Booted from IRC

[Opaloka]

Im getting booted from IRC after a couple of mins idle, whereupon i have to go into internet options, delete history and cookies etc, to get back in, only to be booted out again 2 mins later....

Kinda defeating the point of having IRC if its not usable by all, without all this hassle jsut to stay logged into it

So what am i doing wrong? Presumably everyone isnt suffering the same?

Do you use your in game name as your IRC name, or do you just leave it as Citizen because it is requested that you change your nickname to your in game name. Other than that, I do not know.

Also -- the client on the website is provided free for players. BUT, you can can download a free desktop client, thats a program on your desktop so your browser cannot kick you.

Yes i use my ingame name - Autumnstar - i always feel those who use citizen123 or another name are trying to hide something, so they can talk like jerks in IRC without it affecting their characters reputation or something :p

Ok guess i will download a client, im not what i'd call a full time user, i really only use it when i need to ask something, wish i could be there to answer other people's questions more, since i cant have it displaying at same time im displaying my game, its nowhere near as social as the old chat system, what a shame we couldnt get it working, ah well, thanks for replies guys

Actually, as far as stats go, the IRC has triple the dialogue in it compared to in games global chat before.

And there is always a way to get it working with the staff we have, but a separate chat room is the much better route.  It works out much, much better and allows staff to be much more efficient.  It also logs everything for hours on end, so you could just log in, minimize it, and bring it up at your pleasure and read to see what you missed.
