IRC?

I think a lot of people do not know what IRC is or how it's used. Might need an install and usage tutorial.

You're probably right. And as an example, I use IceChat. Someone who doesn't use or isn't familiar with IRC would open the client and see a total mess and lists of things to click, when all they really want to do is simply enter a chatroom, which should be simple. Maybe instead of IRC we can get a webchat going of some sort (even if it's IRC, don't call it that, just call it Chat!)

Just had a lightbulb idea: make it look like the chatrooms inside the EQ client! Classic!

The problem with IRC is that it only has a draw if there are people there. And you have to go about building a whole new community. I STRONGLY recommend plug.dj/project1999 We are currently growing, its got a nice catch in the music department, is way more dynamic than IRC, and has chat, and doesn't need 3rd party installs. I have leveled from 1-25 with people I met there... Come share some jams.

all they play in plug.dj/project1999 is gimmick shit, no real music at all.

Ditto. It's an interesting way to meet fellow p99ers whose paths you would have never crossed otherwise.

The music is all over the place, but so is the p99 player base (literally and figuratively)! I realize switching from Pantera to Mozart to Hootie & the Blowfish isn't everybody's idea of a good time, but if you really don't like something, turn it down and enjoy a few minutes of John Cage's masterpiece 4'33"!

If you absolutely HATE the music, mute it and stay for the chat! You can pretend it's IRC! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That is awesome. I was wondering if anyone actually met in the plug room before meeting up in-game...

Plug actually has a pretty sizable user base, especially internationally. I wonder if p99 will actually gain any new players that find out about the project by simply organically using plug?

I do love and appreciate Plug.DJ. I used it with my guild in another game as a way to hang out and do stuff other than just play the game. It's pretty awesome. If it's more active than IRC then I might have to start hanging out there. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Personally I'm not interested in listening to a bunch of random music (no offense to people's tastes) and would feel kind of weird about joining that chat room when it's centered around a thing I'm not participating in.

Well whoever is serious about helping build our IRC chatroom PM me please.

[Kreylyn]

www.p99lfg.com is an option.

The more people that use it, the better it will work.

Spread the word in game. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Twitch connects you to irc.twitch.tv:6667 #sirkenp99

I am sorry to break the news to you Sirken. I am still rocking old mirc with nonamescript, it just screams counter-strike scrims.
