IRC

[mizuwari]

i posted this on the official forums, but i'll slap it up here too just in case...

My original server runs an IRC channel on irc.gamesurge.net -- after being here for 7 months or so, I figure it's about time I'm able to chat it up with Ysera natives instead of just those dudes who really don't even know me anymore.

On irc.gamesurge.net I've registered #ysera. If you're familiar with IRC you should have no problems hopping right in.

I'm going to steal someone else's wording here, but the information is relevant, so I guess that makes it okay...

For people who have never used IRC before, you'll want to start by picking up a client. For the windows platform, mIRC is simple and easy to use. That's a free download @ http://www.mirc.com. Your first time running mIRC will prompt you for some basic information (name, alias, misc info). Once that's complete use the aforementioned information to find us!

I understand some people may have concerns about security, but there are ways to protect yourself that are provided through gamesurge. Following this guide: http://www.gamesurge.net/newuser/ will allow you to protect your hostmask / IP address to avoid the possibility of being flooded, DoS attacked and so forth.

some might ask... why aren't we using efnet (or any of the other networks)...? easy answer: because i said so. go start your own #ysera.

what's this?

[Lenaman]

troller!

[mizuwari]

not a troll!

IRC is "internet relay chat"

it's like the original instant messenger (or something). you basically have the concept of "channels" that you join (tune into?). you can think of them as chat rooms, i guess. the #ysera channel has only been active for a day so there aren't that many people hanging out yet, but right now we have:

Charnow
Dyalad
Hateorade
Kinu
mizuwari\ysera
Reiska|Class
Sensha
Terlin
Tharivol
Vanamar
[Vd]Arvak

this gives me something to do at work in any case... =P feel free to join.

My IRC client has WoW built into it.

[Doomsayer]

i see, so it's basically a chat room to talk in when you're offline?

like barrens chat to go?

[mizuwari]

yep. that's a pretty good description.

here's an example:

<Terlin> i know the first day sunwell is up on ptr i'll be there like 24/7 >.>
<Vanamar> yawn
<Sensha> Ashtongue is a really quick grind to exalted
<Sensha> I just wish my trinket didn't completely fucking blow
<Charnow> but it's a raiding faction, right?
<Charnow> my violet eye is completely maxed, and I never finished kara
<Vanamar> mmm bored.
<Sensha> Ashtongue is a raiding faction, yes.
<Sensha> It's the rep you gain in Black Temple
<mizuwari\ysera> rogue one is pretty nice
<mizuwari\ysera> every other class has a shitty trinket from what i've gathered.
<Vanamar> yeah
