<div class="IPBDescription">IRC/MOD idea</div>Hello everyone,
during NS1 competetive we used to have IRC channels up for finding either gathers/pickups or PCW/SCRIMS (names depended on Euros and Yanks).
This simplified alot of things. Finding matches, reaching anyone needed and finding new players.
I might be wrong here, but from the looks of it, people are now using steam chat or forums for this? Which I find as quite the hassle.
So, I was wondering if anyone had the knowledge or skillset to integrate this with the game?
There's currently some channels in the making or existing on IRC.QUAKETNET.ORG as follows:
(note: this is the EU scene and Q-net was used during NS1, so there is alot of players and channels still there.)
#ENSL - European Natural Selection League
#NS2.Search - Find SCRIM/PCW
#NS2.se - Swedish community in NS2
#NS2.pickup - Play in random teams with 6 players versus 6 in competetive matches for fun and to evolve/learn
(There's a guy called wltrs from NS1 that is currently establishing this channel for people to play in and there will be a "pickup" bot, with different commands,
where you can type .j for example, to join and play.)
I think this would be so much easier to get a new player evolved into the clanscene and into pickup matches for fun.
Not sure if this is entirely possible or if the devs need to have a hand in this, but it just seems to me that this would make things alot easier.
(I'm sure there's more channels, this is just the ones that crossed my mind)
