| [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat Internet Relay Chat] (or IRC) is the one of the best ways to communicate with anyone across the globe in real time. Most of the users that play within <i>Zandronum</i> usually connects to the <i>Zandronum</i> IRC network. Additionally, as <i>IRC</i> is adjacent to any other chat like environment, it is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_commands command-line] driven and usually not graphically driven with icons. Thus, to really get around IRC, the user must utilize commands to accomplish this. Furthermore, there is a lot of software with IRC support. Some server browsers such as [[Internet Doom Explorer]] and [[Doomseeker]] support IRC, but yet - there is an abundance of software available.
