Some IRC clients for you to choose from:

mIRC - for some reason still the most popular one. Shareware.
X-Chat 2 - the one I use. Free.
Ice Chat - the Chat cool people use. Free.
Miranda IM - Miranda has IRC too. Free.

another free (open source) client : HydraIRC

Most programs like Gaim and Trillian that allow you to enter MSN, YIM, AIM, ICQ etc support IRC as well.

Connect to the Quakenet server of your choice, and enter #abandonia

For information on Quakenet, go to Quakenet.org.

iCezolation Weeeeeeeeeeooooooow! Got that channel in perform now - so join, people! It really ain't that hard to do. I would make an mIRC-tutorial if you want

Timpsi Ok, #abandonia now has a genuine bot keeping the channel reserved. I would gladly see more people entering the channel, but perhaps that's just a matter of time.

Sorry the double-post, wanted to bump the thread a bit.

ummm yea I suck at mirc.... how do I join this channel? Cause its easier to char with people then try and get everyones msn names... or should I do that instead?
Just get on any of the Quakenet servers, and once logged on, type "/join #abandonia"

Also, there are freeware alternatives to mIRC. One I would like recommend is X-Chat 2.

In my opinion the warez problem isn't a real one. The channel can be moderated by Admin-appointed operators, and DCC exists even without an official channel, as people can agree to share their stuff over PM. Fserves and such like would of course be banned from the channel.

The advantages of an IRC channel are obvious:

- people get to know each other better.
- the discussion is instant, unlike on the slow-paced forum. Helps making decisions.
- the instant discussion makes it easier to give step-by-step instructions to those in need (technical help, for instance).
- the one-liner chats can be done on the channel instead of the forum.
- you don't always add everyone to your MSN list. On IRC the talk is public, and thus you get to converse with people you otherwise wouldn't.
- it is accessible to all platforms, and doesn't require registration.

That's just a few that popped into my mind.
