XMPP Chat

Here at Outpost Universe, we feel that real-time chat is the best way to communicate with each other when online. We use XMPP as our chat protocol. This is also where we meet to organize and play sessions of Outpost 2; it is also an replacement of WON.

XMPP Chat is a virtual meeting place where people from all over the world can meet and talk; you'll find the whole diversity of human interests, ideas, and issues here, and you'll be able to participate in group discussions in one of our many chatrooms or just talk in private to family or friends, wherever they are in the world.

Downloads

The XMPP protocol can be utilized in many different chat clients (e.g. Adium, Digsby, iChat, etc.). Provided below is the default XMPP client for the XMPP server software we are using.

Windows: Download
Mac OSX: Download
Linux: Download

Instructions

  1. After installing the client, start the client up and create a user by clicking the "Accounts" button.
  2. In the "Create new account" window, enter a username, password, and type the server as "outpost2.net". Then click the "Create Account" button.
  3. After that is completed, enter your user information if it has not already been done for you. The "Server" field should be filled with "outpost2.net". Then click "Login" to connect the chat server.
  4. After logging in, you will have a contacts list show up. Feel free to add others that have already registered.
  5. Near the bottom of the client, there is a "Conferences" tab. Click on that, then double click on "conference.outpost2.net". This will bring up the chat rooms available and also give you the ability to create your own.
