Try our in-browser java irc client.
Or you can download mIRC for free from 1. Once installed you can fill out your username information and continue below:
To Connect
If you have mIRC installed you can click this link and it will connect you.

/server irc.uohost.net
alternate server names are irc.unrealgamers.net and irc.synergygaming.com

Once Connected
To join a channel to chat, use command /join. Our most popular channels are
planetside and #srn. For example, type
/join #planetside
to join the #planetside room.
Registering
Once connected you can register yourself to the server by typing
/register
<password>
then the next time you visit type
/auth
Personal Messages
To send personal messages (called queries) use the command /query with their name (and optionally a message). For example, to say hello to martyr, you would type (in any irc room)
/msg martyr hello
Notes on the Java client
The java client requires Sun's Java browser plug-in.
This client works in Firefox and Mozilla browsers, Opera, Safari, Konquerer, and even Internet Explorer (although the Syndicate does not condone its use in any circumstance).
It automatically connects to our server first, and then channel
planetside. The first window that opens, called "Status," is the status
of your connection to the server. This window is handy for executing private commands that you wouldn't want another room to see (if you leave out the leading /, for example), such as sending queries to other people.
Once the connection is made, the window for #planetside automatically opens.
