Eggy BNC is staying completely free for both new and existing users. You can now add up to 5 IRC networks to your BNC, use browser-based WebChat, manage your connection from the dashboard, and enjoy free vHost features without needing to spend a penny.
Eggy BNC was built with one clear promise: IRC access should stay simple, useful and free.
That promise is not changing.
Whether you are a new user looking for a reliable free BNC, or an existing Eggy user already connected to your favourite IRC networks, Eggy BNC remains 100% completely free to use. There is no required subscription, no forced payment, and no hidden charge just to use the core service.
The biggest update is the network limit. Free users can now add a staggering 5 IRC networks to their Eggy BNC account without needing to spend a penny.
That means you are no longer restricted to using Eggy for only one IRC home. You can keep multiple communities connected at the same time, whether that is your main network, a support network, a friends network, a project network, or somewhere you only check occasionally. Your BNC stays connected even when you are away, helping you keep your IRC presence active and easier to manage.
With up to 5 networks, Eggy BNC becomes much more flexible for real IRC users. You can connect to different IRC networks from one account, manage them from your dashboard, and use your BNC as a proper always-on IRC hub rather than a single-network test account.
Alongside the increased network allowance, Eggy also includes browser-based WebChat access.
WebChat makes your BNC easier to use when you do not have a desktop IRC client available. You can launch chat from your browser, access your connected networks more conveniently, and use Eggy from more places without needing to set up a full IRC client every time. It is especially useful when you are on another computer, checking in quickly, or simply prefer a cleaner web-based way to reach your IRC sessions.
Eggy BNC also includes free vHost features.
A vHost helps improve how your IRC connection appears on supported networks. Instead of exposing a plain connection identity, you can use an Eggy-provided vHost for a cleaner and more personalised IRC presence. This is useful for privacy, identity, and making your connection look more polished when you are using your BNC across different networks.
The dashboard gives you a simple place to manage your BNC account, networks, WebChat access and vHost settings. The aim is to make Eggy feel easier than old-style BNC management, while still giving IRC users the control they expect.
To be clear: you do not need to pay to use the main Eggy BNC service. You do not need to pay to add up to 5 IRC networks. You do not need to pay to use WebChat. You do not need to pay to use the included vHost features.
Eggy BNC is free because the goal is to give IRC users a reliable, friendly and modern place to stay connected.
For existing users, this means more room to grow. If you already use Eggy for one or two networks, you can now build out your setup further and make Eggy your main BNC home.
For new users, this means you can join with confidence. You are not signing up to a limited demo or a locked-down trial. You are getting a real free BNC account with practical features from day one.
Eggy BNC is here for IRC users who want something simple, useful and dependable.
