I stole this from the bloodrock forums and made some alterations, hopefully they do not mind. I was pmed asknig how to connect to irc and figured I would make a guide.
HOW TO CONNECT TO IRC
1- Where do i get the program?
You can get the latest version of mIRC at one of these address, it lead to the same place.
http://www.mirc.co.uk/
http://www.mirc.com/
Go in the download section and get the latest version from one of the server.
2- Install the program
Simply execute (like double-click) on the file to install the program. Follow each step to the end and default options of installation process are fine to most users.
3 - How to connect to our server.
Start by running the program. At this point you should see a window and a popup window that would look like this:
NOTE: IF THIS POP UP DOES NOT APPEAR, CLICK THE ICON THAT LOOKS LIKE A HAMMER ON TOP OF A FOLDER ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE UNDER "TOOLS" NEXT TO THE LIGHTENING BOLT LOOKING THING
Fill in the fields.
Then click on Servers on the left hand side.
4-
Here is the Servers layout.
Click on "ADD"
A new popup window should appear (you will have to fill the informations):
Then press OK
5-
Now using the drop down menu find the server name and press Connect to server
6-
In a couple seconds you will be connected to the server.
However, you are not technically in a room yet.
In the text field (only small field where you are able to type in test)
Type in (Without quotations) "/join #secondage" and press enter.
