some people also like having animosity and not registering to anything by putting their name on anything, in any fashion. IRC allows you to just join, with some name, talk with people about the game or anything else and just leave after that. Never once leaving a mark as to who they were. Hell, even the anonymous users may have a wikia account and have used the chat but hate logging in all the time just to make an edit here or there, or logging in to just chat. Whereas with IRC you can just log on and not worry about typing in a username/password.
