In light of the coming retail release of DarkSpace, a brand new IRC channel is in place for all DarkSpace users, as well as curious players-to-be, to join in on and have a good time. We will be using this channel to serve as an extension of our GameCQ chat client, and it should be a very similar environment except a little more laid back since we are not directly in the DarkSpace client and environment. Interested?
mIRC (Internet Relay Chat) is an extremely popular and free (for 30 days) chat client with thousands of chat servers spread across the world with equal thousands of channels (rooms) within each. For those interested in getting in to DarkSpace IRC and mIRC, go to mirc.com and download the latest mIRC client. It's totally cost- and bug-free. However, mIRC is a shareware clientand has a trial period. If you would like a freeware client, check out bersirc.com.
If you're interested in joining the channel itself, use the following information to guide you:
- In the mIRC/bersIRC Connect Dialog (if you don't see it, goto File > Options > Connect), click the uppermost drop-down box and click on Gamesnet, then select random east/west server from the next dropbox down, depending on where you are.
- Enter a full name and an email (not necessary to have true information) then fill in a nickname (aka username) and an alternative username in case the first is taken. Now connect to IRC.
- In the main IRC window, after you see all the connecting information scroll by, type in /join #darkspace. You can be in more than one room at once.
- See IRC and Gamesnet help (there is a link in the server connecting information mentioned above) for more detailed IRC commands such as nick registering.
The DarkSpace Staff encourages all players and all those interested in learning about DarkSpace to come join us in our new channel! We look forward to seeing you there.
