whose accounts attempt to post scam messages. We have an extensive word filter that helps us block these messages before they even get sent. Yet we have seen the same accounts who have been unbanned for a compromised account pop back up. We do not unban you if you've fallen for scams more than once. Now if you do get banned for having a compromised account, when submitting a ban appeal don't enter in that you have no idea how it happen. We know you know and we know what it was.

You are the sole individual responsible for your account and the actions your account makes. If you fail to utilize common sense, that's on you and no one else.

To add, if you join a server specifically to purchase Lost Ark gold, carries, etc. You are heavily risking your account being compromised and possibly banned by Discord as well.

Community Reminder

As the US Election comes up, we wish to remind everyone of our stance on political discussion within the community.

As per our #rules-info, we do not want any political discussion to be a part of the community. While we understand everyone has their own views and opinions, we do not exist for that sort of discussion. This is a community for a video game and nothing more. Sure some may make jokes they they feel are harmless, but another member may view that as an attack on their views and beliefs. And in such would result in retaliatory responses, which just makes it a bad time for everyone.

So let's refrain from political comments and discussions. This also pertains to religous discussion and comments as well. Those sort of things just have no place here. Let's keep it to video games, whether its a love or hate or what not. Moderation staff will be watching chats more closely and we encourage you to reach out if you feel a conversation has gone into the political sphere via #old-support-tickets.

Thank you.

[midnight pebble]

Community Reminder

Do not respond to suspicious dms.

As of recently , number of suspicious dms have increased. Please do not respond to any suspicious dms.
To follow up here's a number of things you should avoid doing when receiving suspicious dm:

1. • Never download any file from any user unless you can speak to that user via voice and recognize the user on the other end.
2. • If you receive a DM from a user asking you to join a server (mostly for porn), never click the invite link.
3. • Never scan a QR code sent through Discord. No server, bot or Discord themselves will ever send you a QR code to scan.
4. • Do not visit websites you are not familiar with.
5. • Never login to a website using Discord that is not discord.com.
6. • If a server requires you to verify yourself, it's a scam. Don't click the button. Just don't do it.

At the end of the day you are responsible for the security of your account and taking good security practices.

So to sum up , do not respond to any suspicious dm and avoid taking any action mentioned above.

Thank you.

Bussing/Piloting

Since Amazon made a post about adervertising these services in game, we'd like to just take a moment to reiterate our community rules on the subject.

We do not allow any advertising bussing/piloting services. This means you are not allowed to ask for these services nor are you allowed to offer these services. Also using clever wording in attempts to bypass this will result in either temporary mutes or permanent removal from the community.

Please be sure to read up on our #rules-info

Security Reminder

It's your responsibility to maintain the security of your account and the actions you take. Never click on a link you cannot verify is real and safe. No one is giving away Steam money, free robux, minecraft skins or crypto. Stop falling for these obvious scams. Never scan a QR code from a user or server. If a server requires you to scan a QR code to enter, leave immediately.

[jolly dock]

Security Reminder

We're seeing an increase in reports from users being DMed to "try my game" or otherwise download third party software (in many cases related to Lost Ark) again on the server. A small reminder to please not download anything you are sent in DMs (either it's going to jack your PC, or all your login tokens for any account on your PC). Instead, go to #support-tickets and open a ticket, providing a copy of the DM in a screenshot as well as the user ID (the long number from right click - copy ID) in order for us to investigate.

In one weeks times we will be making a quality of life change to the server. In one weeks time the Korea and Russia sections of the server will only be accessible via specific roles. To get ready for this change, please visit the #414113429675048960 channel and assign yourself the proper roles.

The roles and command are as follows:

.role RU
.role KR

We will make another announcement one day prior to applying these changes.

[silver void]

#info-dump has been moved to General Discussion for access for both KR and RU

[reef salmon]

Only 3 days remain to get yourself assigned to the correct roles for both the Russia and Korea Lost Ark sections. We've also gone ahead and created a role specifically for this channel. So if you DO want to get general discord updates, be sure to assign yourself the Updates role. Below you will find the commands to use to get said roles in the #414113429675048960 channel.

.role KR
.role RU
.role Updates

All changes will be applied this Friday. So be sure to assign yourself the roles you wish to have for the specific channels you want to and not want to see. And yes, you can assign yourself all the roles if you wish.

