IRC is an acronym for "Internet Relay Chat".
WoW has been described as an RPG wrapped around an IRC client because so many of its slash commands and chat concepts are lifted from IRC (including, some would say, the atmosphere). The syntax for emotes, joining and parting a channel and ignore are all familiar to IRC users.

- WowAce - chat.freenode.net, #wowace - for Ace questions.
- Dongle - chat.freenode.net, #dongle - a small embeddable framework for addon developers.
- Cosmos - irc.datavertex.com, #cosmostesters - for Cosmos questions.
- Norganna - chat.freenode.net, #norganna - for Norganna's addons questions.
