Joining the mIRC chat...
For those of you fluent with mIRC, the chat room is on "irc.zirc.org" in "#galaxies". For those of you who don't understand what I just said, follow these simple instructions:
1) Download the latest version of mIRC from the official mIRC site!
2) Install it!
3) Run mIRC.exe.
4) You should be a screen that looks similar to this.
5) Click the second button from the left.
6) You should see a window like this.
7) Click the "Add" button.
8) Put "Star Wars Galaxies Chat" into the description field.
9) Put "irc.zirc.org" into the server field.
10) Click "OK"
11) Click the "Connection to IRC Server" button.
12) Your mIRC window will begin to fill up with lines that make no sense. Similar to this (the network will be different). You are in the process of connecting to the server.
13) Once you are connected to the server, type "/join #galaxies". You should now be in the chat room! Watch out for flying trout.

Chatting...
Once you are in the chatroom, you can use the following commands to increase your chatting enjoyment:
/nick [nickname] - Replace [nickname] with your new chat handle. Chat handles have a max of 30 chars. (Only works in the mIRC chat) /me [emote] - Replace [emote] with an action. Just like in the old MUDs! /join [roomname] - Replace [roomname] with the name of a chat room and you will join that room. (Only works in the mIRC chat) /quit [quit message] - Logs off the server and leaves that chat. Replace [quit message] with a witty message, or leave it blank. (Only works in the mIRC chat)

Soloing can be fun, and is probably the best way to gain that Scout XP you need to become a Bounty Hunter. This guide should help you through the pitfalls, trials and tribulations that are soloing.
This guide serves to address these frequently asked questions on SWG crashes and performance. I am also confident that people who are having problems, if you follow this guide carefully you will make progress to getting it fixed, or at least having the situation better understood.
