Activeworlds is quite nice, however it has draw backs.
It is quite CPU intensive, it is not multiplatform, requires
registration for the best experience (which is a cost of $20/user I
believe, it's been a while) and then you are depending on a server
that another company is running.

IRC is multiplatform, the server daemons are free for most OSs, the
clients are free for most OSs, it is not CPU intensive on either the
server or the client side.
