Hello everyone, Imp here.

I am here on behalf of rabid and the others who are involved in this including patriot act, spectre and conquer. This was a pretty recent idea that we've had and rabid has recently bought a Vent server currently with the capacity for 50 people to use it at a time. If you don't know what Vent is, it is a chat channel a lot like skype but made for gamers for multi users at a time.

The idea that we had originally was to create a place for people to come and do whatever they like. We had the idea to create separate channels for various different groups / supergroups.

So we have put this all together now and over the past few days we've had various people on chatting about all the things we want to do for this. We had names such as Caliga and Old Glory on chatting and I must say it was actually great fun over this morning (for me) chatting to everyone on here.

We that various groups of people will contact us if they wish to have a separate / private channel. It will allow them to chat to each other if they make a team of people or just want to chat privately. We hope this will be a place for all players of CO to come and use for whatever purpose they need it for as well as meet everyone to create a closer community.

It's totally free, all you need to do is download the program "Vent" from here. - http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php

Here is the vent server info:

IP: malachite.typefrag.com

Port number: 6315

We really hope all players will be able to use this as they see fit, we want a troll free zone where we can create a closer community in CO and expand it to bring more people into the game.

    Great idea and good work.
    I will give it a shot. I don't usually play voice chat, but I will give it a whirl.

    Wow, a vent server for CO huh? I hope Rabid didn't pay too much or it.

    Thanks Rabid! (if you can read this lol)

    Also just to make sure, anyone that plays CO can use this? Otherwise its an incredible effort to buy a server that size..I hope people use it appropriately.

    Yes, a vent server for all of CO. Wonder if we'll even get close to filling that 50 person limit.

    Never used vent before, so this should be interesting.

    Vent is a different version of TeamSpeak for anyone who's used that. It's pretty solid, I recommend running it as an admin so you don't get any conflicts with other programs :)

    It's always nice to see more friendly communication among players, if I can tear myself away from the other Vent server I'm usually on I'll pop in to say hi now and then :P

    A lot of players with different points of view are already supporting this. We should definitely use this vent server to bring in a more unified community which rabid set up this vent specifically for. I'll certainly be active in it to chat with other players who will be interested in talking live.

    sounds like a good idea,

    now if someone could fix my hearing , so I could actually understand anyone on chat channels like Vent.
    I've tried various ones in various games, all I get is garbled mumbles and unless the voices are very different in pitch, they all sound the same to me.

    Sure, I'll check it out sometime.

    We did something similar a week ago (only TeamSpeak instead of Ventrilo); perhaps a little more focused, but still open to all channel participants.

    Thanks for offering this to the community.

    You can change the volume of individual members by right clicking them, going into miscellaneous, then adding the Volume from the right into the left list and altering the volume by percentage. Remove and readd until you get it right.

    We are much more about building a community for every player of CO whoever they may be. Your team speak may be useful for some when the rampages start up though, lets hope they come soon. :D

    There used to be in game team chat, it was amusing cause your characters would actually move their faces based on pitch and loudness of the voices... I kinda miss that feature...

    It's another way for you to scream "CALIGAAAA!!!" to random strangers.

    But this time using your real voice.

    I'll get on this eventually. I've been busy and haven't felt up to playing CO much at the moment, and I don't think I'd want to use it like Skype and just talk with everyone while I'm doing stuff other than the game I might know them through.

    Perhaps in the Rampage Update I'll pop in.

    That's pretty much what everyone on there is using it for though... think zone chat but with sound.

    We have done a few different types of chat - build building / game discussion / general chat / we had some great PvP going for a bit where amazingly no one was being kicked. :O It's only a few days old remember guys, we want different groups of people to come on to chat. What's wrong with chatting? :<

    Rabid wants us to know that as the vent server grows more options will be added to have categorized voice chat rooms. There are ways to prevent it from being too clustered if there are many conversations going on at the same time.

    Yeah, I had to leave my last vent channel due to a conflict with another player. I miss chatting with people, I'll be on after I get co reinstalled. Probably tomorrow-ish, because patches. Great stuff.

    The vent has been really useful for the new rampage. We've ended up being able to do it easily without any deaths without a healer at times. It's a lot easier and a lot more fun when you can talk to each other. =D
