Ahh... the joys of group chat... the lag, the failed messages, the inability to ignore without closing the group chat. Let's check out IRC. It's small, sleek, and stable.
Short and sweet (for those familiar with IRC): /server irc.gamesurge.net /join #SLMentors
Need a bit more info about IRC? Read on.
To get started with IRC, mIRC is a good thing to have. This is available at www.mirc.com Later on, after 30 days, it will say, You have gone to far, this version has expired. Register it, ignore it, whatever. However, you can click on Khaled's nose for a surprise!
You can also use Trillian, Pidgin, or GAIM to connect to IRC, as these are popular messenger programs that many will have.
Open IRC. When you do, 2 boxes should pop up. The first one is options. Here you will need to put A nick name, and the info on it. This is required. On the line where you type text, type in a server closest to you. If you do not know a server close to you, just choose random or say /server irc.gamesurge.net This will automatically choose the first server you can connect to, and connect you to GameSurge.
So now you are on the GameSurge network. You will see that you are on no channels. All you need to do is type /join #SLMentors in the text box.
Get Access in channels?
For this you will need to create an account for GameSurge. The link is -> www.gamesurge.net/createaccount/ Please Put your EMAIL Address on the form. This prevents future problems on GS.
Check your email. There should be a line that says something like "/as auth AuthName *****" Except, replaced with your name. So if Ganesha were to make an account, it would say something like "/as auth Ganesha ******"
Copy paste this line, and make sure you get rid of the "". Paste it any where on a text bar (PREFERABLY THE STATUS WINDOW). If it is correct, AuthServ will reply - I recognize you"
If you are a mentor, PM Ganesha and she will add your access.
How do I always auth when I connect to GameSurge?
There is something called perform, he are the steps. Press ALT-O, that should bring up the mIRC Options dialog box. In the Category list, look under the Connect tree, there should be an Options section - click on it. In there, click on the "Perform" button. The perform page will pop up - make sure 'Enable Perform on Connect' is ticked, and put the command into the textbox.
I like IRC, and am already on a different server, how do I be on both?
Say /server -m <serverip> Not including <> For Example /server -m irc.gamesurge.net
If you have any more questions, feel free to IM Ganesha Xi in-game or contact Ganesha on IRC.
