Okay, so it took us about three-quarters of forever to even think of doing this, but we finally did it. The end-all to the "where's the Zelda Universe chatroom?" questions. The end-all to the "Is the chat room a part of the site or not?" questions. The end-all to anything else about the chat and, mostly, where it is. We've updated the webchat.

Scott and I have prepared something neat that will allow everybody to get to the chat simply and easily. No effort required. For you see, all you have to do is click a link either in the Chat Room page on the site or at the top of the forums. Yes, you see it there, the "Chat Room" link on the left. And you can see the "ZU Chatroom" link on the forums. Yeah, we added that. Because we're awesome.

So, for those unfamiliar with the chat thinking about joining us, let's get you acquainted real quick: The ZU Chatroom has been around for years and was started by our own webmaster James, possibly out of boredom as the history books hint at us, but this is unconfirmed. The chat is mostly comprised of ZU veterans and crazy folk, but for a while Scotty Boy 'n I have been thinking of ways to expand the chat to everybody, not just vet members.

The topic in the chat is rarely ever Zelda, so don't be surprised if we're discussing things that are pretty darn random.

Now that you've been introduced to the chat, you should totally visit. Maybe become a regular. It's fun as heck!

Some features that ZU's new built-in webchat thingie includes:

Fits whatever forum skin you're using.
Automatically sets your nickname to be your username if you are registered and logged in.
Uses PJIRC - a well-known Java-based webchat client. It's lightweight, loads fast, and doesn't look too bad.
It freakin' automatically changes your nickname to your username! Man I still can't get over that. :<
Takes you straight to #zelda on irc.gnug.org - ZU's chatroom.

We recommend registering on ZU so that you can experience how it automatically changes your nick into your username. >_> <_< >_>... but it'll work for unregistered guests, too.

Why are you still reading this, then? I don't know. But I do know that you should be clicking the "Chat Room" link on the left side menu.

Alternatively, if you are lazy, you can click here to launch the webchat.
