Where are we?

The players of vendetta can often be found in IRC, we lurk on the server irc.slashnet.org and have a couple of main channels.

  • #vendetta is basically talk about anything, sometimes the developers ask for some input here.
  • #vorelay is the new home to the IRC to Vendetta bot, it relays chat from ingame to here, and visa versa.
  • #vrctc is the re-enabled relay of the CtC channels
  • #vendetta-itani is for Itani nation people
  • #viper an access-restricted channel for the Viper Guild, their friends and allies.
  • #vendetta-pirates is an access-restricted channel for an elite group of pirates. Attempt to join this channel and you WILL be kicked and banned from the channel instantly.
  • #RED an access restricted channel for the Red Eternal Dominion Serco military wing. Allies of the Dominion are encouraged to join.

In-game Chat Channel

Through hard work by FiReMaGe and draugath it is possible to chat with people in-game while you yourself are not logged into your game.

Commands

The commands you can send to the IRC bot and what they do.

Command Description Example
/msg vo Sends the command to the IRC bot allowing you to do the list of commands. MUST BE PREFIXED TO THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS. /msg vo help
/msg vo ch Hello, Vendetta Online!
as Changes the default identity (which must be linked to you) that will be used when you chat through the relay. Useful when you have multiple accounts/alts and want to relay "as" one of them instead. Can also be used inline with "ch" or "toch" to temporarily change your identity.
