How to Install and configure IRC


Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of instant communication over the Internet. It is mainly designed for group (many-to-many) communication in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication. Inotherwords, IRC is a CHATROOM.

Step 2.

Click on that star/flash looking button which will bring you to the "Servers category".


Step 3.

For "IRC Network", scroll and select "GameSurge"
For "IRC Server", select "GameSurge: Random US server" (or Random EU server if you not from north america)


Step 4.

You can now connect by pressing the large, central "Connect To Server" button, or by pressing the "yellow lightning-bolt-thingo" button on the top left toolbar.


Step 5.

This popup, the mIRC Channels Folder, will appear by default on connection to an IRC server. Basically, ignore everyone of those channels.
Click the "Add" button on the right and fill in the details as shown below (also checkmark "Join on connect").

You can type one of the following: #tRukLan , #TRUKLAN , #TrUkLaN , #truklan

Hit "OK", then select #tRukLan from the left menu and hit "Join" and you're all set. The next time you connect, you will auto-join our channel.
