Introduction
Hello everyone!
Recently the CrossFire Moderators and GMs have been discussing ways to interact more with you, the community. We then realized we already had a means of communication that we let slip as time went by. Today we would like to re-introduce the official CrossFire chat room.
The CrossFire chat room is a place for the community to talk to each other, to Moderators, and to GMs in a casual setting. This chat room is not for tech support or account support, we will not be providing you a way to get your account information through it, but we will occasionally help provide answers when we can. This chat is a place for you to hangout and have fun with fellow community members. Its a place that will give you the chance to get a little more recognition to your threads, events, streams, etc. We want to provide you guys with an easier way to communicate to the staff, but we also want to provide you guys a place to just have fun outside of the game.
How To Connect
We rely on IRC to bring you guys this chat room meaning there are all kinds of ways to connect, and how you do is personal preference. In this section I'll list a few different ones with how to connect, and then provide links to a few other clients.
Via Browser (Web Chat)
To connect to the chat room through your browser simply click this link! Once you have reached the web page, simply replace the mib_#### username with your Forum/In Game name and press connect, it is that simple!
mIRC (Recommended Client)
If you are looking to participate in the chat room a lot then I recommend having a client. Our personal preference is mIRC. The information you're going to need for this is:
- Server: irc.gamesurge.net
- Channel: #CrossFire
If you have not before used mIRC but would like to please refer to this video. However when he gets to server choose GameSurge from the list. If you have any issues please feel free to post and I'll try to help you out!
Other Clients
- HexChat (Client) - Click here for how to connect.
- CIRC (Chrome Extension) - Click here for how to connect.
- ChatZilla (FireFox Extension) - Click here for how to connect.
Rules
- Forum rules apply. This means no spamming, no malicious links, no mature content, etc.
- Ask permission before PMing a GM/MOD. Please do not spam their clients!
- Do not ask for account support. We might help with technical issues occasionally, but do not expect it.
- No asking for codes.
- English Only. We need to understand what is being said.
- Do not ask to be a chat moderator. Asking will result in you being kicked. If we want you, we'll ask you.
FAQ
Q: Can I be a chat moderator?
A: At the moment all chat moderation will be done by current CrossFire GMs/MODs along with the bots we have in the channel.
Q: What do the @ and + mean before a user's name?
A: @ represents an OP, someone who has the power to moderate the chat. This will be given to GMs/MODs so you will be able to know it is actually them! The + is for voiced users, this does not mean they can chat on a microphone, it just means it is a user who spends time on the chat and who we recognize to be a good role model. The bots are a little more lenient towards them.
Q: Who is ChanServ/SpamServ?
ChanServ and SpamServ are bots, they are there to protect the channel and enforce the rules. They will warn and kick/temp ban as necessary. If you find they are too strict please let me know so I can adjust them!
Q: How can I register my account?
A: To register an account so you can be voiced, please follow this guide:
https://gamesurge.net/newuser/
Q: How can I mask my IP?
A: To mask your IP (to prevent issues when streaming and just in general) please refer to this guide: https://gamesurge.net/userchanmodes/user
Q: Can I get a custom mask?

Then go to Tools -> Options -> Connect -> Options -> Perform -> Check "Enable perform on connect" -> Under Network: choose Gamesurge -> type "/join #CrossFire" (no quotations).

it was my idea.
I suggested it many times before
Anyway , I will be there *-*
Finally I can chat with my fans
It isn't your idea, since the IRC channel existed long before you ever started posting on the forum. It was just left empty for a (long) while. -
I'd like to thank everyone who's stopped by and chatted so far, it has been fun!
Keep in mind post 5:00PM EDT you won't be seeing many GMs. The chat will die down around this time. If you find it being slow try coming back earlier tomorrow!
As for trolls, we have precautions in place and will be dealing with any. We have automatic means, and the staff to deal with it. Of course we'll be adjusting as we move forward though! -
How to change password when I am done registered an account @game surge?
After registered, I got an email with password. But I don't wanted that password, and wanted my own password instead. I been searching everywhere if I can change my password, but I can't find any tools. Any know? -

Thanks for the remind. I just so excited to join chatroom and read top without read bottom. It does said how to change to new password at bottom.
I went fully nuts there lol xD -
I was there , but no one talks!
No one there.
I cant talk to myself. Its boring
Sorry about that, today was on off day. [GM]ql_la wasn't in today and they are the one overseeing the chat for the most part. As for myself I had a busy day of work.I know the way to add chat to anythread.
Just give me the access to post HTML codes
Would be better than ketting someone see my IP there..
Yeah, no. HTML access in threads is a huge security issue.
Also, if you read the faq you would see that I provided the information needed to mask your IP.it was my idea.
Sorry, but as Vu said this IRC has been a thing for a long time. We had this IRC (well, a different channel) before G4Box and Wicked Interactive even broke apart. (Before re-establishing as Z8Games). -
It's a shame that no one uses it anymore. I go on it daily and I see no one online, not even the GM's...
All I see is Rex but he's always afk.
Sorry about that, the time frame I was asked to launch this during was pretty bad for me because it was right before I went to LA and also right before I'm heading back up to college.
We're going to look at a way to populate this and keep it going. This was our bad.
