mIRC is a popular chat program which is mainly used by video game players around the world.

In other game communities in the world almost all players are connected to its IRC channel, where they discuss with each other as well as arrange matches and sometimes find clans.. We aim to do the same with JJ2 now .

There are several IRC channels related in some way to the online Jazz Jackrabbit community. The most active is #jj2 at the QuakeNet network, but others are available too. A more comprehensive list can be found further down in this topic.

A small guide on how to connect to IRC and join #jj2:

How to use mIRC

1. Download mIRC, an IRC client, off http://www.mirc.com/
2. Install.
3. Run the program. Press continue. A window named "mIRC Options" will open - go to the "Connect" tab, fill your nickname, and also your full name, your email address and an alternative nickname, or at least just fill SOMETHING there. ;p
4. Go to "Connect" -> "Servers", choose Quakenet.
5. Go back to the "Connect" tab, click at "Connect to server".
6. Once you are connected to Quakenet a window will open, where you can set a list of favorite channels, and also join ones (e.g. #help). Simply enter "#jj2" in the text box and click "Join". You can also join it by clicking here once you have mIRC installed and configured.
7. To make idling easier: Click alt+o, go to "Display" -> "Options" -> "Tray", choose "Place mIRC in tray when minimized".

• Register an account with Q, an IRC service that had several useful features.

IRC may seem strange to you first. In case there's something you can't figure out or want to know more about there's the channel #help. You can join it as described above, or type "/join #help" in mIRC (followed by enter). People in #jj2 will generally be glad to help you if you're having problems too.
