Hello all you Lunia adventurers!
I'm here to welcome you all to the Lunia chat channel which locates in the irc network.

For those who are already familiar with IRC:
Server: irc.quakenet.org
Port: 6667-6669
Channel: #Lunia

What's irc?
"Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of real-time Internet chat or synchronous conferencing. It is mainly designed for group (many-to-many) communication in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication via private message and data transfers via Direct Client-to-Client."

Where to get the irc client?
The most basic client is available at www.mirc.com
You may also use a web-client: http://irc.netsplit.de/webchat/?net=QuakeNet

Welcome to talk about Lunia or just about anything!

o is irc hard to learn?

T_T i never use it before and what does it do? like can u play games and stuff on IRC?

Gota · 03-21-2008

irc is just a bunch of chatrooms, really confusing for new people, since it looks complicate. But is really simple once you know how things are done. People use it to host and dl anime/manga/music usually. Some have mini games on it with bots, like hangman and such.

gamerdude · 03-21-2008

o ic ic kk cool. does lots of ppl from mylunia use this?

maybe i can try this sometime, but i dunno i dun wanna mess this computer up

Gota · 03-22-2008

I don't know if many ML use it since i haven't got on myself. But you wont mess up your computer xD you just have to dl irc, then connect to the server and then join the ML chat room on that server.

m1s3ri · 03-28-2008

bump for great justice.

Channel's like... almost empty. Fix it kthx.

ladamolf · 03-31-2008

Yes. The channel is a bit too empty. I see at least 50 people online in the forums, so why is there no more than 10 people in the chat?

Maybe the instructions aren't beginner friendly? In that case...

The Gullible Person's Simple Guide to Using IRC (mainly Chatzilla)
First, you need an IRC client. mIRC is one of the biggest, though I have no experience in using it.
Personally, I use Chatzilla. It's a free extension to Firefox that's simple and effective.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16
If you don't have Firefox, then get it. It does everything IE can do, better.

Now that you have Chatzilla, Go to Tools>Chatzilla. The main window opens. Some important things about it; sorry about the bad Paint quality.

After uploading that I suddenly realize there's 6 people, not 5.

In any case, click the button labeled Chatzilla, in that menu, click Preferences.

In the top left, make sure Global Settings is highlighted. Then, click the startup tab.
Scroll down to the bottom, where it says Auto-connect URLs. Click Add, then type
irc://irc.quakenet.org/#Lunia
Apply, Ok. Close Chatzilla.

Reopen Chatzilla from the Tools tab. It should automatically connect. If you followed these instructions, it WILL work.
No need to ask "Hello?" to test if we can see you. (One of my pet peeves. If there's nothing highlighted in red, it worked.)
