IRC Room for D2 players

Post by Jewbilee »

I made this poll to see if people would be interested in making a Kahn sort of thing with mIRC. What we need is a constant group of people that are on mIRC in a channel where people can ask, "d2 anyone?" and get games started using the tracker provided in D2X-W32. Just post in the poll if this is a good idea and if someone already has something like this, just say so. Depending on how the poll goes, Ill make the channel

Oh, and IRC != mIRC, there are other, most of them better, IRC clients than mIRC ;)

You can use Vortex (available e.g. on www.descentforum.de) as an alternative IRC client exclusively connecting you to Descent chats and offering some nice and comfortable Descent 3 game view and launch facilities.

I kind of figured it was a kind of chat/game browser thingy I was just making the obvious Star Trek 2 reference ;)

A lot of people do. It irks me that it's become synonomous with IRC because mIRC is so unbelievably bad it's not funny.

Most people use the Descent server on Kali for such a purpose.

WHEN it's up, of course.

irc.blackened.com (old school EFNet):

#300baud
#descent

irc.gamesurge.net:

#descent3

Those are just the places I know off the top of my head, there are probably more places on some irc network where descent players hang out.

->Descnet<- on Kali has always been where I've gone to play D2 online.
