IRC Clients
In this topic there will be given some ways to connect to the IRC network. There are all kinds of things you can do on IRC, like registering yourself and creating channels, but those won't be explained here. If you want to know more about other things that have to do with IRC, next to how to get there, please click the following link:
What is IRC?
In this topic a couple of clients are being discussed, both online (on a website) as those you install on your PC (software clients). The two most common ones are the Java client on our website and mIRC, a free and downloadable client. These two will be discussed the most but here is a list of different clients for different Operating Systems. If you want to know more about a certain client, click on it's name:

mIRC
mIRC must be the most common used and known IRC client of them all. Both experienced as inexperienced users find this a easy client to use, though the very newest of them might find mIRC too difficult to start with, mainly because of the appearance it gives you. Most support commands and scripts are written for mIRC users.
Important Notice: This Help will only be about how to install and configure mIRC. No other clients.
A short overview on the Ogame IRC-Server (OnlineGamesNet):
Host: irc.onlinegamesnet.net
Port: 6667
Channel: #gladiatus.by
Or when the irc protocol for your browser is enabled (mIRC must be installed):
Connect to OnlineGamesNet!
Let’s Get Started:
First we have to download mIRC. You can get the newest mIRC version --> here <--.
After mIRC has downloaded successfully, you should see that:
Just double-click on it to start the installation process.
Click on "Next >".
Now read the terms of the license agreement carefully
and accept them by clicking on "I Agree".
Then select the packages you want to install or just leave it as it is and click "Next >".
Click on "Browse" and select the folder to which you want to install mIRC. After that click on "Next >".
Now press on "Install" to install mIRC to your system.
Check the "Run mIRC" box and click on "Finish".
Later you can start mIRC at the installation folder:
Or in the start menu (Start -> Programs -> mIRC -> mIRC).
After mIRC has launched, you will see this:
It tells you that you have 30 days to try out mIRC and then you will have to pay. But when the 30 days are over you can still continue to use mIRC without paying, you just have to wait a bit before the Continue field becomes active.
In the next window you see the dialog with your connection settings. Enter just anything for Full Name, then just some random Email Address, your Nickname and some Alternative in case your Nickname is already chosen.
After that change to "Servers".
First you click on "Add".
Then the following window will appear and you will have to fill it out, like it is shown on the screenshot.
When you are done, press "Add" and you will be back at the Server window.
Change to the Options window. Then you should see this:
Here you have to check the "Connect on Startup" box and remove the check mark at "Popup Connect dialog on startup".
Then press "Perform" and a new window will open:
Select "Add" and search for the OnlineGamesNet, then select it and press "OK".
Now put a check mark at "Enable perform on connect" and change the "All Networks" to "OnlineGamesNet" in the drop down menu.
After that fill out the Perform Commands as you can see it on this screenshot and adapt them for your use by adding the channels you want to join every time when you start mIRC.
Select "OK" and you should be back at the Options menu. Press "OK" again.
In the next step, click on the symbol that you can see on the screenshot; you have to press it every time when you want to connect or disconnect to/from IRC.
Now a lot of text should appear in the white window and the "mIRC Channel Folder" window will open.
Remove the check mark at "Pop up folder on connect".
When you see a screen like this, you successfully configured mIRC and connected to the OnlineGamesNet. Congratulations!
Explanations:
At the bottom you see the input line where you can type everything you want to say and every command.
Above the input line you can see the channel where you can see the messages of all the people in the channel.
On the right you see a list of all the people who are in the channel.
An '@' in front of their names means that they are channel operator and have the power to kick and ban people.
People with a '+' in front of their names have 'voice' and can talk if the channel is moderated (normal people with no @ or + can't).
In the channel window you also see join, quit and part messages. That means:
join = somebody entered the channel
part = somebody left the channel
quit = somebody left the whole IRC or server
When you are connected i recommend to register yourself and get authed: How to register an Auth Account
Many thanks to:
Neffe who wrote it.
rotvicX who translated it to English.
Merlin who updated it to fit mIRC 6.2

xChat
xChat is an IRC client suitable for both Windows as Linux users and is similar to mIRC. Both inexperienced as experienced IRC users might find this a neat IRC client to use, due to the good looks and many possibilities to ajust it to their own style.
If you want to download and install xChat, please click the following link:
xChat Download
Let's get started shall we?
First download and install X-Chat to a directory of your choice, usually
that is "C:\Program Files\XChat". Follow the steps and it should install
easliy enough.
Then, click on the icon on your desktop.
When you start up X-Chat, the server list will come up. Click "Add."
You then will have to name it. Lets just name it OGame for now.
Change the information next "Nick Name, your Second Choice Nick Name
and so forth just in case your desired one is already taken. Choose a user
name and input your name in the "Real Name" box. I suggest you put
only your first name.
Next, click "Edit" and you'll be shown this. You will see the server say
something along the lines of "new server/6667," Click "Edit" and change
the server name to [COLOR=[color=#009900][/color]]irc.onlinegamesnet.net/6667[/COLOR]
Click the check box next to "Use Global User Information".
Type in your desired channels to join. I suggest you type in #gladiatus.by
Leave everything else blank and click "Close." You should be back at the
"Server List".
Click on the network you named OGame, then click connect. It'll
connect for you and join whatever channel you desire.

Trillian
Trillian is a multi purpose messenger, allowing you to chat with MSN, Yahoo, AIM and IRC. It is not the most suitable client if you are an experienced user, willing to go a step further than basic chatting, but for beginners it's a nice client to try.
Although there are beta versions released of Trillian, suitable for Mac OS, I only advice Windows users to use this client. So if you are a Windows user and willing to download and install this client, you can find the download at the following link:
Trillian Download
First of all you need to make sure that the IRC module for Trillian is installed. In order to check that
go to Trillian->Trillian Prereferences and change to Plugins. Here the IRC plugin should
be activated.
Once this is done go to Identities & Connections still in the Trillian Prereferences and create
a new connection by using the Add a new Connection button with choosing IRC.
Now you have to enter some data which could look like this:
Instead of ogame2.ogamenet.net:8080 you could also use irc.ogamenet.net:6667 and of course you can enter your
individual nickname instead of "Tuatha".
If you want to automatically connect on startup check the box and you are done with setting IRC up.
To establish a connection to the irc network press Connect.
It can take a while until the connection process is done. Meanwhile you can check your Trillian. Usually you
see icons in different colors for the different services. E.g. a yellow round ball for AIM, a blue one for
MSN, etc. The IRC one is white.
If you cannot see these symbols go to the right corner on the bottom of Trillian, right click and choose
attach to IRC or some other service. Now you should be able to click on the white Symbol for IRC:
Choose Join a Channel and there enter: #gladiatus.by
Press OK and you will join the gladiatus channel - Congrats!
With many thanks to 'tuatha'
