Being the technolgically challenged chap that I am I have never actually tried to use IRC, Im too scared. So I'd appreaciate it if you pro's could post an idiots guide to everything IRC, then a list of channels which someone of my extremem intellectual capacity could frequent without having to read Adari talknig about spanish people in caps lock.

Thanks.

I'm as equally computer illiterate..
Just go to www.mirc.com then go to downaloads... it's pretty self-explanatory, and even I managed it, although if you encounter any problems, give me a pm.... or catch me on IRC. <giggle!>

Id rather have any problems answered here so that anyone else who is as crap as me can use this to familiarise themselves with IRC.

Will I get flamed by people who wank to their new improved desktop wallpaper/computer case? I'd prefer to make a fool of myself with less people watching to be honest.

Click on the little symbol of a hammer/folder, near the lightning symbol, and go to servers, then select Quakenet: Random UK server then press connect.
Once you're connected a pop up box should appear asking you what chnnael you'd like to join..type in "freddyshouse".

I managed to get into #freddyshouse long enough to see the long list of people, most probably all ready to flame me to hell and back. So I hit Alt+F4 and turned the lights off.

I think its safe now... :eek:

Thanks for the help, I'd just like a list of channels that DAoC people tend to use so that one day I can build up the courage to type something.

/shrug

with invisible mode they cant /who you :p. But ip is still in your hostmask. Hostmask with ident looks like this: ~lycanfrui@user-3743.l2.c1.dsl.pol.co.uk. Where ~lycanfrui is the ident and @user-3743.l2.c1.dsl.pol.co.uk is the hostmask. With command /dns you can resolve that hostmask to a ip.
[15:49_30] * Resolved user-3743.l2.c1.dsl.pol.co.uk to 81.77.174.159.

Only way to protect yourself against that is to connect to a bouncer, proxy or on some servers (including quakenet iirc) you can login in to their bot and get a hostmask something like this: Thomas4.users.netgamers.org

Off course that one is for the irc server netgamers. Quakenet one would prolly have quakenet.org instead of netgamers.org . But amount of hackers on irc isnt that big and if you just keep to daoc channels on quakenet you should probably be fine.

you dont like belsameth or just the people who actually chat there?:p
