==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'''<!-- , and thanks to '''[http://www.vendetta-onair.com/ Vendetta OnAir]''' for hosting the IRC bot, --> it is possible to chat with people in-game while you yourself are not logged into your game.<br>
<!-- In order to do this you must first log onto our IRC server (see above) and join the channel '''#vorelay'''.  Then you must register with relay bot, which is currently named '''VOA''' in the channel (and "'''VOA'''" in-game):
#Register your IRC nickname if you have not already using NickServ.
#*Type: '''/msg nickserv register <password> <email>''' Replacing password with the password you'd like and email with your ''valid'' email address.
#*Now activate your account by following the directions in your email (it will send you an activation code).
#*Type: '''/msg nickserv identify <password>'''
# In your IRC client, type '''/msg VOA link <game name>''' where <game name> is the name of the character in the game you want to act as
# You need to log in to Vendetta and do what the bot told you to do, which should be to type (in-game): '''/msg VOA link <your IRC nickname>'''
# Make sure there is a space after the underscore in-game when you enter the command.
# Congratulations, your IRC nickname will now be able to use the bot!  You can send the commands you see in the following section, '''Commands''' to the bot. -->
