What is IRC?

IRC, short for Internet Relay Chat, offers a world-wide multi-user chat network, where people meet to talk in groups, or privately. The best place to start for information on IRC is at the mIRC homepage here.

What do i need to do to chat on IRC?

Download and Install the Program

Follow the simple instructions when you run the install process and when you get to the end, select 'Launch mIRC' and press 'Finish'

Connect and Set up your Account
You do not need to put in your actual name or e-mail address. Just type something random here or you can put your real information in.

You need to choose a 'Nickname'. You should use your Great Jedi War username here.

Next, on the left side panel, their will be the 'Connect' expandable option, select 'Servers' in their.

From the drop down list called 'IRC Network' choose 'Undernet.' You may need to scroll a long way. It’s near the bottom.

Then, from 'IRC Server,' Choose 'Undernet: Random EU server' from the dropbox if you are in Europe, or choose 'Undernet: Random US server' if you are in the United States. Once you have made your selections, click the 'Connect To Server' button. Now, the window you were just at disappears and you see the main IRC status window.

Join the Channel
The mIRC favourites box will then open automatically, all you need to do is type the channel name in the 'Enter a channel name and click join:'
