New Chat

First of all, glad its back

Could we get the Chat Room link back up at the top of the page? Maybe a bit more advertising? I only found it by accident.

Second, and perhaps not quite so pressing, maybe some cosmetic changes to make it feel more Aelyrian and less 'this is an open place that aelyrian people happen to hang out'?

Are you referring to the one that can be found on the main page? Because if you are that one has been there for quite some time, but I believe that we are discouraged in using it as at this time, it is not possible to be moderated, so basically it is a free area without enforceable restrictions... I believe.

So I think that is why it is so un-Aelyrian as well as why it has not been placed back at the top.

And of course, I could be completely wrong about everything I just said, hope that helped a little though

I know about that one, and yeah, that one should be left alone.

Here's what I was referring to: [Tech] Chatroom Returns

You can easily avoid looking at the "ugly" chat by downloading an IRC client or accessing it from a different online applet.

*points out that most people wouldn't want or know how to deal with that*

Also I think he means the properly made chat by Wessex that were all now using. Since theres no links save for the one in commons some players may not even relise its there. After all its rather hidden away

Unfortunately, Juan has not even given the official sanction on the chat and he is the only one who can place it in a more visible place on the website. People will merely have to make do with finding this link or word of mouth until such a thing can be done.

A client or finding another applet is not difficult. Mibbit.com - Easy and fast Webchat is being used by a few people who say they actually enjoy it. Using a mac, I don't know anything about PC clients so I won't even begin going on about those, but mac users can easily get a hold of Colloquy and it's a great, very easy to use program.

It's not hard.

For those individuals who do want to use an applet/irc client, the information for the chatroom is:

Server: muforge.com
Port: 6667
Channel: #aelyria

Okay this is just going to be done through mIRC since it's usually the most popular and easiest one to use. Plus it's the one I use and I'm not going to go do this for multiple IRC programs. So take it or leave it.
