Many of us, especially those who frequent gamer communities, can’t imagine what our lives would be like without Discord. The platform gained popularity among users by combining the classic Internet forums with the group chat features of instant messaging apps, and additionally allowing them to create VoIP voice chat rooms for communication during online gaming sessions.
In the thousands of Discord servers, you can find everything from channels dedicated to following deals (the downfall of many of our wallets) or meme-sharing communities, to highly useful bots that add features like auto-moderation, music playback, or even Pokémon capturing. Yes, Discord is a wonderful place.
As the platform turns 8 years old, Discord wanted to celebrate its anniversary by offering a series of gifts and surprises that will delight many users who spend hours talking with their friends.
The first gift from Discord for its eighth anniversary is that all Activities (which allow you to play games or watch videos with friends) will be free until June 15th. This means that users can play Gartic Phone, Sketch Heads, Putt Party, or Bobble League together without spending a single penny.
Secondly, Discord aims to encourage the use of Nitro, its premium service, with special benefits for its subscribers. Those who are subscribed to the service will have access to a set of decorations to personalize their avatars and will be able to share a special two-week Nitro trial with up to 3 of their friends on Discord.
Lastly, Discord invites users to join their Discord Town Hall server, where a wide range of events and surprises will be organized throughout this month to commemorate their eighth anniversary. This includes game nights with special activities involving Discord staff, an activities tournament, and community events.
Whether you’re interested in these gifts or not, Discord is a place where you can meet incredible people and spend hours chatting with individuals who share your same interests and hobbies. Happy birthday, Discord!
