TS or Ventrilo

Do we have a guild channel?

I am currently sitting with a few friends on a Vent server wich belongs to a CS guild, but I feel that I would like to have a more "direct" communication with the guild than the GC.

I also hate WoW ambient, and need something to listen to when I am out all by myself (Yes, my Mp3 library has been corrupted

)

Do we have such a server, or could it be arranged in the close future? If we need to pay for it, I am sure I can fit it in my monthly budget

We don't have a guild channel per se, and I wonder if something like that would be popular. If anything, it would probably make the guildchat redundant and used less which isn't a good thing I think.

I listen to music when I play, and wouldn't want to hear chatter all the time anyway. I'm not playing wow for a chatbox

We did have one before but only a few people used it.

The only places where Ventrilo would probably be useful would be in doing the tactical briefings for complicated raidbosses - otherwise I don't think it's really needed - and even the briefings can be macroed.

So there is not enough interest to make a new one? Too bad ^^

Vent is sooooooooo usefull when raiding, and can be very, very conveniant for premading

Don't underestimate it for raiding btw

Aside from the 10x faster and better understandable tactics explaining, you can also simply say 'mind the incomming dog guys' instead of typing it (thus not playing for 3-4 seconds) or not typing it at all because your hands are tied. But most of all, it brings the guildies together and it's usually alot of fun to talk with your guildies while raiding.

Forgot about PvP - yes, in these cases it would be useful. However..

In this case I disagree - that's what /RW is for.

I'd love to see an RC vent or TS. I don't have a mic nor headset right now, but I'd get one if someone hooks us up with a server.

People in this guild are very shy in general, from my gathered experiences, and it would be fun to at least hear some voices. Awesome idea.

I used ventrilo and TS in the past for VARC raids and ofcourse for the burning dawn rp events. I think it can be fun, but personally I like having music in the background instead of voices where I have to turn down the sound and music. So I won't be a regular user anyway.

For certain events, like pvp and difficult quests/instances it would be nice to have.

About using /rw, it does get attention pretty well I think, but still you either have to prepare some macro's in advance or skip on some combat while you type in what you would've been able to say while fighting with vent/ts.
