Internet Relay Chat (IRC)

For those of you who know what IRC is and would like to join in the fun, Layonara has it's very own dedicated IRC server. For those of you that have no idea what IRC is you are most certainly welcome to join in as well. This server is by no means interconnected with any other IRC server or network. This is our own little private island folks.

You can connect to the server with X-Chat (Free Windows Version), mIRC, Gaim or any other IRC capable client out there (and trust me when I say there's a zillion and one of these things but the ones mentioned here are the most notable). As well there is a free web based client for everyone to use though it is very limited and has problems with Internet Explorer however it works just fine with any Mozilla based browser like FireFox or Netscape. Work on the Internet Explorer side of this web based client is still underway and any progress will be made public on this thread. It does work, just not very reliably.

You can find the web based IRC client here or you can get all these same details by going to http://irc.layonara.com. Also, if you can try Mibbit if you're having trouble with port access.

The connection details for the stand-alone clients are as follows:

Server: irc.layonara.com
Port: 6667
Channel: #nwn

Please be aware that the same rules of in-game chatting apply to the IRC server as well, in particular the following are not tolerated and may get you permenantly banned from the IRC server:

• 1337 sp34k
• Swearing or cursing
• Griefing
• Stealing someone's nickname
• Any form of harassment

You are however allowed to camp all you like in #nwn. Other channels may be started upon request with sufficient approval.
