Phantasy Star Zero IRC channel

[parabolee]

The IRC channel seems to be the closest alternative to the PSO lobby system. If you want to organize a game in a very short amount of time, then the IRC channel is the way to go for sure! Once in the IRC chat room, you can usually get a game in less than 5 minutes!

There is always a good group of people online, I hope you all will join us. The more there is, the easier it will be to get games started.

UPDATED: It seems Mibbit has greatly improved over the last year and runs great in any browser. It is now my recommended connection method as it is VERY easy to use. I'll leave other method guides below for those that want a dedicated IRC software.
UPDATE: Fixed Trillian guide link.
UPDATED: I have added guides for Trillian, mIRC and a link to use web based IRC.

BEST CONNECTION METHOD ON PC/MAC/LINUX

MIBBIT

http://www.mibbit.com/chat/

SETTINGS:

IRC: EFNET [webirc]

Nick: (yourname)
Channel: #ps0

Or see the attached image at the bottom of post for connection settings.


Other dedicated IRC software guides -

For Windows I suggest using Trillian or mIRC (or if you have Firefox the Chatzilla add on)-

http://www.mirc.com/

IRC connection guide for Trilian -
http://my.opera.com/Dave%20Sinkula/blog/setting-up-trillian-for-irc
Be sure to use irc.efnet.org and when you join a channel use #ps0

Connection guide for mIRC -
http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/arch...ad_buddies.cfm
Be sure to use irc.efnet.org and #ps0 rather than what is stated in the guide.

Or you can even use your web browser. This is the easiest method but I prefer a dedicated IRC program. IRC in a web browser can cause your browser to run slowly -

See the attached image for connection settings.

For Mac use Colloquy (or Chatzilla for Firefox users) -

http://colloquy.info/downloads.html

There is even a great iPhone IRC client called Rooms for only $3.

Once you have a client, connect to -

Server: Efnet (irc.efnet.org)
Host: #ps0

There is always a group of us on there and with more people it should be even easier to get a game going.

If anyone has any problem connecting, let me know I use all three above version so I can help you get connected (although it's VERY easy).

See you all online!

Lol, oops. Fixed

Sounds pretty cool. I think I'll probably get on there either tomorrow or wednesday. I figure I'd start out the new year with some online play.

I prefer mirc over trillian even though I have that installed too...

[parabolee]

I like mIRC too. But mIRC is only free for 30 days. And Trillian does the same job for free.

On the "reg now plox ur 30 days r up" window, you can just wait a few seconds and you can then click continue, so you can technically own it for free forever.

Good to know, thanks. I'll add it to the list.

Anyone else think this deserves a sticky [crosses fingers]

For those that haven't dropped in yet, it works great as semi-replacement for a PSO lobby.

[Akaimizu]

Ok. I'll download the client and set up a default for this irc.