And a side note, the RU CBT begins tomorrow the 25th. We'll be doing giveaways over the next few hours for a total of 15 ExitLag 7 Day Codes via the #436599768181899265 channel. Be sure to enter if you want a chance to win.

[reef salmon]

@everyone

Last notice to the discord changes. Later today we'll be changing how this discord is viewed. If you would like to only see a specific regions channels, make sure you grab the correct role for it. And since I know you all love my pings be sure if you want to keep up to date with the latest Discord news, assign yourself the Updates role.

Use the following commands in the #414113429675048960 channel:

.role KR
.role RU
.role Updates

Again, this is the last warning on this. These changes will be made later on today. And from here on out we will only be tagging the Updates role in this channel rather than everyone. This will be the last you get if you don't want to receive updates from this channel. And yes, you can have all the roles.

[reef salmon]

Now that the RU CBT is over, it's time to take a break and get ready for the OBT sometime later this month. I hope you all enjoyed your time in game.

In the mean time, I'd like to ask if anyone would like to take part in this short questionnaire about ExitLag during the CBT. Everyone who participates in the questionnaire will be entered to win a 30 Day ExitLag Code. There will be five winners total.

Been hearing from a lot of folks wondering what the recommended VPN is to use for Lost Ark for both the Korea and Russian versions.

ExitLag is by far the easiest and most reliable VPN we've come across. The app is super simple to understand, their support is really good and the ping is probably the lowest I've personally seen. ExitLag has propably the best metrics and statistics out there. So if you've been bouncing between different VPNs or if the thought of using a VPN scares you, don't worry. We have guides written up to walk you through the entire process from setup to logging into Lost Ark.

ExitLag works for many other games than just Lost Ark too! You don't have to but if you use our link to get yourself 3 days of ExitLag for free plus a discount on top of that.

Our moderator applications are now closed. Thanks to everyone who has shown interest and applied. We received 50 applications! Please give us time to go over them carefully. Those who will not be selected can have their applications roll over for when we would like to expand and add more moderators.

We've made another change to the server. Our #guides-and-info is now a curated collection of guides to make it easier for newcomers to find the information they're looking for. The previous guides channel had a lot of video and written guides since the KR betas. We've made it into a more informal #info-dump . Staff, Community Helpers, Content Creators and now Scholar roles have access to post messages. You may request to have your guides/info posted or given the Scholar role. Please keep the channel clean and only post updated information of either guides or stat collection. This is not a space to advertise. We've also moved these two channels to "INFO AND GUIDES" category along with #video-clips to clean up the server.

Regional EU/NA channels are still planned. We might have to separate the NA role into NA West and NA East to make separate channels for them.

[warm yarrow]

All <@&755221240284839965> members please head over to #navigation and get your proper NA East and NA West roles. The NA role will be deleted in the near future. Regional channels are slowly coming up and will be unlocked when ready. All the recruitment channels have been moved to the bottom in their own category and we'll be giving access soon. Thanks for your patience.

[warm yarrow]

We have new mods! Welcome @topaz escarp @silver void @safe hemlock @surreal jewel @twilit badge @regal parcel @frail umbra to our discord staff! We had many applications and we will probably need more mods in the future. We will still use the remaining applications for when we need new mods. It was hard to choose, there were a lot of qualified individuals. A big deciding factor was knowing the applicants based on their activity in the server, which many lacked.

Since we have mods now, that means guild recruitment will be opened soon. Region channels can wait till the beta test. NDA will be lifted during beta test so expect an influx of new friends. Thanks again to those who showed their interest in joining our team, see you around in the community.

[warm yarrow]

Hey all :
If you haven't done so already, please grab the region role from #navigation . NA has been split into NA East and NA West.

As promised, guild recruitment channels are now open for Guild Masters to post their recruitment messages in. You must get your appropriate region role from #navigation to unlock.

Region channels will still be closed until the Beta test.
There will only be one beta test until headstart release.
We have suspended Content Creator role requests until after the beta test.

We will also be taking a more serious action towards players who are spreading misinformation such as fake dates/announcement/monetization. New players will continue to ask questions and are being misguided with either troll answers or false information.

We just had a few in-house 3v3 pick up matches in RU with the folks over at #pvp-general . @twilit badge hosted and casted the games along with @minor bay. We plan on having more events like these in the future, with some being more organized and hopefully include rewards as well.

If you would like to be notified about future pvp events we'll have, grab the PVP role from #navigation . Thanks for coming along for the test run.

