Registering an account on IRC

You do not need to register an account to connect and chat.

However if you need to join an invite-only channel, you must first register with AuthServ. Once registered and authenticated you can then receive channel invites.

Method #1

/msg send AuthServ help register

<AuthServ> REGISTER

<AuthServ> /msg AuthServ@Services.GameSurge.net REGISTER <account> <password> <email>

<AuthServ> Registers a specified account with AuthServ, adding your current user@host to your new account. You must use the same password with auth to authenticate to your account.

<AuthServ> An email will be sent to the email address you give containing a cookie that will let you activate your account. Once you have that cookie, you must use the cookie command to be able to use your account.

Method #2
