IRC - Internet Relay Chat

p0x · Nov 6th 2012

Does anyone else here use IRC as their main way to communicate with others?

I mostly stick to smaller servers ran by people in the gaming communities I have been apart of, I find its a way to keep in contact, as you know how often someone might be online, also if anyone is around they could help new player solve problems they may have, instead of waiting for someone to reply on the forum.

I read an older forum topic about a channel on QuakeNet, but I think this was likely discontinued due to lack of support. (I think its still listed in the FAQ)

forum chat or msn, icq or mail. Some are even using teamspeak.
Thats more than enough to communicate imo. And well we have the in game chat too

IRC would be interesting/usseful if we could combine in-game chat from the server with a forum server one (so we could atually chat from here, more attention to both sides, etc), same as on Minecraft servers, but since Freelancer is not Java based, it won't work out.

even a client worked into the portal would work for most.

It would just be nice to chat with other players when not playing.. But of course with IRC you get other problems. So maybe it's just for the few

For chatting on here you get that in-browser chat from down on the right corner, like on Facebook... and the SWAT Portal chatroom.

If it's about voice chatting, IRC can't handle that, you need TS, that's also on here. And works for anyone no matter in-game or on the forum
