IRC is an text based chat system, which to you connect via client software, the most popular one is mIRC.

Get mIRC here: http://www.mirc.com

Once you have an IRC Client installed on your computer, you need to connect to the IRC Server. The fastest way to do is it to click this link:

irc://irc.freenode.net:6667/secondage

If you want to do this manually, You have to follow these steps;

Launch mIRC
First you will see "options" menu(alt+o). set your nickname to what you want other people to see you as. Suggested is to use your ingame name.

Servers.
In the options menu, you see a list to the left. Under 'Connect' you see 'Servers'.
Click 'Add'.
Description: Second Age IRC
IRC Server: irc.freenode.net
Port: 6667 (Default)
Press 'Add'

Now press 'Connect to Server' and within a few seconds you should see the welcome messages and network information.
To join a channel you type;

/join #secondage
