What is Teamspeak?
Basically its a chatroom powered by voice rather than text. You can chat to people in the same channel as you by pressing your push to talk button. You will obviously need a microphone for this to work.
How to Start
Download TeamSpeak ( http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloads - they have Win, Linux & Mac clients )
Install TeamSpeak, ( If you dont know how to install a program then i just really cant help you.)
Start TeamSpeak From the icon on your desktop. ( Teamspeak takes up a fairly small amount of desktop space so you should be able to view it, and these instructions at the same time.)
Setting up your Push to Talk button.
Goto "Settings"
Goto "Sound Input/Output Settings"
Select "Push to talk"
Select "Set", then push the button you want to press(&hold) when you want to speak. I typically use the APPS button or CTRL.
Select "Close"
Adding the Monarchygame TS server

Right-Click in the white space under Servers

Type a name in that you will remember (I Typed "Monarchy")
Fill in the "Server's Address" (ts.monarchygame.com)
Fill in your nick name (My nickname is Gili, so thats what i filled in)
Click "Anonymous".
Fill in Server Password: letmein123 ( Let me in 123 ...no spaces )
Click Connect
What is IRC?
IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a multi-user, multi-channel chatting system. Imagine sitting in front of your computer and "talking" through typed messages with either one person or many other people from all over the Internet, all in real time! Best of all, once you get set up, chatting on IRC is totally free!
How to Start
Download an IRC client ( There are various IRC clients, mIRC is a good choice http://www.mirc.co.uk/get.html )
Our IRC server is irc.monarchygame.com, port 6667
#Chat is our default chatroom
