IRC (Internet Relay Chat)

[Ogmuk]

I'll add a link to our IRC channel to put on the home page and the link that will get you there (in case you have an IRC client installed) is: irc://irc.stratics.com/da`kor

Copy and paste it into your browser in case you cannot find the ` on your keyboard.


Here are the links:
1) Direct link to use with a local IRC client - if you have one!
2) Link to connect with web-based app (mibbit) - this one always works!

Try port 6668 incase 6667 is messed up again.

[Ogmuk]

Yes, if it's not working, try: irc://irc.stratics.com/da`kor:6668 instead

[Loning]

if you are using irc might as well idle the Stormrage channel as well

heh loning ftw.

I shoudl log when im not at work sometime.

[Cohiba]

I have to admit with some hesistation that I have no idea what an IRC channel is. I have always heard it mentioned but lack the computer savviness as many of you - so I always let it go over my head. Can anyone explain? I'm assuming it has something to do with Inter-Raid-Channel?? /shrug

[Demetrius]

It's an old old internet chat protocol "Internet Relay Chat".

Ghetto style text-only chat rooms

We use it since many of us get our nerd on at work during the day and it is a good place to chat about the game among other things.

For some reason I can no longer connect using mIRC. If I go through the settings I already had (even changing the port between 6667 and 6668) I get error messages such as "No Route to Host", and "Unable to Connect" and "Connection Refused".

Using the link above, I can reach the server and connect and it recognizes my ident, but it will not let me go to the #da`kor channel - nothing happens.

Any suggestions?

[Ogmuk]

Did you copy and paste it? It should work, I just tested it. The ident could take a while.

irc://irc.stratics.com/da`kor

[Mahlerion]

Ok, it works now. Had to reregister my nick and password.

[Mahlerion]

DAMMIT! It worked yesterday, now it won't work again! GRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Ogmuk]

What are you getting when you copy and paste it now?

Connecting to irc.stratics.com (6668)
-
* Unable to connect to server (No Route to Host)
-
* Connect retry #1 192.148.174.36 (6668)
-
* Unable to connect to server (Connection refused)
-

Get the same thing with port 6667. I even downloaded the latest version of mIRC.

[Mahlerion]

The above was using mIRC directly. When I copy and past to my browser, I get:

* Connecting to irc.stratics.com (6667)
-

-

[Annah]

try the specific servers.
like stratics.afraidyet.net
or stratics.frws.com
or irc.glowfish.de


irc.stratics.net is just a link to whatever server is closest to you, sometimes that doesn't work.

[Mahlerion]

I tried those Annah, and it didn't help. I was able to get through only once, and then when I tried to join #da`kor, nothing happened.

The Stratics network seems to be the only one that gives me problems. I have been able to connect to other networks without problem, yet when I use "Stratics" as the network and "Stratics Random Server", even changing the port between 6667 and 6668, I can't connect. Any ideas?

Today I tried the copy and paste in my browser technique as well as changing each piece of information, and still I could not connect to Stratics.

Bump

Should try and get more people to hang out in irc (internet relay chat). Right now it's a bunch of the old school Da`kor players and some of the WoW players (Synapse, Ayanah, Tryst, Didek, Bralan, Vendrix, Darklight - Oogly and Crazyheal occasionally pop in). It's also somewhere to go when you are waiting for the servers to come back up on Tuesday.

IRC is basically a chat room where some us go during work hours, and when we are not in game to chat it up. You can download IRC here.

Once you load it up, you have to connect to the Stratics server. If it is not listed, you can add a new server by clicking servers on the left frame, then clicking "Add", and typing in the information like this:

then type in /join #Da`kor

Also, the executus irc channel is on the same server so you can also join that channel by typing in /join #executus

[Synapse]

ITS MORE FUN THAN WOW IM SRS. Any questions about logging in/joining channels post here or send me a pm.

[Gynon]

By the way it is /join #Da`kor NOT /join #Da'kor

On most keyboards " ` " is the key directly left of your " 1 " key.

I downloaded IRC and did what you posted but I dont know if im in the right place lol any help?