Today we had someone join the discord with over 100 accounts and begin to mass spam in DMs to people. We have removed the accounts from discord.

Friendly Security Reminder:

If you ever receive a DM from someone whether part of our community or not and it contains a file or a link, never open those. Typically these are malware used to take control of your computer, steal your person information or even use your computer as part of a botnet to ddos other servers and computers.

If you have not, I highly recommend enabling Two Factor Authentication via Settings > My Account and enable Two Factor Authentication.

@everyone Read above please.

We would like to announce our first** Lost Ark Community Brawl**!
This casual PvP hotswap event will be held on** Friday, July 23rd, at 22:30 RU Server Time** (MSK).

This will be run as customs in TDM mode. Teams will be randomised - depending on the number of applicants we may have multiple instances running at once.
If you win your match, you get to play again - but teams are still randomised. If you win twice, then a new player will take your place.

This is an opportunity to show us what you're capable of, and to start networking for potential future PvP tournaments!

The event will be streamed and casted on Twitch, and will last about 2 to 3 hours: https://www.twitch.tv/lostarkdiscord
Registration is open until Thursday July 22nd at 22:30 RU Server Time (MSK) so make sure to book your spot here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc7SAUr-E-LvqVz_6vL8Uixts8P0rmAwlkuFIeoxjyP9zf39g/viewform?usp=pp_url

I have added PVP Customs role for those who want to be pinged anytime someone wants to start customs matches. #navigation Use the #pvp-general to recruit players and the #871077452833775656 thread to discuss/organize your custom matches. Currently we have mainly RU players but we hope to use a similar system on western release. <@&863155761257250826>

Threads have also been integrated in our server. Our staff will continue to experiment with the new thread system and find ways for how we can apply them to Lost Ark and the discord server. Some ideas currently are for overflow of discussions, private threads for lfg parties, support/troubleshooting threads, multiple help/discussion channels during high activity, etc. If you have any more ideas, don't hesitate to let us know in #request-a-mod . Just also keep in mind, we don't want the server and channel list to become too cluttered. We're trying to keep a healthy balance between the number of channel we want and need.

[warm yarrow]

Due to the delay and the new patch, we have a lot of new players joining the Russian server. We have an entire subcommunity of RU players with channels for help and guild recruitment for each Region. Be sure to grab the Russian role from #navigation to unlock them! This will also give you access to the patch channel.

Do you guys want role icons to be Class icons, Region icons, or both? Role icons display a small emote/pic next to everyone's name. Only one icon is displayed.

There are a few conflicts with each one. Role icon displays for the highest role on the list (linear hierarchy).
Server Region role Icons

The NA East, NA West, EU roles are at the bottom, only way these can be displayed are if they are the only roles with icons or if the user does not have any other class role selected

Class Icons

The icons will be the class emblem emote
Only one class icon can be displayed meaning any role that is higher on the list will display the icon.
If people wanted multiple class roles (for the channels) but display their main icon, we would need to make the class roles vanity and unlock every class channel by default.

Both

In this scenario you would have combination of above and region icons would be hidden most of the time because of class icons

By choosing class icon you would want class channels to be unlocked by default

[brave scarab]

Which role icon method do you want?

1️⃣ Region Icons

2️⃣ Class Icons

3️⃣ Both

Hey everyone, there have been some disturbing reports going around in other discord servers of a major exploit that is taking over people's accounts (even with 2fa). There are also vulnerabilities with the Android Discord client especially when it comes to viewing DMs. Do not talk to or view DMs or links from compromised accounts. The exploit will take over your account and change your email and password immediately, locking you out. 2FA does not keep you safe from this.

What to look out for:

• Images/videos with embeds that do not load or show a continuous loading animation DO NOT CLICK IT
• Suspicious links or files being uploaded to the discord
• Strange DMs (Do not open on android)

Please let us know if you see anything like this and we will swiftly ban and report the user.
There are even recommendations to not use your Android clients on your phone.
If you think you may have been compromised, change your password immediately. This will reset your auth token and sign you out other devices. Stay safe.
Edit: I also recommend turning off DMs from your public servers

[warm yarrow]

Happy Turkey Day to those in the states! 🦃

[warm yarrow]

Please note, we were raided by 160 bot accounts with name variations of "GiveawayBot". Our anti-raid bot did a great job of swiftly banning these accounts within seconds.

