IRC

From OSWIKI

IRC is the shorthand name of Internet Relay Chat, and is where we play the game.

You can get various clients on your operating system to use it, or if you're a player and temporarily blocked from accessing a full client, you can use the PJIRC (clicking will automatically load the client!) extension we have on the wiki. The links below go to either the client website with a download link or directly to the download.
