IRC Question

Ummm... I have several questions about the IRC.

1. First, is it free? I don't have a Paypal nor credit card and was just wondering.

2. And are we required to get it?

3. Do you have to get it to compete like in XWA and JA/ JO?

Sorry for these quetions. Hope they're not annoying. I looked in the guides, but they didn't say anything, so I came here... Thanks for any info. :)

1. Yes, it's free. If you download mIRC (www.mirc.com) it will ask you to register after 30 days, but you don't have to and it works fine.

2. No, it isn't required although it is a great way to communicate with your Clan as well as the rest of the DB

3. You do need it to compete in MP competitions, yes, since that is where you meet others for the games. It is a must for the gaming nights, although for certain sanctioned ladders I'm sufre you can arrange other methods, but in all honesty, IRC is the best and most conveniant way

I have trouble getting on mIRC, too. I just wait it out and get on when I can.

where do u live ark? if u live in the US go to files in the left hand corner and go to recent servers, then click random US servers, that way you get the best possible connection. the same if you live in Europe, just select random EU serrver.

Ok, cool. Thanks.

Zhilvinas, maybe you should try Mozilla Firefox? It didn't work for me on Explorer so I swapped to Firefox. Just a suggestion.

the web page might be down for a while, zhil. have you tried just letting mIRC attempt numerously different connections? i had the same problem once and sometimes u just need to let IRC find whatever it can connect to

Some of the members of Plagueis who use the webchat feature on undernet.org have not been able to connect to it for some time. I myself have not tried it as I downloaded IRC, but those who can't may be having troubles with the site. As far as I know, it has been going on for at least a week.

I think I'll make a nice little IRC package for the DB members. Though I'll have to run it past Khaled first.

The only thing I can think of is that Undernet itself is being stupid. It's been having numerous amounts of netsplits this past month, and it could be that the webchat can't connect to/find a server because of that.

(FYI: A Netsplit is when the servers become out of synch.)
