Emuparadise has a guide which can be found here although some changes are needed for the guide, the first one being, u must now connect to irc.emuparadise.org, which must be set up, u can do this by going to the step that tells u to scroll to newnet and instead click on Add and under the options put:
Description: EMUnet
IRC Server: irc.emuparadise.org
Port(s): 6667
You do not need anything for group or password, once u have filled that in, click on add, then just make sure that EMUnet is selected and continue following the directions.
Once you are on the #emuparadise channel, u will then need to go to #emuserve, u MUST stay in #emuparadise to be in #emuserve or else Gouki's script will kick/ban u for 3 minutes the first time, and kick/ban u until an op unbans u the second time. To join #emuserve, type /join #emuserve.
