Dragon Chat


Dragon chat is a unique chat server designed for medium networks. It has low server overhead. It has many features including the following:
  • The ability for users to register a nick name. Once registered, they can send offline messages to each other, as well as save their settings.
  • "Explorer's World" allows you to create a basic adventure which allows guests to explore a descriptive world you design. Guests may also create their own worlds within yours if they register their nick name.
  • Unlimited chatrooms can be created within the server by guests. Each guest is allowed to be in one room at a time.
  • Users can engage in private conversation with each other.
  • Each chat room has operators who can remove troublesome users or lock the door for privacy.
  • "Power Users" maintain can maintain order. Each Power User has their own special powers and may chat with power users of the same type. A user can be any combination of these. All use of power is logged. There are three levels of power user:
    • Server Operator: A server operator maintains general control on the server. They may remove troublesome users by disconnecting them from the server and preventing them from reconnecting.
    • Universal Channel Operator: This is a special user who has operator status in any chatroom and may remove troublesome users from chatrooms. They may also break into any locked room with a special command.
    • Spy: A spy is a unique power user who has little useful purpose on their own. They can go undercover with a special command and when they do, their name is removed from user listings. They also may silently join a chatroom. Only spies may see other spies. This can be useful for rooting out corruption from within the power users.
  • Customizable messages. Virtually all messages are customizable.
  • Flexable nick names. Nick names can contain any kind of character and can be up to 35 characters.
  • Optional link with IRC can be used to link an IRC channel and a special room in the server. This is strictly optional, and is discouraged because of the complex policy on IRC bots.
  • Users use TELNET to sign in, or a java telnet program from a website. The possibilities are endless as to how you could connect to this server, whether it be from a ruggedized Pocket PC(TM) in the field, a Blackberry(TM) on the go, a hacked ZipIt(TM) Wireless Messenger, or just PC software you have right now.  As long as it has Telnet, it can connect to Dragon Chat!
