US Petopians: Voice Chat

Unread post by Ryno »

I've seen talk about voice chat. Some people would prefer it to normal typing to communicate, some wouldn't mind it, and some wouldn't like it. Therefore, I would like to make a thread so we can discuss options, and the like. See if anyone has a server of Ventrilo to use or whatnot. Or ideas for other options. Etc.

Ventrilo server here. Ask for it in advance and I can put it up.

I also exist on DeviantArt.

I honestly wouldn't mind. I never used Vent often, but in my older guild it was fun to just kinda hang out and talk to people.

I don't mind text chat, but sometimes it is hard to follow what's going on in it. I love being involved in GChat but when I start leveling I really can't focus on both typing and fighting. With passively listening to guild chat I can stil keep up on what's going on :D

I'm all for Vent, it'd make it far easier to socialise, as when i'm on the PC i do a lot of things at once, and just pressing one key to talk is far easier than typing out each sentence.

In the event that we do get a vent, i will pretty much always be there. While I may not be horribly active on the forums, i am disgustingly active in game. Vent will just make it more so.

Mmk. I may ask to have it set up for our weekly guild event on Fridays. This week will have to be a practice run to see how it works, hehe.

We start our events at 8:00 PM server time, which is 9:00 PM EST, which is... um... some time later or something... for you?

Uhm... It's most likely in the middle of the night. But I'll get it up. The only problem, as I see it, is the incredible latency you'll get. It may work temporarily, but I suggest you guys get a local server. Just in case.

I'll get the IP and such up here for you. And the link to a client. And a short guide on setting it up. And maybe an administrators password for Ryno. But just maybe.

Mmk. I'm willing to try it just to see how it goes.

I'd use it for the guild events. It was kind of a pain to be checking the map, trying to go in the right direction, and be typing at the same time. I'm not around enough outside of events to have much else say in it, though.
