Back in December, Remedy and 505Games announced a new Discord Server for like-minded Control fans looking to talk about the latest game and get involved in some of the planned community events. Since then the numbers have flourished and this week saw its 1000th member join the FBC Agents rank.
Initially when the server launched, the studios arranged a giveaway as soon as the member number reached 500. In the first month, over 400 fans signed up, and later, pins and patches adorned with the Federal Bureau of Control's logo was sent to the ten lucky winners as soon as the milestone was hit.
The server has a lot of developers who sign in too, plus opportunities to submit questions to Q&As, or to get updates for livestreams. If that's something that you're interested in, make sure to check it out! (If you're looking for something a little slower paced with nerdy and long replies, there's also the Remedy Forums.)
The official @ControlRemedy Discord server has recently passed one thousand (1000!) members. Thanks, everyone!— Remedy Entertainment (@remedygames) May 7, 2019

Getting Started on the Server
If you haven't already joined, getting started on Discord is pretty easy as you can set up a free account in just a couple of minutes. When you join the server, you will have to wait ten minutes until your account becomes unlocked. For new accounts joining the Discord, you will need to join the FBC Agents team before you're able to post and join the discussions. Getting there is pretty simple, just type ".iam FBC Agents" (on its own and without quotation marks) into the text box of the #roles channel. You should be all ready to go then!
You can see if your request has gone through smoothly as the Pope bot will post "USERNAME You now have FBC Agents role." in bold underneath. If it doesn't go through, it might be because you typed "agent" instead of "agents", converted "iam" to "im", went back to edit your post after noticing a typo, or (I did this originally) put the group name in the same post as my pronoun. If you have any queries or issues, let one of the community team or mods know. If there is a typo, that's no problem, just post it again.
Other Remedy Communities
Of course, if you're joining Discord, there are also a number of wonderful community Discord servers already established with a closely knitted group of fans looking for new members. These channels include Kristy's Alan Wake server, Charlie's Quantum Break server, and the Control community server.
