Firstly, read the rules. it's a good idea to become accustomed with our rules and regulations before you start chatting. This way you'll know what to and what not to do. It will save you from getting into trouble, and possible banned. Secondly, find yourself a good name. Names on chat are also known as "nick"s. You want people to recognize you, so it's best to use 1 nickname, preferably the same as your IGN. You also need to get this nick registered. This means it will have a password, so nobody will be able to steal it and impersonate you. To register a nick, the command is: /msg nickserv register <yournewpassword> <youremail> Enter your password and your email in the places mentioned, without the brackets. After this is done, every time you enter chat, you will need to type: /msg nickserv identify <yourpassword> This will identify you as you and will confirm it's not an imposter. Thirdly, become a friendly face in chat. Talk to people, interact with the staff, and be nice. Gradually people will get to know you and you'll make friends. Remember to comply with the rules at all times, but don't forget to have fun! The staff are always there to help if you need them. PM them, or ask for help in the #Help Channel. The names of staff personnel are listed below. ••••• Moderators / Staff Members on Chat. To enforce the rules and make sure everything runs smoothly, we have a few staff members who moderate the chat. They only have powers on chat, and are not actual admins in-game, with the exception of Patrick, Rob, and Chris (the game admins) who are present as well. However, Mods will always be willing to help and guide you, in-game and on chat.
