It does have a good community, but the dolts running FFOChat have had a stick up their asses about the auto-join function. They're the ones causing the problem, and they just can't SEE that. The FF14Rpchat channel at Allakhazam is up, and we're waiting for peeps to come in. I'm still looking for someone to take ownership of the channel so I don't have to keep adminning it.
Aveline? Please?

Never create something you're not willing to take care of yourself, I say this from personal experience. ^^;
That said, the whole vanachat thing gave me a pretty bad impression from the start. Having another IRC channel elsewhere might prove different or not but I think I'll stick to this here forum, either way.
Re: IRC? - Aveline - 08-11-2010
To be honest, I think it is one moderator at ffochat.com that is ruining it for us, and the inaction of the other mods to do anything about it.
The whole issue with it is that when you connect to ffochat.com, it auto populates you into the #vanadiel room. They're going to have to fix this eventually anyway, once more people start moving over to FF14 and have no interest in chatting in an FF11 area. Instead of dealing with it head on, Charitwo chose to blame us for making use of the ffochat.com IRC in the way it was intended: to bring together FF11 and FF14 players for communication. I have scoured the IRC's website and there is NOTHING there that says "you must remain in the #vanadiel room at all times while using our IRC."
He is simply being a douche about it for whatever personal reason he has, and he's given the whole thing a bad name in the eyes of the RPC, which is unfortunate.
To be honest, we have a little over a month before the game comes out & I do not see the IRC being much use to us after that point, especially if people are planning on making some kind of general roleplayers alternative linkshell.
Also I really don't want to take over operator responsibilities for a new RPC channel, as I didn't want them to begin with on the other one.

There a way to contact the Admins about this guy? I mean, he is ruining it for everyone and I'd rather not move either.

Pikko from Zam just emailed me. She wants to know if we'd be interested in setting up a channel through Zam. All we'd have to do is register the channel and then use it as we please. Yay? Nay?
Re: IRC? - Tadir - 08-11-2010
Absolutely!
Re: IRC? - ArmachiA - 08-11-2010
Wooooo
Re: IRC? - Kashemia - 08-11-2010
Sounds good, might come by
Re: IRC? - Aveline - 08-11-2010
Yae! (3 cheers for Pikko ^^)
Re: IRC? - Eeam - 08-11-2010
This has got to be the stupidest thing I've ever read. :I
Re: IRC? - Tadir - 08-11-2010
Which part?
Re: IRC? - Eeam - 08-12-2010
All of it. T_T;
Re: IRC? - Tadir - 08-12-2010
That is less than helpful. Do you mean us trying to set up an IRC channel, the FFOchat response to rpers, or what?
Re: IRC? - Aniir - 08-12-2010
I vote for the Yay!
Re: IRC? - NKato - 08-12-2010
Not So Much Of A News Flash: I've been banned from the Vanadiel chat channel sometime during the last 12 hours. I don't know why, because that spat from earlier only resulted in a kick. So what the hell?
Seriously guys, give upon FFOChat and move to Allakhazam's server for the RP Chat. I do NOT want to stay in that FFOChat IRC server for another day. There is a principle here that you guys are completely ignoring: RESPECT. If we continue to patronize the FFOChat server, we are VALIDATING their behavior.
It's like giving candy to a brat who keeps kicking your shins.
