The game aspect is entirely optional, and is not needed or relevant for
a Lego chat. I would suggest that a talker would be sufficent (no
creatures or objects) as this would also be lighter on system resources.
I guess private IRC is more pleasant than public IRC? :)
The main draw for a talker over IRC would be that you can access it via
standard telnet - which is a lot simpler for most users as virtually
everyone with an internet connection has a version of telnet.
Because a talker is a kind of reality simulation - you have a character
and can wander around rooms etc, you do become more personally involved
in it. Which is why I thought it might suit LUGNET better, in my
(limited!) experience IRC is a bit more.. faceless? IRC is good at what
it is for, but for getting to know people individually and making
friends, I think a talker is a more suitable environment.
But that's just my opinion and I'll try out whatever is set up :)
Have Fun!