We've decided to reduce the maximum number of embeds on guild recruitment posts to 1 for the sake of simplicity and less clutter.
This does not include the Discord embed, so you can still show off your guild aesthetic in your recruitment post!

While we've got your attention, please remember that guild-recruitment posts are limited to once every 2 weeks.

Guild Recruitment Update

The way we have had users submit a request to advertise your guild through the guild recruitment channels is being changed. Going forward when submitting a request to advertise your guild, you will be directed to a form to fill out. Upon filling the form out, Moderators will be notified and they will go over your request. You will be sent a DM by the Dyno bot notifying you of the decision.

To stay better informed it's best to open your DMs when you submit the request until you receive a decision. Once your request has been submitted, you will not be able to edit or change any details within it. So take your time when filling the form out. And DMing/pinging a Moderator will not speed your request up.

You can find the link to the form in the pinned messages in each regions Guild Recruitment channel.

Note: Sending a request does not guarantee acceptance.

//Edit: This is only for users who do not already have the Guild Master role.

Hey everyone, we're always very supportive of community contributions and are excited to recognize our very own veteran contributors' accomplishment on their new project, Lost Ark branch of Maxroll. https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/ The project intends to focus on NA/EU release content and maintain guides for the future. Some examples of guides are classes/raids/dungeons/leveling/island/engraving/adventure tomes etc. We will add these guides to our growing library of resources on discord.

While we aren't sponsored, we felt that both their work and backgrounds deserve attention. Their guides and dedication to the community have existed since the KR release days (2018) and helped shape today's server as we know it. Many of you were not present in that time and aren't aware of the significance their contributions, so I will be your loremaster instead! The first two are not as well known since they are not streamer/youtube creators however I'll provide some background info.

@rugged bobcat has been a part of this community since the the Korean OBT in 2018. His total messages in this discord total up to 100k+ messages and is by far the most active user on the discord. You've seen him in pretty much every class channel helping out new players with their questions and discussing with vets. He was the creator of the famed Lost Ark Classes Guide https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A9Ujv369-3b5iHHjAc7JCvvEwnrgkGG_-V0UYGeSMcg/edit?usp=sharing that gave all players the recommended builds and engravings for most classes. Reitear manages our class channel pins as he has all his builds and information in almost every class channel. Other third party sites have been using his doc as a basis for their own articles but now his work is officially hosted on Maxroll and will continue to be updated.

@topaz escarp has also been around as part of this community since Korean OBT in 2018. Many of you might not know but he made one of the first english guide sites for the english Lost Ark community called https://infolao.tistory.com/. He has been a core contributor since then. Infolao has since accrued 3.5 million views and a lot of the information like raids, collectibles, and island information was publicly used on several sites and guides. A year ago, he was approached by Ryu to transfer his information from Infolao to a cleaner format on a well recognized site that you all know, Papunika. Since then, Ryu has continued to grow his own site and expand with his own hardwork.

@rough gorge , another Lost Ark veteran, and the founder of T-Party has been apart of this community since way before Korean OBT. Both his channels and community discord have contributed in showcasing and guiding the Lost Ark community since the early days in Korea CBT when both access and translations were scarce. Perci has always been a great help to the community and this discord in its formative years.

@glacial dagger has also been playing since Korean OBT and has been livestreaming and uploading youtube content. He's mainly a PvE player and focuses on collectibles. He is huge on efficiency and min-maxing with his scrapper/infighter guides being well acknowledged in the community.

@woeful shell has also been playing since Korean OBT. While he did both PvE and PvP, account bans on the Korean server caused him to primarily focus on PvP. He hit high rank in Korea with 156 ping on Summoner, Sorcerer, and Bard as well as on RU. Despite being known as having ranged brain, he has high level knowledge on all other classes in the game.

@stray sphinx needs no introduction. Saintone has been helping the community with his massive season 2 document and has been involved since the Korean beta tests. He is one of the primary representatives of Lost Ark and has offered a deep look into the Korean version of the game. He is one of the highest ranking players in Korea in terms of strength and clearing achievements.

All these players have a deep love for this game since the launch in Korea and wish to see a successful Western Launch. Please continue to support them and their contributions.

We would like to announce our second Lost Ark PvP Community Brawl! <@&624666368926679060>
This casual event will be held on Saturday, January 29th, at 21:00 RU Server Time (MSK). <t:1643479200:f>

This is a bit of a last-hurrah for all of us on RU. With SA, NAE, NAW and EU, this is our chance to get an event where all kinds of players can gather together to have some fun. There is no need to sign up now, as we will be using a Queue System to have players register and play right before the event is due to go live. We will share more information on how to enter the queue and participate on the day of the event.

