Welcome to the Minstrel's Grove IRC Chat.  This is your portal to Minstrel's Grove.  Please read the other pages of this website before entering.  When you enter the room you may notice a chatter named @Security.  This is a security bot and will not respond to you in any way, simply ignore its presence.  The rest of this page will give you some important information and tips about using IRC.  It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with this information before entering the chat room so that you do not have to interrupt the RP with questions.  If you do have questions, we ask that you use the private message function to ask them

This room may also be accessed through software such as mIRC at
irc.ircstorm.net, port 6667.  Using mIRC is highly recommended and is available for free at www.mirc.com


Thank you, and happy RPing.
This application requires Java suport.
This server also available via IRC at:

Helpful Tips

Register (password protect) your screen name:
/msg nickserv register yourpassword yourEmail
(This is not required, but it prevents others from using your chosen screen name)

Login with registered screen name:
/msg nickserv identify yourpassword
(You must do this within 60 seconds of entering the room with a registered nick or @Security will kick you out.)

Link extra screen names to your registered name:
Enter with an unregistered name and type
/msg nickserv group Your_Registered_Name yourpassword
(This registers your new name with the same password and links it to the original.  This allows you to switch between the linked names without having to reenter your password each time)

Float the chat room:
Click on the "Float" button to detach the chat room from the page.  You can then maximize and/or minimize the room while using the same browser to surf the net.  DO NOT close the original browser or you will leave chat.

Gather Some Friends:
Most of the time, if you just pop into the IRC room at random, you will find it empty.  One of the benefits of IRC is the lack of random chatters that can disrupt the RP session.  I recommend gathering a few of your fellow RPers together and then all head into the IRC room.  You will be able to RP, unhindered, for as long as you like.

More tips to come as they occur to me . . .
