Barliman's Chat Did you ever regularly chat in Barliman’s? If you’ve ever dropped by, or were a regular in the TORn chatrooms, join us this Saturday between 3pm and 6pm ET as we celebrate TORn’s 15th anniversary (or TORniversary, if you prefer).

How do I connect to chat?

For those who don’t recall how to visit the chat, it’s dead easy. Just use either of the Mibbit links below.

Mibbit TORn widget
Mibbit full-feature chat

We recommend selecting a nickname before connecting, but you can also change to a different nick after you connect by typing the commend: /nick newnick.

If you know how to use Chatzilla, mIRC, Colloquy or some other independent IRC chat client, our connection details are:

Server: irc.theonering.net
Port: 6667 (6697 for SSL)
Channel: #theonering.net

When does it start in my time zone?

Not sure what time that is in your particular time zone? Just head to this link to find out: Time zone conversions.

Chat netiquette and guidelines and stuff

And these guidelines will help you avoid invoking the wrath of our fearsome innkeep Barliman and getting thrown out (ie: banned). Hint: it mostly boils down to play nice with your fellow chatters, don’t be rude, and don’t swear.

See you Saturday!
