Joining Rooms

Summary#

When you join the server, you will automatically be placed into the Announcements and Welcome Room rooms where fellow users will help you get started and answer any questions you may have. We have dozens of rooms available to join, based on various topics from politics to tactics and training.

These rooms need to be joined voluntarily, depending on your interests. You are welcome to join as little, or as many as you wish! This tutorial explains how you can join these rooms.
