Morphie supports the convenient /ns and /cs command aliases. They correspond to messaging NickServ and ChanServ. If your IRC client does not support the aliases, use /msg NickServ ... or /msg ChanServ ....
CHANSERV
Create and register your own room.
Anyone can join an unused channel name. To register it permanently, you must be identified to a registered nickname and have operator status in the channel.

Group Nicknames
NickServ can group additional nicknames to the same account. Use /ns help group for the syntax supported by your client and services.
SASL Authentication
Morphie supports SASL. Configure your IRC client with your registered nickname/account and password to authenticate automatically while connecting.

Registered nicknames are not automatically enforced. Use /ns help set kill to review NickServ's nickname-protection options and enable the level you prefer.

When IRC won’t connect.
Use the round-robin hostname
For most clients, connect to irc.morphie.net instead of selecting an individual server. Use secure SSL/TLS port 6697 whenever possible.
Tell us what happened
When asking for help, include your IRC client, device/operating system, server hostname, port, and the exact error message.
No IRC client?
Morphie webchat runs in your browser and requires no separate IRC application.
Open Webchat →Mobile apps
Morphie mobile apps remain available on Google Play. They are based on an earlier version of Morphie and are not currently receiving regular updates, but future development is planned.
SAFETY & MODERATION
Keep your IRC experience secure.
Protect your password
Use a strong password, do not reuse it elsewhere, and never send it to another user in a public channel.
Use SSL/TLS
Port 6697 encrypts the connection between your IRC client and Morphie and is the recommended connection method.
Report problems
For live help, join #Help. For private contact, email support@morphie.com. Include relevant nicknames, channels, approximate times, and what happened.
VOLUNTEER HELPERS
What is a Sage?
Sages are Morphie’s volunteer helpers: experienced community members who assist users in #Help, answer questions, and help newcomers find their way around IRC.
Community role
Sages are volunteers who help the community rather than a paid support staff.
Usually found in #Help
The role centers on helping users with Morphie and IRC questions.
Future volunteers welcome
The Sage program can grow as community members become experienced and want to help others.
STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
Talk to us.
The quickest route is #Help. If you cannot connect or need private assistance, email support@morphie.com.
