IRC Chat

[edit] How to join an OHR related chat channel on IRC

Download an IRC client.
Windows: Bersirc, mIRC, Visual IRC
Mac OS/X: Colloquy, IRCle, Linkinus
Cross Platform: ChatZilla, KVirc, Pidgin, XChat
Alternatively you can use the Java IRC Client provided by Castle Paradox
Install, and run your IRC client. I suggest at this point, that you stop and sing your favorite Elvis tunes. It isn’t actually necessary to do this, but it never hurts to impersonate the King.
Connect to the EsperNet network at irc.esper.net (connects to a random EsperNet server). You will probably have to change your client's options, or just type type "/server irc.esper.net" every time.
Then join some of the following channels:
- #CastleParadox is the official channel of Castle Paradox. This channel is mostly general chit-chat with many OHR users
- #HamsterSpeak is a general programming discussion and help channel. You can also stop by to get help with plotscripting if certain people are available.
- #OHRDev is the channel of OHRdev
- #ParadoxLounge is even more general chit-chat, usually with a clique or social group that hangs out in there.
- #OHRRPGCE used to be the old semi-official IRC channel, however it's attendance has been down over the years and is mostly a hangout for the "olbies". Legend has it that at one time, OHRRPGCE topics were discussed here.

Chat. Have fun. And when you are done, stop. Sound easy enough? Please observe proper net-etiquette. Respect the Ops and the other users.
