Adding realm exclusive discussion channels on Discord would reduce off-topic discussions in the ingame [Advice] and [Trade] channels, while at the same time keeping some unnecessary stuff out of the Discord [game-advice] and [support] channels.
Currently players have no way to let off steam through discussions except the forums - but these lack the instant responses one is used to in modern online environments. These channels could provide that outlet.
If you think adding 3 more channels to the server would lead to channel bloat, consider Discord roles so a Midgard player can only see the Midgard chat. Adding a bot players can message so they get assigned their role would keep staff involvement minimal.
Make it clear that only suggestions or critique in the forums will be read by Devs by stating it in the channel description.
This could possibly make the suggestion forums a little cleaner, too, as players are given a way to discuss before posting. This increases readability for the Devs.
