Most GNU/Linux distribution users can replace 1-4 by something like one of the following:

pacman -S irssi
apt-get install irssi
emerge irssi

:-P

or, simply "telnet irc.freenode.net 6667". works on pretty much every system, too, be it *nix, windows, or whatever. only recommended for the truly hardcore netizen tho.

Also, it might be a good idea to add this url:

irc://irc.freenode.net/themanaworld/

To the top post.

Firefox also comes with a nice IRC client and it's free. =]

Just a heads up if you get the same error as I when you try to log on the main channel.
Apparently I had #manaworld as the main channel and today I entered and it was empty.There probably was a redirect to the newer channel #themanaworld and it died.So if the channel is empty check that you are in the right channel.

All users:
1. Download Opera at: http://www.opera.com
2. Install it.
3. Open it.
4. Write in the addres bar: irc://irc.freenode.net/themanaworld

Voila, you are on IRC.

Regards.

Any updated suggestions for windows users wanting IRC?

The suggestions by ElvenProgrammer, Matt and Platyna should all work for you.

I'm on windows and use's Opera for IRC. Work's like a charm.

Thanks guys. I'll get set up soon and then start asking what map prototypes the group would like to see.

I am now using Opera in windows. Is there some way to "select" a username in these chat rooms that will automatically address the message to them?
