*** PLEASE read everything here. You MUST reply to this post with your registered name if you wish to be voiced. Simply registering is NOT enough. You need to reply here, as well. ***
*** Please note: IRC is NOT a place to log in so you can have conversations with YOURSELF to and from the game. We will REMOVE your auto-voice privilege if we see this as it is very spammy and makes real chat difficult to follow. ***
*** ADDITIONALLY... IRC is NOT your own personal direct line to the staff and admin team. ALL player/server concerns, whitelist request, ban appeals, ideas, notions or opinions need to be communicated over the forum or in game. IRC is not the place. Thank you for understanding. As many of you have noticed we've decided to change the way we handle giving voice on IRC.
"Voice" on IRC means your ability to speak in the public #Famcraft IRC channel.
In the past, it was simple. You'd join #Famcraft IRC, and just start chatting away, no questions asked. This is because you are a Famcrafter, and Famcrafters ROCK!
Sadly, not
everyone is a Famcrafter
Some people are just very bored meanypants. Last week, a group of very bored potty-mouthed
NON-Famcrafters hopped right into our IRC channel, and said many rude and otherwise inappropriate things. Obviously, we do not want to
ever see anything like this happen again. We've made some changes to help better protect our community.
As a result of these changes, currently when you join #Famcraft IRC, you have to wait for a staff member to notice you've joined and then they will grant you voice. (The ability to speak on IRC) This is not ideal for players OR staff.
We know some players have been very unhappy with these changes, but keep in mind it's not much fun for staff to have the extra job of watching for players to join irc so they can grant them voice either. Staff stays busy enough! lol.
We want to offer an option that may be helpful for some of you. This option will allow you to join #Famcraft IRC, and be voiced automatically upon joining. However- This option
DOES take some effort on
YOUR PART.
In order to be auto-voiced when you join IRC, you will need to register your IRC nick name. We
CAN NOT help you with this beyond providing these instructions here. We
do not own or operate the IRC network as a whole. We just have the #Famcraft IRC channels. There is
ABSOLUTELY nothing we can do to help you register your nick name. However, if you follow the steps provided below, you should be able to register your nick name easily. If you have trouble with it, contact an adult you trust IRL, such as a parent, guardian or other relative and ask them to help you.
Registering your nick name has the additional benefit of protecting your name so no one else can register it and use it. Please note, you will lose your registration if you do not log in at least one time every 30 days.
NO MATTER WHAT, Please
DO NOT post the info you use to register on this thread. Post your registed nick name and
ONLY the nick name.
DO NOT post the email address OR the password you used in this forum, and do not share that information with anyone else. This is very important. Always keep your passwords private and safe.
To Register Your IRC Nick Name1.) Join IRC via the webchat here:
https://famcraft.com/index.php?action=chat , or your favorite IRC client using the name you would like to register. Some names will already be registered, so be sure to have an alternative in mind. Remember, your IRC name needs to be similar enough to your in game name that we will know who you are.
2.) Select the "
Status" Tab up top on webchat, OR look for the Status Window in your IRC client. The "Status" window may be named
"EsperNet" This is an important step. It can keep you from accidentally sending your password and email address into public chat.
3.) Type this in the "
Status" window:
/msg NickServ REGISTER yourpassword youremail@example.com
4.) Check your email for a message from "EsperNet Account Registration"
The email will say something like this:
Cherub,
In order to complete your account registration, you must type the following
command on IRC:
/msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER Cherub weirdlineoftext
Thank you for registering your account on the EsperNet IRC network!
5.) Hightlight, right-click and copy the line of text that says "/msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER YourName weirdlineoftext", make sure you do not copy any white space before the text. So copy only exactly that one line of text.
6.) Paste that one line of text you just copied- "/msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER YourName weirdlineoftext" into the "
Staus" window.
7.) Verify that you see the message:
[20:02] -NickServ- YourName has now been verified.
[20:02] -NickServ- Thank you for verifying your e-mail address! You have taken steps in ensuring that your registrations are not exploited.
8.) Now, each time you join #Famcraft IRC, type the following to log in and be automatically voiced-
/msg NickServ IDENTIFY YourPassword
9.)
Post your registered nick name here so we can get you set up to receive voice automatically. Until we set it up for you, it will not work. Letting us know you are registered is the final step. Again, ONLY post your nick name here. DO NOT post the email or password you used.