The event will be run as customs in TDM mode. 6 players will be pulled from a shuffled queue and then teams will be put together - we promise to try and balance out comps and players wherever we are able.

Whether you win or lose, that's it for you! The next set of players are then pulled and we will continue to run through until the queue is empty - though don't worry, as the registration will be open even as matches go on.

The event will be streamed and casted on Twitch. We are aiming for a duration of about 2-3 hours depending on attendance. You will be able to watch the event at: https://www.twitch.tv/lin_null

Make sure to grab the PVP EVENTS Role in #navigation to be notified of the event on the day and unlock event channels. And if you're interested in more casual customs - regardless of a server event or not - then get the PVP Customs role too.

Long overdue, but we are trying something new. We are setting up Community Moderators to help distribute moderation for the now larger user base. This role will have less responsibilities compared to our staff moderators however it will be a good way to eventually get promoted to Staff Mod.

We've been noticing an increase in "NSFW" content going around. While we know it's all in good fun, we need to maintain a certain standard for our server to stay considerate of all people that might want to be part of our community. Failure to abide by our warnings result in mutes and possible bans. If a staff member tells you to stop, just stop.

Q: How do I know what's considered "NSFW"?

Use common sense. If the main purpose of the GIF is to display the human body in a lewd light, then it's most likely NSFW. If a GIF contains a character wearing a bathing suit in the background, then that's obviously fine.

Posting any content that is borderline NSFW will result in a warning and post being deleted.
Posting any pornographic images/gifs whether they are real or animated will result in a permanent ban with no appeal.
Spamming anything is against our rules as well. Which will result in it's own punishments.

Going forward we have decided to disable posting links to #general-chat. All memes now have their own dedicated channel in #memes. We'll be starting with a super long and annoying 30 second cooldown. Over time we'll change this depending on the activity in that channel.

I understand we have grown significantly within the last week or so. However, every user agrees and is expected to read the rules upon joining. Please do remember that all of our moderation staff are volunteers. We're all here for our love and interest in Lost Ark. Let's not forget that.

They work the same way as Discord Nitro scams, where your PC and login credentials gets stolen and your accounts compromised, so remember to always turn on 2FA! https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/219576828-Setting-up-Two-Factor-Authentication

We are aware that the demand for EUW channel support on our discord is increasing.
We are working on it, everyone. It does take a little bit of time to sync all the permissions, but it will be ready sooner than later.
Thank you for your patience.

As per popular demand, we are compiling a list of Game server community discords. Please direct users to this sheet for reference.
If you own a community server discord, please message me or Lai.

We've re-opened #general-chat for everyone.

Please keep in mind to follow the server rules. We have also decided to stop doing ban appeals. If you get banned, muted or warned, there are no appeals process. I encourage everyone to re-read our rules at #rules-info

We'd also like to remind everyone, this is not an official Amazon/Smilegate discord. And the Moderators/Staff are not Amazon/Smilegate employees.

[warm yarrow]

Due to recent voice chat spam and abuse from multiple users, we are forcing push-to-talk in our voice channels. Please set it up if you haven't already done so.

[regal parcel]

Notice:
We have been getting a lot of inquiries about creating a scammer blacklist. Logistically, we cannot manage something like this as it's near impossible for us to verify legitimate scam claims.

However:
Please remember that there is an in-game report system with an option for scammers. If scammers are consistently reported, AGS will ban them from the game entirely, so please use this integrated function if you're ever scammed.

Today we are introducing our Looking For Group services.

Plenty of times you may find yourself struggling to find a group to play group content in the game. Whether be an Abyssal Dungeon, Chaos grinding or any event. Playing with PUGs can suck. With the tool we have now you can easily create or join a group, organize your strategies within a private text channel or a voice channel and play that piece of content more efficiently.

Simply navigate to #944813265123418182 and read the simple steps on how to either start a group or join a group. Make sure you stop by #navigation and grab the role for the region you play in!

[reef salmon]

All permissions are set for the LFG channels. We wanted to roll them out slowly to everyone so you all get a chance to read #944813265123418182

[surreal jewel]

Hello there!

While we entirely empathize with the current situation in the world, please understand that this is a gaming discord, and all political discussions should be kept out of it.

