Heroscape on mIRC!

[Metaknight]

I don't know if anybody here is familiar with mIRC, but it is a chat service. What's great about mIRC is it is instant and real time. You type, its there, the person types back, its there. I've created a channel where you can come onto mIRC and talk about, guess what... Heroscape!

An alternative way if you have Mozilla Firefox (which can be easily downloaded) would be to get chatzilla, which this is absolutely free!! It looks different, but the set up is pretty much the same. If you have problems or I forgot something, ask here. (Google will help with the various assortment of controls).

Good luck and have fun.
