DAOC: Uthgard BETA IS COMING!

[Scrooge]

Just to get things rolling as far as communication of the guild outside the game, try to use IRC as often as possible. Even if you are AFK most of the time while in there, the more people idle in the channel, the more active it will become.

It's great especially for a crew with varying time zones, we should all idle in our channel as much as possible, to get familiar with each other, live chat is a much better way of me answering any additional questions you may have, or even scheduling group times by posting them in the topic.

If you've never used IRC before, it's a simple chat-room kind of server, stands for Internet Relay Chat. To get the windows client, go to www.mirc.com, it's a fairly straight forward setup. Once you setup your nick/alias (use your p99 forum names for now, so I'll know who's who for the time being,) do /server irc.rizon.net, then /join #uthgard. You can even register your nick with a password so that no one can steal your name there and we'll always know it's the real you, syntax is: /msg Nickserv register passwordhere emailhere, then you'll get an email with a confirmation code you'll have to enter and that's that.

There's another way for all of you guys to communicate via live chat on iRC, for those who never used it before, it's a chat client - very easy to setup.

Windows Client software: www.mirc.com
server: irc.rizon.net
channel: #uthgard

It's a great way for everyone to meet everyone else who will be playing, to ask any questions you might have, or discuss everything from class specs to game mechanics, even play times or guild events. We can even leave messages in the topic section of the channel, so that even if no one is in there, you'll still be able to see it, kind like an ingame MOTD.

1) Download & install the client at http://www.mirc.com/get.html

2) When you start the app, just put in your nick, preferrably same one as your forum one

2a) What you can also do is register your nick with the server, so that only you can use it on that server, it's a good security measure.

3) In the Servers section, add "irc.rizon.net" with the default port: 6667

4) Then hit "Select", it will take you back to the Connect section, then hit "Connect"

4a) An alternative way to connect to a server is to simply type "/server irc.rizon.net" in the console/status window, or to change your nick without reconnecting by doing "/nick newname"

5) Finally type /join #uthgard, and you're done

Cya in there!

P.S. There are IRC apps for Smart Phones also (search: irc client,) they're even easier to setup and connect with.

Hi guys, haven't played p1999 in a while, but I still check in.

I'm currently playing DAoC Live, but will be playing on Hibernia when Uthgard comes out. I never played on Uthgard 1.0, but I tried the Origins server last year at release and it was pretty garbage. Excited to get into Uthgard should be way more fun then playing the Live DAoC servers.

Main will be a Mana Enchanter and eventually will level and template a Nightshade.
