IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is what PXO used for its chat interface before it died. #descent3 is descents new Chat channel on gamesurgeâ??s network. Gamesurge is a irc network built by gamers for gamers. This tutorial will be here to help you set up an IRC client if you have never used one before. (tutorial will only cover mIRC)
If you have IRC installed you can Join the channel by clicking the link. [url=irc://irc.gamesurge.net/descent3]Click here[/url], or adding #descent3 in your perform list under gamesurge. If you donâ??t have an IRC client installed, here is a list of popular chat clients
mIRC
HydraIRC
Xchat
Trillian
All of these chat clients are nice and easy to use, xchat and mirc are probably the easiest to use.
If you are going to use mIRC you may want to think about using a wrapper. Wrappers add allot of usability, and function to your chat client. It also spruces up the plain Jane look that mIRC has.
Invision Only use with mIRC 6.14 and below, This wrapper is usefull, but sometime buggy
PowerPack 7.0 Is probably the most popular gaming wrapper with allot of added support for gamers
xTreme is a smaller wrapper that is a nice little program.
