IRC, or mibbit, is the quickest and easiest way to chat with friends and family. IRC is Internet Relay Chat. A server program that allows for clients to connect. Mibbit is one of hundreds of web based IRC clients used to access the IRC server. There are also downloadable clients such as IceChat, mIRC, XChat, programs for phone access to IRC, it's a pretty big list. Find one that you like, and then download it.

Connecting to various IRC clients

  • Mibbit - Once you have clicked on the mibbit tab, simply type in your nick and password and press the connect button. You will automatically join your family chat room, plus the game-wide chat room, #DivineLunacy.
  • XChat - As XChat is an opensource IRC client it can be found in many different "flavours". This is a simple "How to Connect to IRC" guide.

The suggested locations for downloads are: Official Release (Pay for Windows use) http://xchat.org

Unofficial Release (Totally free for Windows and reliable) http://silverex.org/download/

After installing the software you can add the Jaundies network to the list of provided servers by opening the "Network List" window under the "XChat" menu and following the steps listed below:

1) Enter your information. This information will become your ident, Nickname, and real name people can see when looking at your information (whois) on IRC and when you join a channel so keep it clean.

2) Click the "Add" button.

3) Type in "Jaundies" then press Enter.

4) Select "Jaundies" then click "Edit".

5) Double click "newserver/6667" and enter irc.jaundies.com/6667

6) You can add your "favorite" channels in this window as well. Use the following format: "#channel1,#channel2,#channel3"

7) You may also set up your auto-identify here, just enter the password you used when you registered your name on Jaundies with nickserv. If you haven't done so already, then do so as soon as possible using the following command when connected to Jaundies (Make sure you are using the nickname you wish to register.):

/ns register yourpasswordhere yourvalid@email.here

8)XChat has software help provided within the client. Please use that for any other features you may be interested in.


  • Icechat - (Same as above)

Registering your nick

In order to make a nick your own, so that only you can use it, you will need to register said nickname. It is rather simple to do so, simply type /ns register password email

For example: /ns register Gokuistheshit Email@whiteylikesboys.com

Choose a password you will remember and that is at least five characters long, and just use the email address you used to create your game account.
