Internet Relay Chat
Contents
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.
Note: You can configure your client to automatically connect to IRC by editing your autorun.txt file in your wurm client folder. (The location of this file can be changed in the wurm client to be character specific.)
Example:
- [code]irc[/code]
- [code]ircsay /msg NickServ IDENTIFY yourircpasswordhere[/code] (Skip this line if you haven't registered with IRC)
- [code]ircsay /join #yourchannel[/code]

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 name 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.
