Acquire and set up an IRC client


This guide will teach you how to acquire and set up an IRC

Before we begin with our tutorial, you should know that eRepublik mainly uses the Rizon server. When you open up your IRC client, whatever you use, you'll have to sign onto Rizon before you can do anything else. More on this later.

What is an IRC client and how to use it ?


IRC is a chat protocol that runs on many clients on most Operating System's and also have web-based clients. Here is a good list of quality IRC clients.

Web-base😛


Mibbit : The easiest way to join chat .

Rizon IRC : In rizon IRC , you have to write names , and channel name (which is #epakistan for epakistani chatroom) .

Chatzilla : A firefox addon ! .

Downloadable IRC Softwares :

mIRC : Its a popular and a FREE IRC client gives you a 90 day trial before asking you to register. You don't have to register, but it'll irritate you every time you start it up about registering.

XChat: Is a powerful IRC client for Linux and Windows with several features that other clients leave out. It has a 30 day trial perios before asking for a $20 "donation" but internet savvy people can find ways around that(thought not the latest version, it's been tested for months on Windows 7 and is known to work well).

XChat 2 : Is a user-made build based on XChat, and is completely free.

Colloquy : Is a flashy IRC client for Mac users.

Xchat Aqua : Is a build of XChat for Mac OS X.

Setting yourself up




Mibbit and Rizon's webchats are both extremely easy and noob-friendly.

ChatZilla is a Firefox addon that can be opened from FF's Tools menu after installing.

ChatZilla's startup screen

When you open up ChatZilla, you type in /server irc.rizon.net To connect to Rizon. That button on the image above that says Emerick is what you click to change your nick. Alternatively, you could type in nick nickname, like in other clients. This and other common IRC commands will be covered later.

To set ChatZilla to start up Rizon when it opens, follow this path, starting at the ChatZilla dropdown menu: ChatZilla - Preferences - Startup and then add irc://irc.rizon.net as an Auto-Connect URL.


mIRC :

To get started on mIRC, simply go to File - Options - Servers, and select Rizon as shown above. Then, after playing around with other options, go to the connect tab, input the data there, and you're there.


Channel for Pakistani community is #epakistan
