To connect to an IRC network, you'll need an IRC client (a program designed to connect to IRC networks for chatting).  [[w:MIRC|mIRC]] is the most popular choice for Windows users.  You can download it from [http://www.mirc.com/get.html the official mIRC download page]. Install it.  This guide is designed for mIRC, since the writer doesn't use any other IRC client.

Run mIRC.  Go into the options menu (Tools -> Options) and set up your nickname and alternative nickname in the "Connect" menu (found in the list of menus on the left side of the main options window), then go to the "Servers" menu and drop down the box labelled "IRC Network".

The correct title of this article is #worms on GameSurge. The omission of the # is due to technical restrictions.

#worms is an IRC channel located on the GameSurge IRC network. It is currently considered to be the present iteration of the #worms IRC channel, continuing a history of network swapping whilst providing for different generations of wormers.

IRC

To connect to #worms, you must have an IRC client installed on your computer. If you do, simply use it to connect to the GameSurge network and join the channel, or try clicking the link below:

irc://irc.gamesurge.net/worms

If nothing happened, or you get an error message, you will need to set up an IRC client manually. If you do not have the GameSurge network servers in your client's server list, here they are:

  • irc.gamesurge.net - random GameSurge server
  • irc.eu.gamesurge.net - random European GameSurge server

For a guide on how to locate, install and set up an IRC client, see Setting up an IRC client.

If you need quick access, you can log in from your internet browser using a web application such as mibbit.

Certain WormNET snoopers include the possibility to enter #worms. To connect using Great Snooper, enable the respective option in the snooper's settings.

Discord

The channel is also bridged to the Full Wormage discord server.
