So I know that it's early and all, and I remember hearing on the 'cast that the answer to "will we have/do...?" is "yes", but ...
Where do we stand on a high-performance, fee-laden VOIP server like the ones Typefrag offers? I, for one would be happy to chip in to help the guild cover the cost. I did some snooping at Typefrag.com and their 75-man servers are $30/mo. Is that too much to hope for?

Has the guild committed itself to Ventrilo? I hope it's still open to discussion, because I'd rather see us use TeamSpeak. (I've played with both and IMHO TS is better.)

In my own experience neither trumps the other outright. There are ppl who will say each is better than the other. In my estimation the key factor "You get what you pay for." Something for our leaders to consider -- if the willingness to support from the members is there.

Well, I think we'd have to get their airspeed velocity up significantly to be efficient.

Remenber guys there is no difference in TS and Vent because the reason why is cause its all about the CODEC used. Depending on that will depend how good the sound quality/lag etc will be. Also guys ur going to have to remenber that sadly unless we can get about 100 quid together a month we wont be able to have a vent server. As i expect that if the game came out tomorrow we would already have more than 75 ppl. Hell i think we might end up with 1000+!!!

I'd like to think that there will be an in game talk system like WoW has. Last I remembered it worked good, and I think it they will most likely follow that.

It's kind of a funny image: Talking to other players over a head set, and in-game characters would do the same with their com-links. Wouldn't it be crazy if when you talked over voice chat your character's mouth moved?

I would definately chip in for this. I always try to group with people in GW who have skype just becouse voice is always so much more efficient than typing.

Important Point:
With Ventrilo, you can voice communicate even OUTSIDE of the game.

Yes. I use Ventrilo and not TeamSpeak regularly.
ORIGINAL INTENT:
Important point: With EXTERNAL PROGRAM VENTRILO/TEAMSPEAK you can communicate even OUTSIDE the game.
Which comes in handy to centralize everyone for guild/TOR discussion.
