The server is irc.deathwyrm.net on port 6667

Then you join room #lusternia

Unfortunately I can't comment on how each individual IRC client will do that, as I'm just using Pidgin. Though if you have questions on using Pidgin for IRC, ask away.

Also, do join the IRC, it's great fun! I joined recently and have had enjoyable conversations with the enemy and other people I don't otherwise get to interact with OOCly. And I haven't seen any silly drama pop up (yet), which is quite nice.

I try using that, irc.deathwyrm.net redirects to a server named bahumet.deathwyrm.net, which times out when I try to connect to it.

I've no idea why it's doing that. What client are you using?

Kagato

XChat for Ubuntu

EDIT: Worked with my most recent try, looks like the server was simply down at the time.

Xentri

@Kagato it's up!

ETA: That said, Morkarion and I keep some of the weirdest GMT hours you'll meet, so...who knows. Maybe bad luck! Come try again

I should note Taci's actually being responsible these days, whereas I'm not. I think I now live on an American TZ...

Maellio

So, is the IRC down or? As since yesterday any connection attempts keep timing out.

Xenthos

I'm on it, so are six others.  Hm.

Maellio

And this is between trying three clients on two machines, all the same timeout.

Xenthos

Which address are you connecting to?

Xenthos

It's possible that irc.deathwyrm.net is not resolving correctly, so you could try bahumet.deathwyrm.net in the meantime.

Maellio

Tried both, still timing out

Tacita

Just to remind you all that this still exists, and still has a core group of us popping in every day. Would be lovely to see some fresh faces, or old people who've forgotten about it back

Stefan

Trying to maneuver my way around Mibbit to get in on this, can't tell if there's no one there or if I'm doing it wrong...

Tacita

Well we've got people there right now, so if you can't see us something is going wrong

Arcanis

aha it worked!


Okay to those Mibbit users like myself, first go to home and at the Conner tab, click the Server button, this will make the server tab appear.
In that type: bahumet.deathwyrm.net
In the Channel tab, type: #Lusternia

And  that should do it

Kagato

Just bumping this to remind everyone of its existence, could definitely use some more people visiting

Naime

Is this still used?

Xenthos

Just checked the channel; it looks pretty empty.

Naime

So did I, I just thought I may have connected wrong

Haezon

The only channels i see on the deathwyrm network are riftsrpg and zash. Is it on a different server?

Munsia

Afaik the IRC was a toxic environment when it was an active thing. 

Xenthos

It went through numerous iterations and groups of players; the time you're thinking about was probably the time when Hajamin and Visaeris were there all the time (that also happens to be when it was used by the largest portion of the playerbase).  That was really before things like Skype though, and other methods of communicating with people.

It's had a few resurgences since then where it was less like that / a more friendly environment, but it never had quite the same population and never lasted more than a couple of weeks.

PS: Yes, that is the right server.

Karlach

It had a good run last summer when Tacita and I were living on US timezones, there was a small group of regulars and the odd drop-in. But as Xenthos said, the accessibility and easy use of Skype made it rather irrelevant.
