Teamspeak / Skype?
« on: February 20, 2012, 12:00:37 am »
Sometimes merely communicating throughly barely visible , limited length Text is not entirely enough , consdering it severely dampens gameplay , as your ablitity to move ( or do anything ) is completely destroyed in the meantime.

What I was wondering is if anybody would want to start and host a Teamspeak server , or possibly create a skype group if nobody is able to. I'd find it rather useful and I'm sure you guys would too.

Skype is the best bet. Although it can be unreliable at times, it's easy to use and most people already have it...like me :)

Vent, TS and mumble are far superior to Skype. From my experience on other servers having a sever Skype group or TS server for a large portion of the players is a bad idea. It kills any in-game chat, and any new players are greeted to a completely dead server. It also splits the group between those who use Skype/Vent/TS and those who don't. If we had a large group of active players, and didn't depend on constant flow of new players to keep the server busy, having a TS/vent server would great. Most people use Skype in their own small groups, but use in-game to chat to talk to others (I'm one of them).  I also can't afford to pay for TS/Vent hosting costs.  :-\

Well there is two options, there is raidcall completely free works just like vent. Or if Piix wants I can give him a mumble server that I don't use at all. It is true though if people are on the voips there is no in game chat. New people coming in would feel alone. In any case heres a link to raidcall.
