The same news the launcher shows when you open it.
A new character can now choose true Hardcore right after arriving in Vana'diel. No boosts at all: era EXP from everything, base crafting and fishing skill-ups. You party, trade and mail only with other Hardcore adventurers, and the Auction House is closed to you. Die to a monster and the character is gone for good. A flaming laurel marks the brave. The fallen are remembered in #the-fallen on our Discord.
Brave enough? A new character can choose Titan Mode right after arriving in Vana'diel: five times the EXP, better finds, faster recovery and a golden laurel beside your name. But die to a monster and that job starts over at level 1, and the whole server hears how you fell. (Titan Mode was called Hardcore until today.)
Collect monster cards and play them on Discord: type /beastiary play in the Olympus Discord. Monsters you slay sometimes leave a card behind, and the launcher now shows a toast when they do. Link your character with /link so the cards find you; #beastiary has the setup guide.
Your Discord profile can now show what you're up to: your character, jobs, zone, and whether you're looking for a party. Party Finder listings show up in our Discord's #looking-for-group too. Hide your zone or name, or switch it off, in Settings.
