The information required to join the server and our channel:
IRC Server: irc.darkmyst.org
Port(s): 6667
Channel: #Obsidian_Shore

We do have a few rules for our IRC channel:

1. Do not argue personal or In-Game matters in the general channel. Keep it private, or in another channel with a staff member present.
2. Do not harass or grief other members in the channel. If you are having an issue with something, speak to an Operator in the channel. (This noted by the @ symbol next to their name)
3. Do not use IRC to Meta-Game. If for whatever reason players cannot meet in game, but would otherwise be alone you can take that In-Character conversation to another channel or keep it private assuming the situation allows for it.
4. Any rules that exist for the Obsidian Shore server that could pertain to IRC as well are not to be broken.
5. Do not talk anything about 4E DnD.

Hosting for our IRC channel is provided by Dark Myst.