We will be taking the appropriate measures towards any users who initiate or participate in these topics, please - Show some respect and comply with our rules.

Thank you!

[warm yarrow]

Moving forward, we will make server status/hotfix/downtime/maintenance announcements in the new region update channels.
Example: #eu-central-updates

You will need to grab the region roles from #navigation to unlock these channels if you haven't already done so.

As per request, we will keep #announcements for game based news rather than downtime.
We will make one last announcement during this week's upcoming maintenance.

[warm yarrow]

There has been a recent raid of hacked users spamming.
We have blacklisted the link and disabled all links temporarily while we clean this up.
Remember to never click links in incidents like these.
Please be patient until we turn links back on, thanks.

Server is in lock down, role-assignment channel is disabled for the time being

Edit: Links are globally reenabled.
Server is no longer in lock down.

[reef salmon]

Friendly Reminder:

This is a gaming discord for the video game Lost Ark.
This is not the place to discuss politics, race, gender issues, etc.

If you are unfamiliar with our rules, you can re-read them over at #rules-info

We've also been getting daily reports of people being hateful, extremely toxic and racist in voice chats. Please do remember, most larger servers don't have voice chats because of this issue.

Our policy has always been to not allow these types of behaviors within the server. We want everyone to feel welcomed and able to just jump right in with random people and enjoy the game together.

As a reminder, we do not offer appeals on bans/warnings/mutes/timeouts no matter the situation. If you find someone breaking any of the server rules in a voice chat, try your best to have audio recordings and submit it to us in #old-support-tickets. Same goes for text channels, you can simply screenshot the message and right click and click on Copy ID and include that as well. (take note that we are not amazon/smilegate and we cannot offer you technical support)

We've also passed the 250,000 member mark on the discord. And the subreddit is over 314,000 members.

[regal parcel]

A due reminder:
Any form of RMT is strictly prohibited on our server, absolutely no exceptions. If a moderator of any kind asks you to stop a discussion about RMT, stop it.

Additionally, advertising RMT on your Discord profile is also prohibited on our server. You will receive a first and final warning upon discovery, and a permanent ban with no appeal if you refuse to change upon first request.

In case anyone is confused about what RMT is:
Real money trading. Anything involving selling gold, accounts, boosting, carries, etc. for real money is classified as RMT.

We have added a new bot for our voice channels called Votekick.
It allows users in a channel to vote to kick a user if they are spamming music/sounds or obscenities.
This is not to be used keep people out of voice channels, they are for public use.
We have logs of everything, do not abuse the bot.

You will find it in #votekick. Make sure to also report users after kicking in #old-support-tickets so they may be punished.
Currently it is only applied in the General lobbies.
We're working with the bot devs to keep a close eye out on misuses.

Also the merchant bot is almost ready, hang tight!

[warm yarrow]

We are still testing things with our merchant bot over in #941175805487235112
Our role assignment gets slowed down and may not function properly while so many requests are coming in
/create is not for setting up alerts, its for making posts that will alert users.
Abuse of this system to troll or spam will result in ban

With the arrival of Ranked PvP and the growth of the competitive scene in Lost Ark, we have decided to revamp our PvP sections in the server. Now, instead of a sub-channel in General Discussion, we have a PvP Discussion category catered to the PvP Community. There you will find:

#pvp-announcements - Upcoming tournaments, bracket registrations and event/tournament streams for PvP. Patch note summary pertaining specifically to PvP will also be posted here, albeit not pinged.
#pvp-general - This is the old #pvp-general channel, which has now been renamed.
#pvp-media - Instead of posting PvP clips, montages or screenshots in #video-clips, this is now a PvP exclusive section for media. With that in mind, PvP media should be posted in this channel instead of #video-clips. Keep discussions to a minimum.
#pvp-lfg - Use this to look for scrims or customs without using the LFG Bot. More free-form and not region locked, so please specify your region on post (check pins for formats).
#945419720214077540 #945419988578234389 #945420046690291802 #945420109793595422 - Use the LFG Bot to organise Custom Matches or parties for pre-made Normal Matches. To see the channel applicable to your region, make sure you have the appropriate region role.

We have also added a new role to #navigation: <@&955906705387053057>.

Tournaments are sprouting left and right and pinging multiple times for bracket registrations and streams can be a bit overkill. So if you want to be notified of any upcoming tournaments, bracket registrations or pvp-related events, take the <@&863155761257250826> role. If instead you're interested in just looking at tournament streams and watching events, then use the <@&955906705387053057> role.

