Official Anarchy Online IRC server opened

We are pleased to announce that the Official Anarchy Online IRC server is up and running. During the weekend we have had amazing traffic on irc.funcom.com. We therefore recommend that you register yourself as soon as possible to get your favorite nickname.

Besides the main channel #AnarchyOnline, a whole myriad of others are available. Whether it's about a city, specific professions, organizations, clans, community sites or something completely different, you will find that irc.funcom.com is a great place for exchanging information, receiving hints and tips, writing general gossip, discussing strategies and much more. After all, this place is made for you, the player.

In addition, this IRC room will have the occasional CR or Dev member dropping in to converse. More additions are in the pipeline as well, so we recommend that you check it out at regular intervals.

A visit to www.mirc.com or www.mirc.co.uk will most likely answer any question you may have regarding IRC if you haven't tested it before. You can also download the client from these addresses, so if you are new to the IRC experience a visit is highly recommended.

ENJOY!

YES !

And the chat client is still an awesome feature for me. :D

splendid idea

L33t. :D

But the server adds your full hostname to your nick. :( This is a major security risk. I know, it conforms with the spirit of free chat on IRC but I don't like getting DoS'ed all too much. And I am sure others agree with me here.

Try this link, this daemon supports hiding the first, essential part of your host name as an optional user mode to prevent hackers from attacking you. I know, you won't use it, but at least check it out, read the docs. ;)
