5,000 Gold to whomever can find the cheapest ventrilo hostin

[abecx]

Sup,

5000G to whomever finds us the cheapest 50 or 80 man ventrilo server, right now we are spending $22.95 a month for 80 man, I would like to drop that price down. I want to maintain the same sound quality though.

Alternatively would you guys be interested in a mumble server?

command channel is the definitive mumble host, people have had positive experiences with them as opposed to the 'host your thing here for x$ with discount coupon and 12 month purchase' bullshit sites


ps: heres my quote from that old vent thread, its worth a read

So, I don't know if you guys have come across Mumble before, but I wanted to draw your attention to it.

Mumble is a low latency VoIP that, in my opinion, trumps Vent hands down. While Mumble's auto-normalisation is nice and convenient, the real feather in Mumble's cap is the fact that there is no vent lag.

That's right.

No. Vent. Lag.

My raid decided to try it out during our LK kill last night. As the raid leader, I instantly fell in love with it. Full on in love. "Plague in two seconds" -was- "Plague in two seconds". "Defile in five" -was- "Defile in five". I wasn't having to readjust and call five seconds at six and half. I didn't have to call abilities early to make sure people still had plenty of time to react after vent lag. There is literally about as much lag as a normal phone call.

Mumble does have its downsides. It does require a fair bit more configuration and set up than vent. I was also told that it is a relatively new program - and it certainly seems that way. There are still things that feel not quite as finely tuned as they could be. The client, too, is less user-friendly than vent. However, the technologically-illiterate me managed to navigate around it without too much trouble, so it is not all that bad.

As I said, we tried it out last night. Based on that, I would strongly, strongly urge the raid leadership to look into this. We've had issues with vent lag in the past and Mumble removes that. House has a server that, if you don't, we would be pleased to let you use if you want to try it out/test it for yourself. Just let me know and I will pass along the details. ^_^
