discord Get More From Your Boosts With New Server Perks (opens in new tab)
Discord is introducing a fundamental shift in how Server Boosting works, moving away from a strictly linear leveling system to a more flexible, perk-based allocation model. This update allows server owners to spend community-contributed Boosts directly on specific features rather than waiting to hit the next milestone tier. By decoupling high-value perks from the traditional level structure, communities can now customize their server experience with greater precision and immediate results. ### Direct Perk Allocation * Servers can now utilize community Boosts in two distinct ways: contributing toward a global Server Level or bypassing levels to unlock specific features directly. * Perks remain active as long as the server maintains the required number of Boosts allocated to that specific feature. * This system allows servers with "extra" Boosts—those sitting between established Level tiers—to immediately put that value to use rather than waiting for the next level to be reached. ### Enhanced Role Styles * Unlocking this feature requires an allocation of 3 Server Boosts. * It provides administrators with the ability to apply animated, vibrant gradients to specific roles within the server hierarchy. * These styles are designed to add visual flair and help specific community roles or staff members stand out more prominently than standard color options. ### Server Tags * This feature requires a separate allocation of 3 Server Boosts to enable. * Server Tags give members a way to represent their server community across the broader Discord platform, extending the server's identity beyond its own channels. * If a community wishes to utilize both Server Tags and Enhanced Role Styles simultaneously, a total of 6 Boosts must be dedicated to these perks. To maximize the impact of these changes, server administrators should audit their current Boost counts to see if they can immediately activate these visual upgrades without losing current level-based benefits. For servers just short of the requirement, highlighting these specific, tangible rewards can be an effective way to rally the community for additional Boost contributions.
