We have our own IRC channel on Freenode.net, #eq2i

The channel is not often used, with the overall decline of popularity of IRC infavor of ingame voice and cross-server chats, but is a useful gathering place during downtimes, or for holding live wiki meetings, or for collaborating on wiki projects with other users (*this may be replaced by Wikia's "on wiki" chat system in the coming months)
