(Edit: See last post for verdict) Alright, guys, time to start the dialogue. From what I gathered most people want us to get a voice communication server--the question is which kind do we want? While an RP guild might not have a lot of need for voice communication, we'll be branching out into a few more areas of the game while we expand, aka PvP, Operations/Flashpoints, and hey, maybe just plain socializing. Here are some options, along with my 2 bits on each. TeamSpeak:
Tried, tested and true. I like it because it works on an Android phone and I'm too lazy to troubleshoot why the mic on every headset I buy sucks. Servers seem pretty affordable up to the 50 person range, and I doubt we'll ever get that many on. Ventrilo:Pretty much the same damn thing as TS3 and I already have the client downloaded on my PC. Not sure if they have Android or not. Raidcall:
Seems easy to use and install and is apparently free. Doesn't apparently have Android support, so hearing my obnoxious voice might not be a possibility. If we do this I can still pay for more than 1 or 2 uniforms per month. Skype:
Gross. Google Hangouts:
The same damn thing as Skype but I like it better. Same downside as Skype, though--gives out too much personal information. Other suggestions:
Here's a good place to post 'em. After a couple days I'll attach a poll to this thread and that will be how we determine which one we pick. Please, begin the civil discourse, keeping the 'civil' part in mind.

For those of you who aren't already aware, we're doing a trial run of Raidcall. My only beef with it is that there are no audio alerts when people enter. We can circumvent unwanted visitors fairly easily, but I personally have gotten used to the TS cues like "User has entered your channel."
Talk to myself or Ja'sene for the Raidcall info for our test group.

Personaly i don't mind raidcall but ts3 is alot better with its options and customization. I heard vent is not as versitle so i wouldn't do vent at all. I haven't used mumble and skype/google i assume is just out of the question because of personal information. I vote ts3 but i don't mind raidcall.

The verdict: Raidcall, Group ID 10442287. If you have trouble looking this up, just add username skooterheetshooter to your contacts and I'll make you a member.
TeamSpeak is still under heavy consideration, however, and we may go that route in the future, as it has many advantages over Raidcall.

UPDATE!We upgraded. We've got a TeamSpeak3 voice server thanks to our new enjin site. It's password-protected, and the password will change kinda randomly when we feel like changing it. To find out what the latest password is, check out the Classified: Top Secret section of our forums, which is only viewable to members with in-guild toons. If that's you, fill out the new site's application, or, you know, just ask one of us. TS3 server address: chorba.enjinvoice.com
