Planetside IRC Channel

Naeadil · 2012-02-27, 05:54 PM

Wasn't sure where to post this, or even if these types of posts are allowed.

An unofficial Planetside IRC channel has recently been setup.

Server: irc.gamesurge.net
Channel: #Planetside
IRC Link: irc://irc.gamesurge.net/Planetside
Mibbit Link: http://wbe001.mibbit.com/?server=web...395953ba30902c

With beta rolling around soon, I think it would be a great way to bring the community together and talk about all things Planetside! Even PSU-Tigersmith is in here!

Update: We just set up a TwitterBot for our channel in addition to our Youtube/Weather/IMDB/etc bot! If @Planetside2, @MHigby, or @RedditSide tweets, it will be posted by our bot in the channel. Keep up to date with all the latest Planetside 2 News without having to browse the web! Really useful if you use IRC at work.

Thanks and hope to see more of you in the channel soon!

Also, this channel has little to no rules. You can be as crude as you want.

See you there!

NOTE: This channel has a separate purpose from Planetside Universe's IRC Channel. Please support Planetside Universe by also idling in Planetside Universes' IRC!

psu has an irc channel ya know?

PSU has its own IRC SERVER!

If you want to keep the community together, make those channels there :P

This channel is for Planetside fans from all communities, not just PSU.

What other sizable PS communities are there, other than PSU?

The community would be better served by consolidation.

New channels can be made on a whim for specific interests, such as #planetside2ideas for features wish listing and #PSUTR, #PSUNC, #PSU VS for empire issues, and same-server channels for individual clans or intra-empire clan/guild/outfit discussions. Channels are easy as shit to make.

Two competing communities provide no benefit; plus, we have TR, NC, and VS rivalries already, we don't need more.

Reddit, SomethingAwful, 4chan, Fohguild, gamers from other game communities

idk, just naming a few off the top of my head

Also, I don't know if PSU IRC has an anything goes policy. Well, this channel does.

Depends. From what I can tell the PSU IRC follows the same general rules as the forums. That is to say it's pretty relaxed. Not sure why one would need an "anything goes policy" for a channel to talk about Planetside 2. I mean you can swear in the PSU channel if you want. I guess.

Also anyone is able to join the PSU one. It's not really exclusive. I think I joined their IRC before I joined PSU.

Pretty much anything goes within reason in #ps-universe.

But it's an open IRC with services, nickserv chanserv etc so folks are also welcome to create channels. Feel free to join and invite others

Guys, we gotta work together here.
There are no divisions. This is one Planetside 2 community.
until beta arrives and I get to steamroll me some TR/VS

Seems to be working well.

The whole point is that it's an independent community, so we don't tarnish PSU's reputation by saying some crazy ass shit.

Nothing wrong with having both channels. We already have 20+ ppl in here actively chatting.
