IRC?

[IRC] stands for wikipedia:Internet_Relay_Chat.
Basically, it's chatroom server and client software in general. In [IRC],
you have servers and channels. Servers hold the channels, and are hosted on
dedicated machines. The channels are the actual chatrooms. [IRC] allows you
to chat with people in real-time around the world.

The official [Hercules] channel room can be found
here.
Web-based IRC chat is available too: http://herc.ws/board/page/irc.html

To actually connect to [IRC], if you do not already have an
wikipedia:Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_clients and do not
wish to run the java chat, you're going to need an IRC client. There are many
different IRC clients, and none are really the 'best'. Opinions vary on which
are better. The most commonly used IRC client on
wikipedia:Microsoft_Windows is
mIRC. The most commonly used client on nix is a tossup
between BitchX and XChat.
Note that XChat is pay-to-use on wikipedia:Microsoft_Windows, but
not on nix.

For those not looking to go in-depth into manuals to figure out how to
connect, you can actually be up and running by simply installing mIRC, and
then typing the following two commands into the mIRC command line on the
status window:

 /nick NickYouWantHere
 /server irc.rizon.net -j #Hercules

And you'll be connected.
