Join our Discord here! We've recently added a couple of new things, including an updated #info page, new rank colours and new channels including #anime and #feed!
Advertising
Reddit - /r/EscapeRestart was recently acquired again, Jeercrul has offered to help with the CSS. The subreddit is still a large WIP, and is under-going a lot of changes atm - so it may be a bit messy. Also, we have posted a post on /r/mcservers! If you want, you should go upvote it so we can get more users. You can view the post here.
Graphics - There's a ton of new graphics coming out soon also, so be prepared for that. You will be seeing screenshots and other images with them soon.
Streaming / Social Media - I'll be releasing google forms soon so people can apply to either be a Streamer for EscRes or help run Social Media. The post will be coming up within this week, so keep your eyes peeled for that. IF you are really interested and want to help soon, just PM Hex.
Afternote - If you want to help with advertising, and you think you are able to in any way (Graphics, Videos, Rendering, Social Media, etc) Don't be afraid to contact me! I will be opening a google form for this soon to gather more people, but if you want to be an immediate help - you can always PM Hex.
