Introduction

The official IRC channels are on irc.rizon.net port:6667.

  • #wurm - For general chat

Connect Now (IRC)
IRC Web client

Note: You are welcome to come to the IRC channel for help but as to solve many problems we need to see the full crash log it is recommended you use the wurm forums instead. Also, do not expect an immediate response in the IRC channel, unless people are actively conversing it will likely take several minutes to get a response. Finally, although game masters are sometimes present in the IRC channel, it is not intended to function as a game assistance channel.

Ingame IRC

To use IRC from within the client, simply open up the console window by pressing F1 and type in irc. This will spawn a new set of tabs in the chat window that are connected to the Rizon network, and it auto joins the official #wurm channel.

IRC Clients

The Wurm client also includes basic IRC support (as of version 2.1.10). (see Setting up IRC in the client)

Useful IRC Commands

How to Register your IRC Nickname

In IRC, not in an actual channel, enter the following /msg nickserv REGISTER password email@email.com

How to identify yourself

In IRC, not in an actual channel, enter /msg NickServ IDENTIFY password

Or just enter the password in your IRC client.

How to close a former session

When your client crahes, your previous session may remain open, preventing you from accessing that nick. You can close the session manually though.

In IRC, not in an actual channel, enter /msg nickserv GHOST name password

How to reclaim your name

Nickserv doesn't reserve names, so someone might be using you registered name and you may want to reclaim it.

In IRC, not in an actual channel, enter /msg nickserv RECOVER name passwordfollowed by /msg nickserv RELEASE name password


Note: The Ghost and Release commands may not be necessary as they time out automatically.
