Once Connected...
Once you've managed to connect to our network, the next thing you should do is register a NickServ account. What does NickServ do you ask? Well, it holds all of your channel access information, registered nicks, and fakehost information. It's an essential part of your use of the Global Gamers IRC network.
What are the most important NickServ commands?/ns register accountname password emailaddress
Make sure you use a password you will remember and a real e-mail address, since it will be required to validate your account.
/ns auth accountname password
/mode your-nick +x
You can apply for a free custom fakehost by joining#GlobalGamers and messaging HelpServ or asking help from a Global Gamers staff member.
/ns pass oldpassword newpassword
You can apply for a free custom fakehost by joining#GlobalGamers and messaging HelpServ or asking help from a Global Gamers staff member.
(Note: /ns in the above commands is just a shortcut for /msg NickServ@services.globalgamers.net - Obviously /ns is easier to type so we recommend using that.)
What are the most important ChanServ commands?
Firstly, ChanServ commands can be used in a few ways if ChanServ is already in your channel. !command in any registered channel, /cs command , or /msg ChanServ command.
/cs register #channel
If other users are occupying the channel you must have op (@) status to complete registration.
