I started back up recently looking for noob(ish) friendly people to play with etc

Any help is appreciated and ty for the troll posts as well.

Well you can feel free to join the clan chat "Rand". It's the unofficial d2jsp clan chat used by a few of us. If you have any questions regarding the CC feel free to message me.

As for a discord there isn't a real active discord that I am aware of for the community.
