Internet Relay Chat, also known as IRC, allows real-time communications over the internet between multiple people. Many-to-many discussions are held in forums known as "channels"; private messages also allow one-to-one communication. Flyff has an official IRC channel at irc.swiftirc.net on the channel #Flyff, frequented by Xagel.

Warning

Only Xagel is known to enter to Flyff IRC channel. All other users should be considered as players.

Rules and Guidelines

  1. Do not ask Xagel for stuff (except help). Doing so will result in being kicked from the channel.
  2. GM impersonation will NOT be tolerated under any circumstances.
  3. Please use English when possible.

Clients

In order to communicate across IRC, an IRC client is required. A variety of possibilities on Windows are available:

  1. mIRC
  2. Chatzilla (a Firefox add-on)
  3. X-chat

Connecting

After installing the client, follow these instructions in order to connect to the Flyff IRC channel:

  1. Start up the client.
  2. Locate the text field into which you type. This can be used to send messages and commands.
  3. Type (without quotes) "/server irc.swiftirc.net" to connect to the server.
  4. Type "/join #Flyff" to enter the Flyff channel.
  5. Chat away!
  • Note that the server may ask you to "identify" for your nickname. More information can be obtained by typing "/hs help" and "/ns help".

Explanation

IRC channel users are ranked into three levels of access: op, voice and normal.

  • An op has administrative powers over the channel, with the ability to alter channel flags, alter the access of other users (including other ops) as well as kicking and banning other users.
  • A voiced user has the same access as a normal user, with the exception of still being able to chat when the channel has been muted (+m flag).
  • A regular user can send and receive messages to the channel and other users.

IRC clients come with documentation that can explain IRC in more details.
