We've setup a small and cozy chat channel for all members and friends of the order. There's also a fireplace and a Dragon Dragoness looking after it.
Sounds good? Well here's how it works:
Click on the 'Chat' link at the top - as simple as it sounds :)
This will open an IRC chat client written in Java. You can leave this window open while you play or work :)
All you need is a browser and the Java plugin which can be obtained here: http://www.java.com/.
If you don't feel like installing a browser plugin or prefer a standalone application here are some alternative options:
Application | License | Notes | Download |
---|---|---|---|
ChatZilla | free | Firefox Browser Addon | https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/16/ |
mIRC | 30 days trial | Probably most popular client | http://www.mirc.com/ |
Klient | 30 days trial | professional client | http://www.klient.com/ |
List of (almost all) IRC Clients: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IRC_clients
The server that hosts the #oor channel enforces nickname registration by renaming you to guest after some time.
Registering yourself (you only need to do this one time) /nick desired_username /msg nickserv register PASSWORD EMAIL Identify yourself! This step needs to be repeated after each and every login. It can be automated but the actual steps to achieve this depend a lot on the IRC client you use) /nick desired_username /msg identify PASSWORD
/join OR /j : joins a channel Example: /join #oor /part OR /p : leaves the current channel Example: /part /nick : changes your nickname Example: /nick Beholder /msg : sends a private message to someone Example: /msg username Hello! the client guesses the 'username' by pressing the first few characters of a nickname, followed by the Tab key.
Simply type them into the Input field at your IRC client of choice.
