Skype is evil, so I support this.

My worry is, wouldn't thinks get a little crowded with 50 people (or more) talking on one channel at once? Or can a single Teamspeak server have multiple channels?

Yes it can.

Yep, multiple channels and much more. It also uses less bandwidth.

OK, we might have a host, I'll tell you more details after we test it...

Yes, I would certainly like to use TS instead of Skype. TS or Ventrilo, or whatever else is there.

I know that starting from certain versions vent have that annoying client limit but earlier versions don't have it, and to be honest I have not noticed any major improvements over the time since that "unlimited" version. So, it could be an alternative as well.

Majkp,

If your current option for a hosting provider doesn't pan out or it seems as if the server is not going to be able to handle a good amount of players (bandwidth issues, which on a large server, even with teamspeak, will happen) let me know.

If it is desired, like I said I will donate the teamspeak server to the community.

I would pre-pay the entire year for the 50 slot server, which is guaranteed reliable, and is also guaranteed not to "vanish" because of someones personal issues in RL.

Something for the admins and the community to think about.

(And before anyone asks, no, I would not act as an administrator on the server, this isn't some "in" to get into the admin staff, I just want to make a difference for the community. That, and I want to be able to TS it up with my fellow community members. I *despise* skype!)

I hope we get this thing going, ive said on many threads this would be better than skype, plus skype has problems with running FL aswell with me.

It can also be setup so each official faction can have a passworded chat room for faction stuff, then have a lobby for everyone to chat together and even a admin one was on the freeworlds teamspeak server so they could talk admin stuff.

DarkOddity · 10-03-2007, 06:33 PM,

Yeah, the possibility with channels is just about endless. Player made channels are even possible as well. Don't want to sit in the lobby? The official channels don't cover what you need or are already full and occupied? Create a temporary channel, hell you can password it if you want to!

If this had been the same time last yeah when my finances where a little better i would have payed for the 50 slot server for disco, as it stands now in a new job that dosnt pay as much and bills for this and that i cant do it :/

OK, BULLDOGNK agreed that he would host it on the PvP server, which is great.

We're preparing the info post as well as a simple tutorial and we'll post it soon.

Again i will never ask for any payment for something i can do for free.

im a computer maniac and have more band width than i need, so enjoy, but remember ill be the same badass admin on the TS server aswell:)

Cheers
