    I tried to use IRC once and was utterly baffled by the instructions for use before I got even halfway through them. I don't even understand what it is or how it works, other than that it seems primitive compared to simple log in a use mmessenger services.

    I say "seems" because I have no clue if it actually IS primitive in comparison. I am a complete and utter technophobe, so I wouldn't know. Anyone share a few tips?

      IRC is extremely primitive, it actually predates the web and IMHO is not at all user friendly compared to modern chat systems. That said, it's actually easy to use despite appearances.

      The knightmare IRC server has also been the home of KMchat for 10+ years. IRC also has the advantage that it's more designed for chatrooms and multiple person interaction than the likes of MSN/ICQ which tend to be 1-to-1. I know they can handle more, but IRC comfortably handles thousands at once

      Tips:

      What operating system are you using?

        Hi there. I thought it might be useful to update the link to the archived RPG section, undervalued as I believe it is.

        http://www.knightmare.com/fan-stuff/interactive-rpg.html

        The season two logs in particular go some way towards proving how effective the type of game, as you describe it, could be. They are an excellent demonstration of the amount of work required, the amount of recycling that can be done, the sort of puzzles (and the difficulty) that work well in a text based setting, and so forth. Knightmare was famed for its difficulty; it’s tough to pull off. Also in your favour: the technological glitches that haunted many players on dial-up a decade ago should be much less of an issue now.

        Certainly, keep the dialogue open!

          hrm, this has all gone rather quiet again. I was looking forward to a resurgence of text based adventures 😕

                  As excuses go, this one actually flies, folks. I've been incapacitated and in and out of hospital. I am also lazy, it has to be said, but still here anyway.

                  Either that or I'd been abducted by aliens.

                      I'm OK. And yes, I am also an FFVII fan.

                      Haven't we had this conversation before?
