Its almost Valentine's Day again! The spirit of love is in the air- and so is several updates to our Azure Infinitum Community!
Rules & Guidelines Charter Update
Its been a couple years since the Charter at the center of Azure Infinitum's community was updated. In 2024 at the start of Azure's Ascension plan- which took a big inward look at our organization, policies, structure, and more- the charter saw its biggest update ever. A lot of info had been added over an entire decade by myself and previous leaders, and it was time to condense, simplify, and reorganize.
Today I've rolled out a 'touch-up' to the 2024 Charter's revamp. Clarification was needed in several spots, as well as multi-game supporting lingo that fits all of our guilds across many games. Some info has also been removed that was no longer needed, pertaining to old channels for mature content. That brings me to the next topic below.
Our Stance on Adult/NSFW Content Has Changed
Previously our Discord Server supported an 18+ NSFW channel that allowed some light posting of adult content, themes, jokes, and more- so long as content followed a number of restrictions. This was the single and only place in Azure where such was allowed, though many members have expressed over time it felt like it was barely NSFW with how many restrictions were in place. The channel was seldom used anyways. Following Discord's recent announcements regarding age-gated features, ID age verifications, and more related things to come, I decided it was in Azure's best interest not to provide such a channel in our community that could end up requiring such a verification if/when Discord rolls out those new policies. Especially given past situations where Discord has had huge data breaches.
That being said, the Rules & Guidelines Charter, and our Discord Server Rules have been updated to reflect our revised stance on NSFW content within our Azure services. (This means any Azure property, chat channel, Discord, website, and the like).
To maintain a safe and respectful gaming community, posting, sharing, linking, or displaying any NSFW or adult content is strictly prohibited across our network and services. And as always within Azure, this also includes the prohibition of pornography, nudity, sexual acts, explicit or suggestive imagery (real or animated), fetish content, sexualized minors, adult service promotions, and inappropriate sexual discussions. NSFW profile pictures, usernames, banners, emojis, or embedded links are also not allowed. Violations may result in content removal, warnings, or immediate bans depending on severity.
Azure Infinitum on Discord Discovery Begins As We Cross 1k Members!
I'm proud to announce that our Azure Infinitum Discord has crossed 1k members! It is now approved to be listed on Discord's Website with its very own profile, as seen above. Its also got a listing in the Discord app's "Discovery" tab! I hope this helps many new future members find their way to Azure Infinitum!
Azure Infinitum Discord Text & VC Channel Update
New to our Discord this morning is a revised and semi-consolidated channel list! As our server grows and new games, activities, and topics are added, its important to maintain a healthy number of channels to chat and find information, all while keeping things tidy.
You may notice that some channels have moved to better places, freeing up other categories. Our Media and Game categories were merged, and several channels have been renamed to reflect their purposes or better explain what they're for.
Azure Wings Voice Channels have been given a category of their own to better highlight their existence and to bring them higher up with most of the rest of the voice channels, for better discovery, and so members don't feel so isolated being way down below. Some channels have had Game 'tags' added on to more clearly clarify what and where they are, such as our FFXIV, Destiny 2, Star Citizen Voice Chats, and our extra Wing VCs. Should our other Wings gain more activity and require more VCs, we'll add them!
Speaking of Azure Wings...
The time has come! Our newest Azure Wing for Warframe has arrived!
Complete with its Wing Page listing, Dojo guild hall in-game, special Roles in Discord, and all new Discord chat, forum, and screenshot channels, its go time!
The new clan is spearheaded by Azure Scout Captain and Azure Warframe Wing Commander Ascelin Lycoria, who is working closely with me on this exciting new addition to Azure's family of guilds and clans!
Join us fellow Tenno, and help save the universe! Search for Azure Infinitum in the in-game community clan search. If you're having trouble, reach out to us in our new Warframe Chat in Discord!
Please keep in mind that this is a brand new clan. While we've made sure to get our Dojo (guild hall) and some resources underway, this will continue to take some time to grow. Our goal is to eventually begin at least 1-2 weekly events, and continue to prosper in Warframe! We look forward to seeing names from across our Azure-verse join us, as well as new ones in this adventure!

