== Description ==
IRC (Internet Relay Chat) can refer to both a set of protocols as discussed in [http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc1459.html rfc1459] or to the chat medium they regulate.  There are many IRC networks, each formed from one or more interlinked servers.  Generally, to conncect to an IRC server, a specific [[IRC Client]] is used, such as [http://www.mirc.com mirc], [http://www.xchat.org xchat], [http://www.ircle.com ircle] or others.  Alternativly, the Planetarion Com Unit or another CGIIRC will do the job.


== Uses ==
Many [[Alliances]] use IRC as a primary means of communication.  If you want to [[join an alliance]] irc activity is often required.
== NetGamers ==
[[Planetarion]]'s main channel, [[#Planetarion]], can be found on the [[NetGamers]] IRC network, at irc.netgamers.org. 
The [http://www.netgamers.org NetGamers Website] contains more information about the network.
[[Connecting to IRC]] is simple, and well worth it if you intend to get the maximum fun out of Planetarion
