Noble Realms

OK, everyone. EFnet, #noblerealms.

I'm using irc.dkom.at by the way.

Alright, so an NR IRC chat was done once before. Here is a new attempt. I tried it last night and works fine. For anyone interested, here are step-by-step instructions for Windows and Os X users:

Windows - via Firefox

Download and install ChatZilla

Restart Firefox, then in the URL bar type:   irc://irc.dkom.at/noblerealms
(or irc.blessed.net, irc.efnet.net instead of irc.dkom.at)

Then click on the button that says "Administrator" and choose "Change Nickname" and enter something.

You will then be sent into the chat.

Right click on the lower left tab that says "#noblerealms" and choose "open this channel at startup"

Then next time, signing into the chat is as easy as going to Tools -> Chatzilla  in your Firefox menu. It will send you straight to the NR chat room.

Windows - standalone program

Download and install X-Chat 2

In the Server List window, enter a nickname, user name, and real name

The click "ADD" and type something like "NR"

Then click Edit and change the default to irc.dkom.at/6667
(or irc.blessed.net, irc.efnet.net instead of irc.dkom.at)

Check "connect to selected server only"

Under "Channels to join"  type  #noblerealms

Then close, and connect  to join the NR chat room

Next time, load up the program, make sure NR is selected, and click Connect...

Os X

Download and install Colloquy

In the connections window, type your nickname and if needed, same for real name and user name

Then for server type:  irc.dkom.at
(or irc.blessed.net, irc.efnet.net instead of irc.dkom.at)

Check "remember connection"

Click connect

Then click Join Room and type: noblerealms

To do this automatically next time you load the app, select the server in the list, click on info -> automate -> + -> noblerealms, and check "Connect on Launch".

10PM-2AM Eastern US time has best chance for seeing others on. I'll be in there periodically.

The Chatroom rocks!

This is what you've missed. There are 80k people in that IRC network, I bet one of'em's called Marcus. ;D

Try irc.dks.ca  port 6667

thanx Pictus - but it still doesn't work - i just get another error message hopefully one of these days i'll get this thing figured out

i'm using OS X Tiger and experiencing troubles connecting (same error message i mentioned previously) ...

Colloquy states a couple of know issues:

“¢ Can't join channels that require a key with the GUI. A workaround is to use this command "/join #room password" for the room.
“¢ SOCKS and HTTP proxies don't function still.

i wonder if these apply at all for the noblerealms chat forum ??? - (sorry but i'm sometimes technologically ignorant)