If you want both, then grab both! Keep in mind **you will be pinged very often ** with the two above roles.

The last 24 hours or so have been pretty hectic. During this time we have been testing a new Discord feature called AutoMod. What AutoMod does is provide us built-in automated moderation tools to help alleviate the stress put on our Moderation staff. In the last 12 hours from this post we tested just the Word Filter portion using the filter list provided by Discord. Fun Fact: We actually have no idea what all the words are in this list. So it's been a bit trial and error just watching what words get filtered. I know it's been a bit of a headache having words get filtered that previously were not. And based on that plus our pre-existing filter we've put together a better filter list to better fit our community and our rules.

I've been working closely with Discord Developers to help bring more tools and features to our community. Over the next week or so we will be making several more announcement to inform everyone about the new tools and features when they become available. We have a lot in the works to come both soon and down the road. And I think the way we use and implement these new tools and features will be welcomed by most of our community.

Regarding discussions surrounding addons
<@&626116271511175179>
We would like to remind you all that discussing/sharing/encouraging third party addons/exploits/cheats/macros is not allowed on our server.
As a partnered discord server, we are required to take down any such messages that would break either discord TOS or the game TOS that our community represents.
There has been a popular addon recently that has gotten some attention in the community, we will be taking down discussions surrounding it unless Amazon/Smilegate have approved of it.

Please be mindful that this is a community discord server with partner status. Thanks!

[warm yarrow]

The class role colors will keep changing, we're just experimenting colors so we can add more roles in the future. Please hang tight until then.

[warm yarrow]

<@&510890887476150273> ,
As per popular demand, we have set up new LF-guild (Looking For Guild) channels that are region based.
This will create a space for users to announce that they are looking for a guild on their designated server.
Unfortunately we cannot make it server specific (would require additional 49 channels).

Please read the instructions in the channel description or pinned. Follow the format to announce your lfguild post.
We recommend opening your DMs in this server if you're looking for a guild.

Recruiters may add a reaction to posts that they have contact or a quick reply of "message sent"
If the channel gets too cluttered with replies, we will disable them and keep the reaction system.
No side conversations are allowed.

You need region roles to access these channels.
Please let us know in #request-a-mod if you have any additional suggestions/complaints

Also for potential guild recruiters, we have updated the application process using embedded forms in #guild-recruitment.
This should speed up the process for our mods to approve applications.

Today we are releasing a new feature for the community.

You may have noticed in the top left below the server banner a new thing called Premium Memberships. We have been working closely with discord developers and administrators to bring new features to our community. And Premium Memberships are the first of many to become available. So why Premium Memberships? First off, it's the first new feature discord asked us to offer to our community. Secondly it's a way to support the community and stand out. We've written up a very detailed FAQ in #premium-faq answering most if not all of your burning questions you may have.

I would like to reiterate a question that we have answered in the FAQ: You are not required to have a Premium Membership to utilize the community. We will never take anything away from community members and give them only to Premium Members.

Premium Memberships are designed to be another way for community members to show their support for the community. In return you receive a special role with a unique color and a role icon displayed in your profile and every message sent. You will also be displayed separately in the member list on the right. We also have a bunch of channels that are exclusive to Premium Members as well. With features such as Creative Preset Counselling, Giveaways (not exclusive to Premium) and more.

Keep in mind that this feature is still in active development by discord developers. Some features may change over time and new features may be added in the future as well. To point out again, no one is required to have a Premium Membership to utilize the community. It is entirely optional and appreciated.

Regarding #looking-for-group channel

We are noticing misuse of our lfg channels with posts containing a lot of spacing and unnecessary information.
Please keep your lfg posts short and concise. Preferably 1 - 5 lines long max.
Guild ads are also not allowed, this isnt a channel for advertising your guild/static setup.

Just post which position you're looking for or which position your character is looking to fill.
If we continue to see users try to inflate their posts to take up space, we will take action accordingly.

Example: LFG Valtan Normal - Valtan Server - 1425 Wardancer - Available on Thursday and Friday Evenings - DM me

We are aware of the issue where some channels cannot be collapsed and stay that way. I've reached out and informed Discord about it. They are looking into it. Trust me I know it's annoying, it's happening to me on my phone too.

