IRC Programs
To connect to our server and play the game, you will require a program or "client" that uses the Internet Relay Chat protocol. Luckily, these programs are not difficult to find or to set up. Using Goggle to search for 'IRC client' will return a multitude of choices. The most common and simplest choice is mIRC, and is available as shareware. Another popular choice is mibbit, a java IRC client, that does not require any downloads.
Many Smartphones now offer IRC clients, check out your app menu for more details. But be careful, if you play over Smartphone you may be slower than other people on proper clients, so think about that before you enter in character.
