After reconnecting to the game server you should see text that looks similar to the pink text below.
Notice that the IRC option in the window is selected.
This tells the client that when you type something into the game. It is sent over to IRC.
If you wish to switch back to in game chat, select the Talk/Emote option. See more information in the chat section.
5. For those users who are using a seperate program such as mirc to log into the IRC chat server, they will see your text similar to image below.
Although you may not put a z_ in front of you name in the IRC settings of the chat client.
The game client automatically assigns a z_ to your name in the chat channel to indicate you are connected through the game client.
But through the game chat you will always see the name that you selected in the IRC Settings.