[reef salmon]

Just a friendly reminder that we do not allow the following to be posted within the community:

• Unauthorized third party software screenshots/links
• Third party currency/account/item reseller screenshots/links
• Anything that would break the Amazon Games Studio and/or Discord Terms of Service

This is applied to screen/game sharing within voice channels as well.

[warm yarrow]

REMINDER: False reports of server status and other attempts to intentionally spread misinformation are punishable as per our server rules.

[reef salmon]

Another Reminder: Bumping your posts in any forum is against the forum rules. It is stated so in each and every forum. If you are found to be bumping your posts, whether by typing "bump" or trying to cleverly bump them without editing your original post, you will lose access to all LFG sections of this community.

Hey everyone, tomorrow (July 5th) in the evening we will be re-enabling the ability to sell buses in the community.

We have developed our bot to help facilitate this better than in the past when we allowed it. This time around we have made a few features to hold busers more accountable than just word of mouth reputation.

So let's explain the process from start to finish.

1. • A community member who wishes to offer busing services submits an application to become approved.
2. • If approved, that Driver can now post a busing advertisement in a region specific channel once every X time (3 hours if you have premium or 6 hours if non-premium)
3. • Once you provide a bus to members, the Driver can come back to Discord and report a successful bus.
4. • The Driver will provide the discord names of the other Drivers and Passengers. Then the Passengers will receive a DM from our bot explaining to them a Driver has requested them to rate their bus.
5. • The Passenger then uses a command to rate the Driver. Each Driver has a rating that is compounded by an ELO style rating as well to result in an average rating from 1 to 5.

There are other useful commands to get a Drivers rating history and general information as well. While we do hold Drivers to a much higher standard than Passengers, both Drivers and Passengers can be reported for bad faith. And depending on evidence provided, either can be warning, lose access to busing or removed from the community entirely. However, we do not support any type of real money transactions as they are against the Amazon Games Studio Lost Ark Terms of Service (that's a mouth full).

Keep in mind, we are just an outlet that provides an avenue for Drivers to advertise their services. At no time should price negotiations occur within this community. All negotiations should transpire with DMs privately between the Driver and Passenger. And if a Driver/Passenger needs to report another user, use a support ticket in the correct channel that will become visible when we launch this tomorrow. Never should you call people out in public channels. And while we're on the subject of rules...

Our rules are pretty simple and straight forward:

1. • When utilizing/offering Busing services, all monetary transactions must be performed in-game with in-game currency/items.
2. • Payment must be discussed privately between you and the Driver.
3. • No RMT is to be used within the discord community as payment.
4. • Scamming other community members is not tolerated.
5. • If issues between Driver and Passenger arise, please submit a ticket rather than bring it to attention in public channels.
6. • Leaving an active Bus early can result in Busing access removal.

Okay :clownemoji: enabled. I demand over 1000 clowns

Once again we have another reminder to not click any suspicious links, even discord links.
There is a suspicious method of users DMing their message list with

"watch general"
<discord link here>

These accounts have been compromised, do not click the discord links. And if you fall for it, change your password and set up 2FA.

[reef salmon]

Also due to unforeseen circumstances, we will be delaying the release of paid busing to later in the week. We will however, be opening applications back up so you can get pre-approved before we open everything up.

[reef salmon]

Just an FYI we have decided to push the release of pay with in game gold not real money ever busing to this Friday. So in the mean time, you can get pre-approved via #985974275955646474 Just keep in mind we've set a limit of 50 applications max at a single time to alleviate the amount of work on moderators. You can however, view an example of the information you need to provide in your application in the above mentioned channel to come prepared.

Slight edit:
changed paid to pay with in game gold not real money ever

[minor bay]

Busing applications deadline and opening pay with in-game gold for busing <t:1657330200:R>.

[reef salmon]

<@&626116271511175179> Sorry not sorry for tag.

We've re-opened pay with gold busing in the community. In the past we had pay with gold busing during KR and RU. However, we ultimately had to close it down due to too much RMT and scamming. After a couple months of developing then re-developing busing over and over, we've come up with a decent system that is not only easy to use but also holds Drivers/Busers accountable via our bus report and rating system. So if you need to get through a piece of content but party finder or your group just isn't working out, you can find someone that knows what they are doing to take you through that content.

Be sure to read the rules in #959649305419980810 and depending on your region, you can view busing ads in these channels:

#980204559303573544
#980218181111148555
#980218219874906142
#980218246751989770

If you'd like to apply for a Drivers License to have the ability to offer busing, you can do so in #985974275955646474