Status of Azure Hunters Clan in Monster Hunter Wilds
Its been a fun year of hunting monsters together in the Forbidden Lands. Our weekly clan night went on hiatus a few months back as excitement and attendance for Monster Hunter Wilds began to decline.
Several title updates have come out since, and the inevitable expansion (said to be at least as big as Monster Hunter World: Iceborne) was recently confirmed!
Its no doubt that we will eventually see some Azure Hunters Clan activity return again for event nights when the Wilds expansion releases. Until then we will be maintaining the clan, and opening up space for those who're wanting in. This means we will be sticking to an inactivity policy that will remove members who have been offline beyond 6 months when new Hunters within our community want in.
Given that Azure has run clan events going back to MH4GU, we've decided to keep our channels, roles, and clan page around this time, instead of nuking it again after the current big Monster Hunter game hype dies down. Its also inevitable that another will appear again in the future, just like World, Rise, and Wilds did, and given the series' knack for multiplayer, its a given that the Azure Hunters Clan will continue from game to game.

Azure Wardens Inactivity Policy & New Weekly Targeted Activities
Similar to the above inactivity mention, our Azure Wardens Destiny 2 Clan is only a couple members away from the 100 member cap. Members who have not logged into Destiny 2 for 6 months or more will be removed. As we regularly recruit for Destiny 2, we will be more proactive about this policy than the one mentioned above in Monster Hunter Wilds, and will remove the top 10-20 of the most grossly inactive members to make room for Guardians wishing to join the Azure Wardens Clan.
Its been over a month since Azure Warden's new event schedule began and kicked off 2026 with a bang!
To avoid spending copious amounts of time at The Tower, working on builds, seeking Xur and other rewards, we will be more clear about asking our Wardens and Destiny 2 Community Members to please have all inventory, builds, and associated needs finished before attending our Clan & Community Night event.
In addition, prior to the events there will be notice posted in our Destiny 2 chat on Discord of what kind of activities we'll be targeting during events. While planning for a raid night and other fun goals are possible, we're still feeling out our new schedule, helping new players and members joining us, and want to focus on weeklies that everyone can benefit from, the most.
Infinitum Reserve Corps
Infinitum Reserve Corps is our recent project to create a network of CWLS and a miniature FC. This project exists partly for those locked outside of Midgardsormr (inevitably this will happen again soon) and for players planning to join our FFXIV FC on Midgardsormr. It is also for those who're happy within other communities but wish to become an extended member of Azure Infinitum, and also join us in Discord to become a Community Member.
So far not long after its inception, during the final weeks of the most recent server congestion lockdown, we were able to meet a number of new faces who transferred to join us in our home FC on Midgardsormr. This has been wonderful and exactly as intended! There are also folks who may have transferred servers in recent times, and cannot transfer again for 90 days. Our Mini Infinitum Rsv Corps FC exists on Maduin server, and will continue to be our #1 place for future transfers who're locked out, and new players, to join. On Maduin Server in Dynamis, Azure will provide essential FC features to help make the journey more pleasant.

Azure Infinitum 2026 Roadmap
And that's our latest Azure Community Update. Its been wonderful to meet so many new faces over the past couple weeks in FFXIV and across our Wings, especially as our home server, Midgardsormr, has opened up in FFXIV after an 11 month wait due to heavy congestion. We had quite a waiting list building up, and it has been so exciting having many folks with us in our Free Company, some who've been waiting nearly a year to get into our server!
Its an exciting year with many releases ahead, including mega FFXIV news coming this year across fan festivals and a potential expansion launch at the end of the year!
Keep flying high, and always be excellent to each other.
As Free As The Azure Sky!
