It operates a global cluster of servers distributed across multiple continents for performance and reliability. Users can connect using the main entry point: <code>irc.darkworld.chat</code> The system automatically routes you to the nearest or least-loaded hub. Alternatively, users may connect directly to a regional server such as: * 🇺🇸 US – us-east.darkworld.chat * 🇺🇸 US – us.darkworld.chat * 🇺🇸 US – miami.darkworld.chat * 🇫🇮 Finland – helsinki.darkworld.chat * 🇪🇸 Spain – spanish.darkworld.chat * 🇦🇺 Australia – sydney.darkworld.chat * 🇦🇺 Australia – au.darkworld.chat * 🇮🇩 Indonesia – jakarta.darkworld.chat * 🇩🇪 Germany (DWGames) – dwgames.darkworld.chat For a full overview of the infrastructure, visit → [[Servers_List|DWIRC Server List]]. The network runs on UnrealIRCd (as the IRC daemon) and Anope Services for authentication, NickServ, ChanServ, and bot management. == 🏗️ Infrastructure Overview == DarkWorld’s infrastructure is distributed across multiple regions with dedicated IPv6 and IPv4 connectivity. All services are containerized and managed through secure automation scripts ensuring high uptime, stability, and isolation between user environments.
