How do I change/register my nickname on the live chat?

To change your nickname, type "/nick nickname" into the text box, with "nickname" being your desired nickname. Then simply hit enter. Note that spaces are not allowed in nicknames.

To register a nickname on our chat (and set up an account on the server; note that the nickname you are currently using will be the account's name), type the code "/msg nickserv register password email" while you have the nickname you wish to register, with your email substituted for the "email" segment, and the password you want to use when you next log on with that nickname substituted for the "password" segment.

By registering your nickname and creating an account, you reserve the rights to that nickname, and you will be prompted to log in with your password next time you log in with that username. To log in use the "Auth To Services" option on the Capthca page, or the code "/msg nickserv identify password," with your password in place of "password" if already in the chat.

Note: An account on our chatbox is not the same as an account on NI, and they are in no way linked.
