Changing
your nickname: To change
your nickname, type: /nick
YourNickname
Registering your
nickname: If no one else on
the server is using your chosen nickname, you can register it and make
it your own. To do this,
you will need to be on the nickname you wish to register and then
enter: /ns register
YourPassword YourEmail Once you have done this, you
will receive a confirmation e-mail. After following the link inside,
your name will become active. Please
Note: If someone has already registered
your desired nickname, your name will be changed to "Guest" after a
short period of time.
Identifying with your
nickname: After registering
your nickname, the next time you log on with it you will need to enter
your password so
that the server will be able to confirm your identity. There are two
means of doing this, both of which are very easily. 1) Before you log in, you
will see a checkbox that says "Identify to nickserv". You may check this box and type in your
password to be automatically identified once you
connect to the server. 2) If
you are already logged on under your registered name, you may type: /ns
identify
YourPassword

this, don't hesitate to ask for help in the channel. There's virtually
always someone around to help you!
